Pfoderie: NEW YEARS EVE PARTY

Our fifth annual new years eve party started off great, with some cocktails, hors d'oeuvre, fresh salsa, guacamole and tortilla chips. Also, for the first time we had a 4 course gourmet sit down dinner, everybody seemed to enjoy.

The first 2 hours after dinner where full of fun and laughter. Soon after, our entertainment directors lost control of the party, due to tremendous alcohol consumption. Lets face it, the WII dancing challenge is fun until everybody has had their turn, but after 2 hours it started to get pretty boring.

Full action dancing challenge

So we decided to play a card game, but it took a while to relocate to our playing table down stairs, so some people started to play pool and others gave darts a try. When we finally settled down to play cards it was too much of a challenge. We gave up and played darts for a while but soon we drifted back to the good old dancing challenge to 3:30 in the morning. I guess, I was wrong about the boring part!
