Take a look at the comics in .pdf format for a quick synopsis!
The evening starts at 6:00 pm with social hour and appetizers including hand passed tempura shrimp and watermelon cubes with blue cheese plus an appetizer station with baked brie and lamb chops.
The dinner service features a choice of 8 oz. fillet center cut with scalloped potatoes and carrots, Alaskan halibut with citrus butter, scalloped potatoes and carrots, or a vegan option of butternut squash ravioli with roasted tomatoes and carrots.
Top it off with a chocolate parfait for dessert.
And of course, a champagne toast at midnight (New York time) and a DJ to keep you on your feet.
Robin fixed a champagne drink with edible gold flakes!
Here's to ya!
"'Out with the old, in with the new' is a fitting expression for a holiday that is based on vomiting."
The "Clink" heard around the world!
I'm planning to learn how to cook—microwaving counts, right?
Dig that coat!
The chauffeur looks better than his passengers!
Resolved: If I can't say something nice, I'll say it with impeccable sarcasm.
Dressed to the Nine's!
Lead us to the table gentlemen!
It's going to be a BLAST!!!
Why make resolutions when you can make sarcastic comments instead?
We will make sure it doesn't get too wild!
...and we know which one is which!
The kids were sparkling tonight!
The kids were sparkling tonight—I'm pretty sure they got into my craft supplies! If you see a glitter trail leading to the cookie jar, just know that they were there!
Mary was chatting with the Collier's so.....
I'm a little bit older, a little bit wiser, a little bit rounder, but still none the wiser
Mary chatters away!
We have the best seat on the house... away from the speakers and a good view of the room!
We look pretty goof for being 152 years old!
Don't ask; don't tell!
Oh my... glasses everywhere!!
Stir the eggnog, lift the toddy, Happy New Year, everybody.
Ed gets ready for his best shot!!
"In 2025, I'm rewriting the rules—step one: always have snacks for the journey.
At the top of the table and ready to celebrate!
The gaggle gathers!
Bring on the New Year, we are NOT afraid!!
All of us (Except the Camera Person using her GOOD camera)!!
Love the hat Bob!
Perfect pose!!
We enjoy people enjoying!
"An optimist stays up until midnight to see the new year in. A pessimist stays up to make sure the old year leaves.
Looks pretty amazing for being 98 years young!!!
Will and Yolie are about to hit the floor... dancing that is!
Vicky and Jim are quite dapper this evening!
They await the music to slow a bit!
Sandee and Larry Collier sat next to us.
The meal is about to arrive!
Ed and Betty are decorated to the evening.
May all your troubles last as long as your New Year's resolutions.
The wine awaits.
Bob and Donna make a cute couple!
"We is ready to partee!!"
Irene looks amazing and she was out dancing with Bob and I
Turn back the clock!!
Speaking about cute!!
The fillet was perfect and the accompaniments right on!
Now there are more overweight people in America than average-weight people. So overweight people are now average … which means, you have met your New Year's resolution.
We all had a wonderful time!
Making a Grand Entrance!
Mike has the wave down perfectly!!
"Lets get to the dance floor!!"
Swirl and twirl! The look amazing this evening!
Around and around she goes!
Where Mike is, nobody knows!
"One more turn, please!!"
Speaking of dancing!!
My New Year's resolution was to stop saying, 'You go, girl' to myself.
Bob has his special dance shoes on, they are high heels!
"I wanna dance!!"
"But, my hat doesn't fit!!"
Perhaps a little super glue might work!
The Robin pose!
Hanging with pops!!
Where is Mary? Oops, she has the camera!
Thumbs up!!
Penny for their thoughts!
"New Year's resolution: 1. To refrain from saying witty, unkind things, unless they are really witty and irreparably damaging. 2. To tolerate fools more gladly, provided this does not encourage them to take up more of my time.
98 years young! Wow!!!
The 90 years old servers the 98 years old! That 188 years right there!
Someone is happy!!
Blow them candles out baby!
"I can do it, I can!!"
"Someone catch her teeth!!!"
"I got it!!!"
No need, Iris has her own teeth!!!
Wishing you a New Year as awesome as your Wi-Fi signal—which is surprisingly strong.
"G-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-r; me thinks it is time to go home!!"
Everyone needs a label!
Where are the thumbtacks???
Wishing you a year full of success, unless it's my turn to win.
On my!!!
Mike and Bridgette!
Bridgette is dreaming again!
May your New Year's resolution to hit the gym result in at least one push-up.
Who? Me?
Friends for years!
Mike is the kid in this picture!
Having fun!
Our standing photographers joins the pictures!
Santa comes to visit the girls!
Someone said, "Show a little leg so, I did!!"
Then I found out what they really meant!
Happy New Year! May your wallet be as full as your Online shopping cart.
Mary checks to see if everything else is in place!
Am I a luck guy or what???
"Gaze into my eyes (even though they are bloodshot!!)"
We sing!
Vicky & Jim were looking good!
Vicky and Yolie should be singing the song, "Sisters"!
Hello New Year, we are ready!!!
What a romantic looking couple!
Happy New Year Everyone!
