We hosted a small gathering at our place tonight for some of our friends in the Bellevue area. We called it our "New Year's Eve East Coast" Party. Meaning, we'd ring in the new year at 9:00 PST so we could all be in bed before midnight. (except for John and Gina, who had another party to go to - oh, those kids!)
Just for fun, Dick suggested that we all dress up. He loves dressing up, and I have a lot of cute dresses in my closet that I don't have enough occasion to wear. Everyone was very good natured about it, and looked fantastic!
It was SUPER fun!! Reeves and Paula brought, and shucked oysters, which was an amazing appetizer!
To make things super easy, I ordered food yesterday to be delivered this evening. We have a great restaurant named Wild Ginger in our building, and they deliver to our apartments. The food was terrific, and it worked out great! I love that we didn't have to cook, or even go out to get the food.
Martin and Celeste brought Champagne and Danish treats, and Gina and John brought mini cupcakes from Trophy.
Everyone stayed until 10:30 or so, which means we were up way past East Coast midnight. :)
appetizers: pepper salami, wasabe chedder cheese (who knew?) and oysters!
