fast away the old year passes....


And here we are (already) another New Year's eve.... and my least "liked" holiday... because the Christmas season is coming to an end, and not being a party person... I just don't find it all that exciting. We puttered around the farm.. had this last little load of wood to tuck in the shed... there is no snow, so the sleigh hasn't been taken out... and it's just sort of a pitsy day...... 
Kass called and wanted to know if we wanted to go out to dinner with the Flagg side of the family. We all decided to go early because it's easier for the kiddos and we didn't have reservations any where, so might be limited on where we could get in. Warrens seemed like a good bet, they have nice meals and a salad bar... and could take us early...
They seated us out in the outer room, which turned out to be real nice because the kids could move around. Abi came along (she's spending the night with us)... and likes the idea that she can go up to the salad bar and pick out her own things....
Besides... she loves being with all of us.. especially her "Tee-tee"......
Reagan was a good little chap as well... he's becoming quite independent, and it using utensil's  now when he eats...
if he eats.... tonite he was much more interested in feeding his tractor!!!!!  It was a nice evening, and again... being with family is really "what it's all about".... that lesson I have learned well....
Abi had a second (third/fourth) Christmas present event... we had a few things here for her, so when we got back from supper, we had our own little Christmas eve on New Year's Eve..... 



Tomorrow we will  be hosting our Open house... it's become sort of a tradition around here, and some how makes the last of the holidays a little less of a let down. I'm not expecting as many as have come in the past.. but either way... my home filled with family and friends, can't get much better than that....
