A Happy Little New Year to You!

Hope you ring in the New Year in the fashion that you love.

I love our little family celebrations. We will be playing Rock Band, Taboo, wearing disco ball headbands and making lots of noise with vintage noisemakers and poppers at midnight (although the family just asked if we can get the New York time celebration, we might be making lots of noise at 9pm!)

My cute hubby made a ham the other day so that we could just go and cut some when we were hungry and mom and I wouldn't have to worry about cooking. How thoughtful is that? It was very handy.

Well, we made 2 easy peasey sandwiches tonite...just out of our heads that turned out well so I thought I would share them with you.

1 c. cooked ham diced

1/3 of a package of cream cheese

1 loaf Bridgeford bread dough defrosted

Mom and I made these up to use up some of the ham and were really happy about how they turned out so I thought I would share them. We made it a fun appetizer type meal for the special night and had 2 kinds of chicken wings, a pesto tomato flatbread from Trader Joes, Veggies and dip...Simple and Fun!

Hope you have a wonderful Night!

I am almost to my 100th post so I need to think up a special giveaway soon!
