New Year's Eve - Par-TAY!!

Well another year has come and gone. In celebration, I spent the night ringing in the New Year at the Rick James residence with some good old fashioned … food, folks, and fun.

After I braved the craptastic weather, which consisted of a frustrating car trip of going 30 MPH on the Highway (stuck behind two snowplows), seeing about 6 cars in the ditch, and a 30 min trip that should have taken 15 mins. I finally arrived at the Rick James for a true celebration.

Let the record show that I brought “homemade – real cooked" food this year to share with all!!!

You see, for the last 2-3 years worth of parties I’ve always been the guy that brings the “Chips and Dip” along with “Cookies” to share. The reason for this is well … I don’t really cook. Every time I get crap for it, so I finally went above and beyond the call of duty and brought LOTS of homemade food. This included: Italian Meatballs, Snickers Salad, a variety of Christmas Cookies, and Carmel Corn. This joined the veritable Old Country Buffet amount of food strewn about the kitchen. There was sooo much good food present, in fact, that well let’s just say I think James had plans to start up his own OCB complete with ice cream sundae and twisty cone machine.

Overall, great times were had. Kudos to James on another party well done. We ate, laughed (a lot), drank (a lot), played games, made fun of Vahn (a lot), danced to Sir Mix-a-Lot and partied till about 3AM in the morning.

Below are a few pics for your viewing pleasure. Otherwise to view all the pics of that fateful night ... click here.

Your "homemade" food was AWESOME! You realize you did so well this time around that everyone will expect this from now on. :)

in the picture of the "over-excited" Corey and Mel...what the heck is Vahn doing to Chris? (Look in the background?) He he he he.

Good point, I didn't realize that before. I'm not sure what Vahn is doing to Chris.

Well I have an idea.
