new years!....

since having a child new years has certainly become more tamed for gavin and i. this year we decided to just stay home and have a date night. geryl kept monkey while gavin made a delicious surprise meal! first for the appetizer he made shrimp cocktail with homemade cocktail sauce....YUMMY! then he grilled a delicious bacon wrapped filet with twice baked sweet potatoes and a spinach salad with homemade salad dressing...yummy again! and for dessert....one of his favorite, chocolate covered strawberries....YUMMY!!! after a wonderful dinner we watched football, drank some red wine and he taught me how to play spades....when you get old and married you will appreciate this date more!! at midnight we popped a bottle of champagne and gave each other a new year smooch! it was a great date night and a wonderful start to the new year! (he even cleaned a kitchen after dinner!!!)

below are some photos of my man in the kitchen...
