Happy New Year

One great thing about living in the Coventry Community, is the amazing neighbours we have. There are many young couples in our neighbourhood, most with young families.
Our wonderful neighbours - Amy & Doug, Chris & I, Todd & Cassie and Scott & Christina

For new years, we got together with 3 other couples, for a house hopping New Year party. The evening started off at our place, where we had to kick the evening off with some appetisers and cocktails.


Our new dining room table - all ready for the New Years Party.

I made some awesome asparagus tarts, or should I say, my Mom made them, thanks Mom, with tomato and pesto toasties, olives and cheese. The Martguerita's (which I;m a pro at making after Mexico) and wine were flowing.

After everyone was warmed up with cocktails and appetisers, it was time to head off to Scott and Chrissie's place. Some yummy pomegranate martini;s were waiting when we arrived. Chrisie had a game planned, mysterious questions about who's who.

The 3rd leg of the evening saw us all migrate to Doug and Amy's place. After guessing who was who from the interesting list of questions we had to answer, we started on the karaoke. We were all well on our way, so our inhibitions did not stand in our way to show off our singing talents.

After counting in the new year, we continued with a girl / guy duet of Summer nights, and eventually gave up.

The last part of the evening ended at Todd and Cassies place, where the baby sitter was ready to hand all the kids back to their parents (just joking, these kiddies are really cute). After just one more for the road, we all headed back home. Lucky for us, we just walked across the street and after a 30 second walk (-:, got home and into bed at 2am.


My folks and us.

Just another great reason of why we love living in Denver.
