Ending Well

We had been looking forward to an NYE party at a friend’s house, but with Piper and Wesley just finishing the croup, Wesley half-way through medications for a severe ear infection, Piper on the first day of medication for a similar infection, and Kyla vomiting a few times over a few days—in addition to the runny noses they’ve all had—we ended up spending the last evening of the year a little more quietly and solitary than we had wanted.

My beloved knew I was disappointed, so he made a plan to cheer me up by making a very special dinner. For us, he made lobster tail, Kyla asked for and received steak and peas, Piper shrimp and corn. We had crème brulee and dark chocolate truffles for dessert.

Okay, it cheered me up perfectly.

We did get out of the house a bit.  Bellevue Square had a special New Year’s edition of Snow Flake Lane.  The SnowStorm is a new addition this year. They know exactly how cool they are!
