Starting the new year in sparkles!

Hello 2012!

It's 2012! Can you believe it? I have always felt that NYE is entirely overrated, but I can say that last night I had a perfect NYE! Dave (my sweet boyfriend) took me to a yummy restaurant downtown called Caffe Luna.

I had always wanted to try Caffe Luna, so I was very excited when Dave told me he had made reservations there. If you love Italian, this is the place for you. I had the penne caprese and Dave had one of their seafood pasta dishes. Mine was amaze. He said he was too, but I'll just take his word for it...I'm not a big seafood fan! The atmosphere is so quaint and lovely. Such a wonderful date restaurant!

After dinner we went back to his place where we waited for our friends Megan and Matt to come ring in the new year with us! In preparation for our guests I decided to make a few treats to snack on throughout the night. I may have gone a little overboard...

We had hershey kiss cookies, pigs in a blanket, cupcakes, cake pops, corn dip (I will have to share this recipe soon...you will thank me later) and meatballs. YUM!

This is Megan and her husband Matt! Aren't they adorable?

Me and Megs in our sparkly dresses! I love her!

We had such a fun night! The boys played guitar hero while we talked, and then we all engaged in a game of Buzz Word. This game is seriously fun. I got mine at Target. It's a perfect game for four people. We did girls against guys which got super competitive. The boys came out on top in the end, but will we get them next time!

When 11:50 rolled around we turned on Dick Clark's Rockin' New Years Eve with Ryan Seacrest to watch the ball drop. (Does anyone else thing Dick Clark should retire or is it just me?) Once the 10 second mark came we all began the countdown together.

I loved bringing in the New Year with my favorite guy and 2 of our best friends! 2011 went by so quickly! Overall, 2011 was a great year for me...but I have a feeling 2012 is going to be even better!


Happy New Year everyone! Hoping your 2012 is filled with lots of love and happiness, but most of all, queen things!
