What would New Year's Eve be without a party hosted by the Staceys? This year along with Greg's family - the Barlows - we hosted a New Year's Eve gathering in Oakville.
The gathering included myself, Gladys, Cheryl, Greg, Chelsea and Sarah along with Greg's parents Gibby and Lorraine as well as Greg's sister Christine, her husband Lorne, son Zack & his girlfriend Katherine and son Chris. The Staceys include Pat & wife Evelyn, Brian and wife Josie as well as Robert (Bob). Cheryl's good friend Nicole, her mom Karen & her brother Scott and his wife Nikki came too. Our friend Fergy Olver came along with his daughter Carrie and her husband Tim. rounding out the group were Sarah's friends Zoe and Jessica as well as several young carollers who came to the door.
We tried to add a little Newfie flavouring to the gathering as included in the food were some fish cakes, moose soup, moose sausages as well as some newfie hors d'oeuvres which were very popular with our guests. And no Newfie party would be complete without a few swallies and a game of cards. The popular game of the evening was cribbage.
Below are some photos taken throughout the evening by some of the people in attendance. Take a look below and I will provide a little note on each.
To all of you I hope you had a nice Christmas and I wish you all the best for a healthy, happy and prosperous New Year in 2016.
Enjoy
