For new years, we headed up to Pete and Luann's new house about an hour north in Door County. It's built up on a hill, way back in the woods. The view is amazing.
However, we do have a little disagreement on the type of house it is. They say a cottage, Dave says a mansion, we say a manttage! Whatever the name ... Wow!

They are understandable very excited about it, hence the strange decision about letting us use it for new years!! But Sean, Dave, Hammond and I headed up at about 2 on Wednesday, arrived, unpacked everything, gave Sean the big tour and started business. Dave made sausage gravy for breakfast the next day and we made 2 and a half MASSIVE pots of chili.
Mel and Bob and Jay arrived soon after for the shortest Clue(do) game ever, dice, the fun game and Lips and Jess arrived just in time to ring in the new year.
The Chili
The next morning there were many sausage products, many waffles and many Advil! Then the others trickled home while Dave and I nursed our hangovers there for one more night.
It twas a great new year, and was one that I'd been pushing for. At one point we'd talked about going home to Ireland for new year but I felt that I wanted to see the year in where I was going to spend it. It was a bit sad and I needed a couple of hugs but the company and the wine helped tons.
The New Year
To all of ye, Happy New Year, and I hope it's the best ever.
