Cousins Dinner 2016

January 1, 2017 by ChrissyJee 1 Comment

Cousins DinnerThis year my brother hosted Cousins Dinner on New Year’s Eve.  My cousins don’t all live close so I very much look forward to this time with them eating comfort food and drinking champagne.

Cousins DinnerI brought a crudités plate and cut heaping piles of vegetables to help counter-balance the fried chicken for dinner.  I also brought Cheetos because it is our party food must-have.

Cousins DinnerWe all had a champagne bottle (or two) of our own to drink.

Cousins DinnerThe night starts out with lots of time catching up.  My cousin Karyn (on the left) came in for the holidays from California.  My cousin Cheryl (on the other side of me) dyed the bottom of her hair purple.  So cool.

Cousins DinnerMy cousin James is on the left.  We called him James-y growing up and now we call him J-Poo.

Cousins DinnerMy cousin Karyn is a newlywed and this is her husband Josh.

Cousins DinnerThis is my cousin Artie and his girlfriend Nadya.  She lives in Russia.

Cousins DinnerNadya made a Russian salad for our dinner.

Cousins DinnerThis is Grouchy Husband.  He thinks my cousins are crazy but wouldn’t think of missing Cousins Dinner.

Cousins DinnerDinner is A LOT of eating and drinking.

Cousins DinnerLots of story-telling.

Cousins DinnerLots and lots of laughing.

Cousins DinnerAnd more laughing.

Cousins DinnerThen things start to get silly.

Cousins DinnerAnd our pictures get a little off balance.

Cousins DinnerThen things get a little crazier.

Cheers to family, health, and fun,
