Hello all, I have been away from my blog for a few days...lost in deep thought, but don't worry, I didn't hurt myself, and am back to wish you all a happy New Year! Nothing like a mid-day glass of champagne to start the new year off right!
(Of course, Emma and Sophie are drinking sparkling white grape juice...and they're still in their pajamas at lunchtime!! These girls know how to relax.)
Sophie was not a big fan of the sparkling grape juice. She claimed it was "too fuzzy." Emma said a beautiful New Year's blessing for us. We have come to accept the fact that she is our resident spiritual guru. We also dined on traditional new year's day foods... our version of hoppin' john, ham and spinach. I just can't bring myself to eat the traditional collard greens; I've tried, but we all agreed spinach was close enough...and tastier. Sophie tried my sauteed spinach with nutmeg and gave it two thumbs up. Precisely what she said was, "Actually this spinach is not bad!" (I'll take it!)
So cheers and best wishes to you all from the Carsons in Wales. We hope that 2009 will be full of new hope and bountiful blessings. We have so enjoyed spending time together as a family this holiday season and are feeling very blessed, indeed, as we start the new year!
"In the New Year, may your right hand always be stretched out in friendship, but never in want." ~ Traditional Irish toast

Is that PINK champagne, by any chance?
