New Years Day 2009

It's official, I am old. So old that we stayed at home and I fell asleep before the ball drop....again.

We had a good night anyway. We made finger foods, such as; ABT's and moink balls. Moink balls were something new that everyone has been going on and on about on the BBQ forum. They are simply frozen meat balls, wrapped in bacon, seasoned with rub and brushed with bbq sauce. Then you smoke them for about 90 minutes to two hours. Too salty for my taste, next time I'd leave out the rub altogether.

Trevor was thrilled to have friends back in the neighborhood after they had all been out of town since Christmas.

But of course, the main attraction was fireworks. We went light this year, forgoing the bigger mortars that we normally do for July 4th and Labor Day (Boomsday).Brett spent the evening with Abbey and her family. He came home and went straight to David's, which is immediately behind our house. Unfortunately, he forgot to TELL anyone he was home so Alexis woke up worried as hell at 4:30 thinking he'd never come home. Nice. Glad I never did anything like that. What? Is that my parents I hear snickering?
