It's New Year's Eve, and for the first time, our family isn't celebrating together - Dad had fly off to the Philippines to visit family. Since Dad isn't here, we aren't hosting our usual New Year's bash. This is the first time we haven't spent New Year's at a party, making the whole scenario even stranger.

Regardless, we Uy kiddos and Mom are having a swell time celebrating with oodles of food, sweets, and of course, plenty of alcoholic concoctions. The four of us (plus Snowball) can party it up just fine.

Mom wanted to make this coffee spiked with Bailey's and Kahlua; she needs the coffee to stay awake til midnight and the liqueur for festivity. Mom also got to try her new Christmas present, a milk frother, and I got to play with Dad's new Christmas present - a really awesome Nikon flash from the kids. These pictures were taken with all the lights off at nighttime- isn't that incredible?! I might have to *borrow* dad's gift, since fighting the sunlight is my constant nemesis in food photography.
As a lazy homebody, I feel perfectly content (and blessed) to spend a quiet New Year's at home in pajamas. All you need is family, a movie, and alcohol to welcome 2015. As mom's tagline goes, "The celebration continues!"

1/2 oz Kahlua
