Shane, Eli, and Ryan joined Josh and me at the Landmark Center in Saint Paul for New Years Eve this year. We decided we wanted to do something different and go to a big party. There were around 1200 people there! Vic Volare and his band filled the atrium with 40s & 50s music, and by 9pm the floor was packed with swing dancing! Not only was the music great for dancing, they also gave a short swing lesson and had dance performances by the Swing Cats.
Here we are for the toast just before the balloons dropped from the ceiling!
After sleeping in, we finally made brunch around 1pm. It was so nice to have a big breakfast of eggs, bacon, toast, and oj. Afterward we went for a nice long ski at Cleary Lake park in Prior Lake. It was such a beautiful day...30 degrees!
I made the guys make a stop on the way home at the Quilter's Haven. They were having a big sale on fabric, and I needed almost 7 yards for my next dress project. Stay tuned...
We went home to a hot pot of homemade chili and cornbread for dinner. My friend Corynn joined us for the grub and an intense game of Ticket to Ride.
So far I don't have any New Year's resolutions. I never seem to think of them other than during the first week of the year. Maybe I should make a resolution to finish all the sewing projects I currently have in progress!
I had a blast hosting our women's fellowship group a couple of weekends ago! I love to be the hostess with the mostess any time (dinner party anyone?), but it was especially nice to have a group of wonderful ladies over to share our lives, thoughts, Christian love... and breakfast! I hope I can spend more time with all of these sisters because I know I can learn a lot from them. I hope God will take this group to new heights and depths. This fellowship is something I've yearned for and know I need.
