But this didn't necessarily mean we were going to have a boring New Year's Eve.
I always seem to have a little festivity up my sleeve. ;-)
I surprised him by creating a restaurant in my own dining room.
We dressed up as if we were going to a fancy restaurant and made fondue together.
It turned out delicious! If you would like the recipe, click here.
This would be a fun and inexpensive date night for Valentine's Day or any other special occasion.

This is a splendid idea. I think I'm going to do this during the warm months as I would love to take photos of our café style enclosed porch. Thanks for the great idea, Jess! Happy New Year to you and the rest of the family! Anita
Jess- What a wonderful night IN. Love it- Hope your New Year is a really great one. How is your uncle Dan? (I think he is your uncle) xo Diana
How creative! I love it. I think you could also do a desert bar with a chocolate fountain. But I love those upside down champagne glass candle holders. So cute!
Love the café theme and fondue. What a great idea.
We always stay in for New Year's Eve. Dinner and a movie has become our favorite choice, Gone with the Wind among our top films, "After all, tomorrow is another day." ;) This year we included When Harry Met Sally which was timed perfectly with the New Year's Eve scene.
Happy New Year, Jess, to you and your loved ones.

Love it, these sort of evenings are always the best. After being married to my hubby for 51 yrs we often have evenings like this, choosing to eat what we would usually eat at our favourite restaurant and we can both have our wine without having to order a taxi, which is not easy where we live, miles away in the country. Happy new year to you and your family.
Hi Sheri (:)
Oh hope your new year is wonderful too
thanks
hugs,Patty

So romantic Jess.
I think you did an excellent job. You both probably enjoyed yourselves better. A little time to yourselves.
wishing you and your boyfriend a happy new year.

Sounds like a fun night.
What a great idea for New Year, safe and intimate to boot!
Wishing each and everyone a Happy New Year!
God bless,
What a wonderful idea - I'm sure it was more delightful than going out where it's crowded, cold food and to loud. Can have a drink and not worry about a DUI. How romantic.
You go girl.....

Wow Jess that’s the best idea ever. I’m finding that going out on new years eve is somewhat overrated so I love this idea. I adore how you went to so much effort with the place cards and the menus and decorations. This sounds perfect.
What a wonderful way to spend the night in and so romantic too :o)
Happy New Year!

Love your creativity. The way you made tea light holders out of your glasses. Perfect. I find your blog encouraging. I always look for other women of faith to share my heart with. I will be following you and hope you'll drop by White Lace and Promises.
Happy New Year!
