The other day I was talking on the phone with my mom through our minivanโs Bluetooth thingy. (Did I tell you we got a van?? Weโre โone of thoseโ families now. Third kid. Theyโll do you in guys.)

So my mom and I finish chatting. Bye Karen, bye Mom, conversation over. 30 seconds later I hear someone mumbling and realize itโs my mom, and sheโs just as surprised to hear me. Eventually we realized neither of us had bothered toย hit the end button, expecting the other one to take care of it.ย How lazy can you get??
Easy New Yearโs Eve Appetizers
So how was everyoneโs Christmas?? We had so much fun. I was going to send out a holiday-greeting type post and say Merry Christmas to all of you, but I was having way too much fun hanging out with my family to even find where my computer cord got lost. It was kinda nice to (unintentionally) go off the grid for a little while.
But forget Christmas. Itโs time for New Yearโs Eve! I got together with a few of my favorite blogging friends and put together some recipe ideas for your festivities. I donโt drink alcohol because Iโm LDS, but if you do, there are some pretty looking drinks you canย try out! Happy New Year everyone!

Oh my gosh- these all sound AMAZING! I think Iโm going to try the turkey cocktail meatballs, theyโre an essential to me for starting the New Year right :D
Perfect Kelly! Iโm about to get my healthy-food game on too :) Happy New Year!
I wanna try all of these! Those endive bites look super. I love the combination of creamy cheese with the watery crunch of greens. Wow. Happy New Year, Karen!
Thanks Annie! the crunch really adds a lot! Love those. Happy New Year!
Such a yummy line up! Appetizers and finger foods are my favorite type of food.
