The last few years have been very exciting in that I have been introduced to several Southern traditions and tonight I got to add another to the list!
Tyler's mom made a delicious New Year's Eve dinner. We had ham, Southern greens, black eyed peas (over a bed of rice and topped with onions and hot sauce) cornbread and spiced peaches.
According to tradition, the black eyed peas bring good luck at New Year's, Southern greens bring prosperity, and the peaches bring good looks year round. Needless to say everyone had plenty of everything!
What would New Year's be without football? It wouldn't be a Rosser New Year's, that's for sure. For anyone who was sad to find out that there were no bowl games today, I am sure their spirits were lifted when they remembered it was Sunday and there was plenty of NFL games to be had.
The Rosser's have a love-hate relationship with the Cowboys. Tyler has predicted that as soon as they stop supporting Planned Parenthood they will win the Superbowl. Until then, it's not a happy few hours in the Rosser household when they play. Although Tyler and his dad are working on having a positive attitude and I think they're doing a great job.
Everyone enjoyed the meal, even our two little ones. Rudy, who is Frannie's uncle, is very patient when Frannie chases him around wanting to play, or when they share each other's food. Overall they are getting along very well together. Tyler's mom is definitely their favorite.
