Whats For Dinner Next Week New Years Eve Buffet

What a wonderful Christmas we shared with family and friends and we are still enjoying some family that have come to visit for the holidays. We are planning an informal Midnight New Years Eve Buffet for a few friends and family.  After the busy time to prepare for Christmas we are just going to be lazy this week and enjoy the season and I sure hope you can to. Your visits have been so important to us this past year and we look forward to spending time with you in 2012, so lets take a look at how we will welcome 2012!
