And finally to our New Year. As i had to work until 5pm New Years eve i decided we would have just a quiet New Year, just the 4 of us. Appetisers and champagne/kiddie champagne followed by game night. The picture of the boys shows Cade giving instructions to his brother of how to act out the clue for charades. With Grannie and Granda Stewart now sadly gone, the Lesinas are going to carry the torch for "New Years Eve" charades :-)

and for mums benefit, we had shrimp, puff pastry appetisers( all with differnet fillings ie ricotta and sun dried tomatoes, mushroom and caramelised onion, cheese and roasted garlic and roasted red peppers with cheese....from costco), and artichoke and spinach dip in a sourdough bowl ( I made this. Thanks to Laramie for the recipe that came from her mother in law). Of course there had to be a veggie so we had chopped up cucumbers as well. Look at how focussed Cade was on the shrimp. That huge ring did not last long!!!!
