As has been the tradition over the past few years, I thought I’d document the day in time. Also a big tradition around here, the BOY and I enjoying a quiet NYE night in with seafood and champagne (and Indiana basketball).

Yup…it’s those 2007 glasses again : ) 8th year in a row!
At one point during dinner, the BOY and I went through and named all 8 of the NYE’s that we’ve spent together. It really is a beautiful and fun tradition!
Happy Hump Day New Years!
Love this!! Fun day!! That is so awesome that you are still using the same glasses since 2007!! What a great tradition!! Happy NYE!!!
Happy first day of 2014!
Happy New Year! Love the day, and love your tradition to recall the NYEs spent together!
Scallops are hands down my favourite seafood. They look divine!
I got let out of work early yesterday and took a three hour nap- oops!
That sounds wonderful! I hope to squeeze in one of those today. We both agreed that we like scallops the best too!!! Happy New Years Day!
Happy New Year! Sounds like a great evening. You go girl (winning at Mario). I am so bad at those games! We have been using the Wii Fit a lot more lately.
We dont have Wii fit but I know a lot of people who love it! Happy New Year to you too!
Perfect way to ring in 2014! And, lobster + scallops?! Even better🙂 happy new year, friend!
I know…quite luxurious : ) Hope you had a great mid week celebration as well!
Happy New Year, Jen!! Your night in looks fabulous. NYE sneaks up on me and I usually scramble for last minute plans. It’d be a lot less stressful if I took your lead and enjoyed the night at home (including lobster and scallops :))
That is totally the way to do it! Even better would be having some neighbors swing by but everyone we know lives too far away!
[…] and to pick up our house. And of course watch the Indiana game. I decided to stray from my blog tradition of years past because the BOY and I hosted my best friend and her husband for dinner and a NYE […]
