New Years...

This New Years my plan is to declutter and finally get rid of everything I don't need, want or use.  I started by getting my china hutch set up and taking out all the items that don't belong there.  I also FINALLY got all the pictures back up on the walls in the living room and dining room.  Looks pretty good too if I say so myself.

I will continue my goal of us eating dinner at the table each night as a family when possible.  I am going to enforce the concept of not using the table as a catch all.  This has gotten to be quite an issue since we finished the remodeling.  We got use to not having a table during the remodeling and now I have to get everyone back into the habit.

I got to use my beautiful china for New Years dinner

We had ham, mac and cheese, scalloped potatoes, sour dough rolls, hot cocoa, corn and salad.  The table looked so nice.

We had a special New Years Eve dinner also, due to various reasons we did not get to have a special dinner for Christmas Eve or Christmas Day so Sky cooked an amazing Prime Rib dinner for New Years Eve.  I do not know what Sky's future will hold...he loves music and he loves to cook.  I had to be gone due to Brady having a swim camp and I gave Sky some direction and crossed my fingers...

The Prime Rib was cooked perfect!

 

 

The dinner was rounded out with baked potatoes with all the toppings, salad, corn and Cheddar Bay biscuits.  I just wish we had used the good china for this dinner too.

So we have had a wonderful start so far.  My babies go back to school tomorrow and in many ways I am going to miss having them home all day.  But, I will enjoy the quiet during the day also.

Hope everyone has a wonderful 2015!
