Merry Christmas...Thank the Lord it's over and done with and now we can look to the New Year with hope and wonder!!!! Currently my hubby is cleaning the kitchen from our strange and mixed-up New Year's day meal. I can't say that I can cook as well, or even as close, as my Nan but I'm getting there. Being away from home and not having those comfort foods among other things has not been an easy adjustment but I'm learning to bring what I knew as home into my new home. I'm not going to lie and say that I am this culinary genious but I'm learning. It wouldn't have been New Year's Day without black eyed peas and collard greens and they were actually pretty close to my Nan's recipe. See Mom I can cook!!!!

The best for last......My hubby and the mixed up crab legs!!!!

All in all 2006 was a pretty good year and now we are all left to ponder what to do with 2007. Tomorrow my ex-mother in-law will be invading to decorate Bre's room which is nerve wrecking in iteself but this too shall pass. I'm not going to worry about what she thinks of my house and it's current condition. I live in a house occupied by 6 people with 4 of those being little people that are constantly leaving disaster in their paths. Everything will be ok...Deep cleansing breaths!!!!!!
