Our New Year's Eve Celebration is pretty laid back. It is a day that we usually spend around the house and are able to relax after all the holiday hustle and bustle. As the evening approaches we get things ready for our "fancy dinner".
We have made grilling out a New Year's Eve tradition. Tonight's dinner is the finest of homegrown organic sirloin steaks (raised right on the farm) with the usual sides of potatoes, veggies, and a salad. The kids choice of dessert is an Oreo chocolate mousse cake (obviously not organic, but sure is yummy and definitely a treat!). The kids are also always excited because on New Year's Eve we give them their choice of drink for their wine glasses at dinner time. Usually it is a kiddie cocktail with cherries on a stick or strawberry daiquaries , but this year they unanimously decided they would see what a Coke tastes like. Yes, in this house, soda is never really an option. On occasion we do have our root beer floats or on a really really warm summer day we will have an iced cold glass of root beer. On birthdays and other special celebrations we will break out the 7 Up with cherries for a sweet cocktail, but that is pretty much it. So the whole Coke thing is completely new to them. Very daring!!!
