It's a New Year, 36 bottles of Champagne Later

I love the dawn of the New Year, when we are all over taken with the optimism of fresh starts and convictions. We look forward to the unknown, and dream about the next twelve months. I felt my 2010 New Year's Eve deserved a grand celebration to wash away the dirt of 2009 and ring in a joyful beginning...with lots of champagne.

The Hostesses!

So three of my best friends, Lynn, Jen, Jodi, and I, hosted Glitter Inferno at my house, an epic party that will forever live in our photo albums. 216 sparklers, a glowing punch fountain, homemade snacks , obnoxious noise makers, bubbles, a professional photographer, and magic! Amazing! The exclamations could go on, and I suspect they will through out the year as we plan for 2011.

Here are a few other pics from the infamous Inferno!

The Sexy Buffet

-Fresh Cut Crudite Platter with an Herbed Ranch

-Mashed Potato Stuffed Button Mushrooms wrapped in Bacon (they're hiding in the back corner so people won't eat them)

-Dr. Pepper BBQ Party Meatballs served in Hanne's vintage Crock-Pot

-Pate a la Grant in his fancy terrine with baguette crostinis

The Fireside Lounge

-Brie served with grapes, and sliced baguettes

-Sriracha Deviled Eggs

Jen & I happy in the Sparkler Heart drawn by our friend Paul!

Thanks again to Driskill of Forma Productions for the beautiful photography through out the night!
