Our wonderful neighbors have started a tradition of a progressive dinner on New Years Eve. With the houses still beautifully decorated for the holidays, and all within walking distance of home, it is the perfect way to spend the evening.
Everyone pitched in with appetizers and sides, while our wonderful first hosts prepared a fabulous dinner of beef filet, baked potatoes and asparagus.
One of our neighbors brought some sparkly vodka jello shots. They were a hit with everyone!
And then for dessert, another neighbor brought these amazing chocolate brownie, ice cream New Year Globes to our final house. They were beautiful and so tasty!
We have a great neighborhood with very fun people. There were only 10 of us together for New Years, but it was such a good time.
After ringing in the new year and enjoying some great karaoke, we all called it a night, and walked home for a good night's sleep.
On New Years Day for lunch, we had our customary black eyed peas to bring us good luck for the new year. It's a tradition that I had never heard of before I married Steve, but now it's a must! I have to admit that we don't eat them throughout the year, but I have looked forward to them every year for the last 31 years.
We had a great time at our neighborhood get together. It gave us a chance to catch up and enjoy a fun and relaxed evening with no driving involved. We hope all of you found the perfect way to ring in the new year as well. Happy 2017!
