Some of you have been asking for pictures from the new house. I keep waiting until we are "finished" with everything and I have come to the realization that probably won't happen for a really long time or maybe not until we get to heaven. So, for now here is a picture of our family room while decorated for Christmas. We snapped the pictures while it was all clean before hosting part of our New Year's Eve progressive dinner. Welcome!
Nick and I love opening our home to others. We feel like the Lord blessed us with this house to share it with others. We hosted the dessert part of our annual New Year's Eve progressive dinner this year. If you want to know how we organize it and how it got started you can read more
here. This was our eighth year and we had close to 65 people which is much bigger than in the years past but super fun! They are mostly church friends but we open it up for people to invite others so it is by no means an exclusive event.
I did not take any pictures during appetizers or the main course stop but here are a few from our house. Drinks were served in the kitchen....
Desserts were served in the fireplace room...
I made a Chocolate Gingerbread-Toffee cake (
recipe here). Great recipe if you are looking for a unique but delicious cake. We also had a cheesecake and red velvet cake.
Nick got the back deck and fire pit ready...
Some of the girls counting down until midnight.
11:58, 11:59, midnight ......Happy New Years everyone!!!

It looks great. Can't wait to come visit. What a fun New Years.
Looks like you guys/gals had so much fun! Glad we participated in an indirect way!!! We had a blast as well; however, welcoming in the New Year was not on our priority list! The kids slept through all the noise around our house....And, such nice pics of your lovely home! So proud of you both! Grammy
