Busy New Year’s Weekend
We had a busy New Year’s weekend, it was so exhausting I didn’t post yesterday (so sorry)! On Wednesday I spent all day cooking, making some bread for our New Year’s Eve meal with friends and a big chocolate cake for desert. I also made a few other things for the freezer. On New Year’s Eve we went with my dad and some friends down to the family hunting cabin for some target practice.
Mr Chiots wants to spend a lot of time practicing this year so he can get a few more deer during hunting season this year.
Our friends got a new gun and had a good time trying it out.
We headed back to their house for a simple meal of meatball subs with a side salad. Shaun makes the meatballs following his grandma’s recipe, they’re quite delicious.
After a filling meal we played cards and chatted, nothing to exciting, but a perfect way to ring in the New Year!
We watched “New Year’s Rockin’ Eve” and celebrated the New Year with the usual champagne toast and a kiss from your sweetie.
We hoped to be home and in bed early because we had to be up early the next morning, but we didn’t accomplish that. We were pretty tired New Year’s day, but we still ate a big serving of my dad’s sauerkraut to ensure a prosperous New Year. The kraut we ate was the batch I started in October, it was really really tasty! I was too tired to take any photos of our New Year’s Day celebration (this one was from leftovers we had for lunch yesterday).
Overall it was a great weekend of celebration, I spent all day yesterday sitting on the couch with a good book and cup of tea because I was so tired from the late nights followed by early mornings and all-day activities.
I’m happy that the holiday season is over so I can get back to my normal quiet life at home.
Did you do anything fun this weekend to ring in the New Year?

Happy New Year!
Hope you had a great time ringing in the New Year last night!
We didn’t get home till 2 and were up early to head off to my mom & dad’s house for a little sauerkraut. More from our festivities later.
