Breaking In The Front Porch

February 4, 2013 by dailygnome Leave a Comment

With the concrete set we couldn’t wait to celebrate with an impromptu Front Porch Happy Hour with our neighbors. I sent out the word the night before when we realized a February heat wave was hitting Portland (due to break 50 degrees and sunny!). Mojitos, lemonade and hot chocolate on tap.

We missed our neighbors and were so happy for an excuse to break in our front porch.

Happy New Year!

January 3, 2013 by dailygnome 1 Comment

Among the many reasons I couldn’t wait to be back in our home was to host friends once again. We gathered a handful of families for a festive NYE celebration. The theme was post-apocalyptic Mayan featuring ceviche, plenty of guacamole and salsas, quesadillas and the most fabulous pasole on the planet {thanks Toby!}. On tap: palomas, fresh sangria and the drink of the gods. Everyone brought something to the table which was good because we still had lots of unpacking to do!

Fireworks!

A few kids crashed, but most were still standing when the clock struck twelve:

Including our little night owl {bottoms up Hads}. Here’s to a fun, healthy and happy 2013!
