Ringing in the new year

I meant to post this a couple of weeks ago, but time got away from me. We celebrated New Year's Eve at home and were joined by the Stanleys and Scharnbergs for a fantastic steak dinner prepared by Ryan, along with bubbly and lots of great wine. Steph and Bret spent the night, and then on New Year's Day, Mom and Randy came over for lunch.

Honey and Big worked on homemade hamburgers and french fries while Aunt Sassy kept the boys entertained with a couple of their new Christmas gifts.

It was the perfect low-key way to spend the first day of the new year.
