New Year's Eve

Welp, this post is not going to be reflective.  2012 was a great year, but to be honest, I tend to dominate the even years.  Hopefully this odd year of 2013 will be kind to me.

I know you're dying to compare NYE activities so I will share mine with you.

My day was spent in snow gear slowly freezing to death in Rock Canyon Park sledding with Dillon and some of his friends.  E'rybody, I haven't been sledding in years.  I found out that I actually do like sledding (though I still think it's dangerous...), it's the cold I hate.  So the best way to stay warm was to keep sledding and walk back up the hill to get the blood pumping to my feet. 

In the evening, I stopped by the store to grab some sparkling cider when I saw that shrimp was on sale!! I love that stuff, you guys!  In my 'favorites' order of seafood, it's a three way tie between crab, scallops, and shrimp.  Also smoked salmon, though I guess I include fish in another group entirely, but you didn't need to know that, so on with my story!

The whole point is, I made this awesome shrimp with mushrooms in a garlic cream sauce for dinner, woooo!

(leftovers the next day so it doesn't look as good--but it was)

And then my night was spent sewing pillow covers for the pillows I got at Ikea in the "as is" section for only $1.50 each.  Major steal!  That's where I got my glass jars that I filled with candy :) Allison was a gem and let me borrow her sewing machine! I'll get one someday, but until then I have a great friend who let me use hers. 

Dillon had to film at a party so he came over to Allison's and finished ringing in the New Year with us.

Happy New Year!!
