To ring in the new year, Dan and I decided to have a little party.

Everyone brought yummy appetizers and desserts and good spirits. There's nothing like celebrating with family and good friends.
It was great fun!

Wishing you a year filled with hope, compassion and inspiration.
My next post will be the list of books I read in 2008. Care to hazard a guess as to how many books I read this past year? (Hint: It was more than in any previous year.)
