Steak and Lobster Night

Every year we have a special night with our family and some very close friends. We have a huge feast of steak and lobster....hence the name
"Steak and Lobster Night"
(I know....very creative)

This year we had some "newbies" come join us.
This is Amy and Tucyr.

And of course Felicity was there to steal the show.

And a picture of me and my baby....yikes! How does that happen?

Kylee always makes a haul in the presents category.

We even got a family picture with these three. Our bestest neighbors and friends.

After about 10 shots, this was the best family picture we got.
Not bad!

Time to drop the lobster in. Brian actually picked them up on the east coast when he was just out there. They were alive when he got them but he put them in his trailer of his semi and they froze overnight. He had to clean them up and he ended up bring home just the tails and the claws. That's okay, I didn't really want to look into the eyes of those things anyway.

Then the steaks went on. They were huge! We had Charlie (Casey's dad) to do the grillin'.

Lesson: If you leave the lobster boiling and aren't watching them, they will boil over!

Daddy and Mommy to be just hanging out while the feast is being cooked.

Amy with her "other" half, Jason.

The lobster is in and Brian was kind enough to break open the tails for some of us since it is such a messy job.

YYYYUUUUUMMMMMM

The feast is over and the dishes are almost done. We stopped for a quick pose.

And of course a quick game of golf on the Wii.

And what do you do with a new pack for hunting out west? You put your 16 month old daughter on it for a ride.

It was a great night as always. Bellies were full and hearts were happy.

  10. What a great evening. I love to grilled but during the winter I don't want to deal with it. I think after reading about your dinner party I'm going to shovel out my grill and have a party.

    Have a great New Years.
