Goodbye 2012! Hello 2013!

I've never been so excited for the new year until now. It's like I'm a little kid looking forward to what's in store for me. Yeah, 2013 please be good to me, please?

As usual, New Year's Eve is celebrated at my side of the family. Tapioca and I prepared everything we will bring from food, firecrackers and the booze.

 fruit basket, pista ham, quezo de belo,slice bread and . . .

Yeah, you read it right. It says Pista ham on the label LOL!

 jagermeister! 

Tapioca bought it because of the cool packaging (with test tube shots and all that jazz) and he hasn't tried this one yet. But after trying one shot he swore never to drink it again. He said it tasted like cough syrup. Yuck!

. . . assorted fire works

Tapioca made his Christmas ham. A recipe he learned from his Mom. We served this during one of the parties and it was a hit.

Together with the ham, we also had pesto pasta. Pesto seems to be the trend this holiday.

Year 2012 was a combination of bad and good memories. We lost some, we gained some. But what's important is we never lose hope. Here's hoping for a better year ahead and more good memories to keep. Happy new year everyone!
