Out with the Old, In with the New ~Here's How We Celebrated the Holiday

This is not the first time that we stayed in 

to celebrate New Years Eve.

Our newest holiday tradition is to treat ourselves to lobster.

Hubby has perfected his process...

he pours a half a bottle of a stout beer 

in with the water in the bottom of our steamer.

The Lobster Tails are delicious.

I prepared the Hasselback Potatoes and a salad.

We did, however, celebrate with friends the evening before.

I thought you might enjoy seeing some of their lovely Christmas decorations.

This handmade wreath was created by our hostess.

What a great way to use those wine bottle corks 

that you all have been saving!

And then on their tree, Wendy has a 

delightful collection of birds.

This one is so much fun!

We enjoyed great conversation...

good pizza from Roma Ristorante Italiano.

and a little glass of bubbly to end the evening.

Whether you were out and about,

or relaxing at home,

I hope you had a great start to 

2017

Take care,

~Natalie
