Having lived in Illinois for seven years, we have made some great friends. One couple has hosted the New Years Eve party for as long as I can remember. Occasionally we travel back to attend, which we did this year. The three days were spent going back and forth between the homes of our friends and having many meals together. We either go to a restaurant or all bring food to one home. We also play games together. This post will show pictures of gifts that they received from one of the couples. So first is the cow gift. J likes to decorate with cows. These were found at a garage sale that we attended with H and D in the Summer. The cow is a serving dish for cookies and moos when you remove one. No sneaking cookies at her house anymore.
Next is the gift of beer, beer and more beer.
Actually the beer was left over from a party H and D had, but since RA loves beer it was a fun gift for her. I will add the she willingly shared with all of us.
C received nuts, nuts, and more nuts. He is the DH of RA so we feasted on beer and nuts. I will add that RA and C were are hosts for the time we were there. The have a house surrounded by trees and have hundreds (at least it looks like it) of birds that eat at their bird feeder. They did not let me get close enough for pictures.
I need to add the picture of the group to show H and D, the giver of cows, beer and nuts.What a great way to start out 2008!
Happy New Year to All.

Looks like a fun time was had by all in spite of the trick nature played with all the snow. Glad you all made it home safe.
that is a FANTASTIC tradition. And the color of various beers - you wouldn't think it but they are quite festive aren't they?
I agree with AinA i love the idea of this tradition. And who doesn't love cows, beers and nuts?
Nuts and Beer what could be better (except wine and cheese maybe or caviar and champagne...but that might get a bit expensive)
