Goodbye 2017!

2017 flew by. This was the year that my husband and I decided would be boring- no health issues or surprises. Sadly that didn't happen but as I keep saying everything can be fixed!! So we had a lot to be grateful for this Christmas. We had a nice day with my family. My brother always hosts and both my nieces brought their newly adopted (rescue) puppies. So cute! My sister in-law made a fabulous dinner and it was pretty relaxed. My book group met for our annual Christmas Potluck and Yankee Swap which was a lot of fun. Delicious food, clever gifts and lots of discussions. I thought most of us enjoyed Eleanor Oliphant (or Elephant -silly autocorrect!).

Here we are taking a "mirror" selfie! Hard to get everyone with her eyes open and not making a face! Here is our annual group photo.

My husband and I had our usual early New Year Eve dinner last night. We are not big fans of going out on NYE so we try to have a nice, quiet dinner some where a few days before NYE. The restaurant served a complimentary glass of Prosecco which was a nice surprise.

And today it has been snowing since mid- morning. It is a very light snow so not much accumulation (maybe an inch or so) but it looks pretty. Helps with the extremely cold temps we are experiencing. Happy New Year to all!
