New Year's Eve fun and the Buckeyes win the Rose Bowl

Talk about being out numbered by kids...when the Mielke's, Zartman's and Spoelstra's got together on New Year's Eve, there were 15 children ranging from 6 months to 14 years and just six of us adults. It was a fun night that ended with me making a traditional Dutch treat called "appelbeignets" (said: apple bun-yeahs)or apple floppen. Basically they are apples that have been pealed, cored, and sliced. Then dipped in a cinnamon batter and deep fried. They are best eaten hot with icing sugar.

Then two days later the Buckeyes were playing in the Rose Bowl. We headed over to the Taylor's and met up with a whole group of people that made the night really fun.

When the game was over Phil Hill, Kristin Taylor Luke Fields and I did the traditional O-H-I-O stance. Go Bucks!
