Ryan Seacrest wasn't the only one rockin' in 2011. The Hufford house was in full swing LONG before New Yorkers even started. (Yes, I'm rather upset at New York for not starting their party until 11:30 but that is a whole other story).
Anyway, we started our own party on time and had a blast doing it. I must admit, our party was thrown together due to a last minute cancellation of our wonderful hostess who was under the weather w/her little family. I guess it just goes to show, a party can still be fun with random food, no decorations, and dishes that were hardly matching. Luckily our guests were all family so there was no need to impress....they have to like us anyway ;-).
We started the festivities and dined on delicious food. Cheeseball and crackers, veggie tray, pigs in a blanket, pop, and candy & treats. We won't mention my contribution of pork and beans. A new recipe that really left me disappointed. :(
Addison loved having cousin Dave over to play but mostly enjoyed mooching food off of Aunt Josie and Grandma Jean's plates. Apparently it tasted much better than her own plate.
The real fun started once we busted out Rock Band 2 and worked our mojo. I never knew how much mojo Papa Joe and Mama Jean had! ;-) We ended the night early with a couple rounds of Buzz Word and all went to our own own homes and beds to ring in the actual new year. Thanks for the fun family!! Glad to know I married into a family that knows how to get their groove on! Even if it does take a few minutes to warm up to the idea. ;-)
Josie and Bart on guitar, John on drums, and Joe bringing it all together with an impressive rendition of "Burnin' Ring of Fire."
Addison and David were our little "Go-Go Dancers." If anyone in the family has rhythm...these two do!
And Mama Jean wrapping up the evening singing "Hit Me With Your Best Shot." She sounded great, even sporting her pre-bronchitis symptoms! ;-)
