Australia Day - Colorado Style


























January 26 is Australia Day, and since it fell on a Monday this year, we celebrated on Saturday the 24th with family, friends (new & old), neighbors and some of Peter's co-workers. In the spirit of the holiday, we asked everyone to dress in "seasonal attire" - easy for us since we didn't have to actually leave the house, but probably not so fun for some at the end of a cold night. Great sports though!

We had Aussie beer & wine, Tim Tams, Crunchies, Maltesers, Curly Wurlys, fruit mince pies w/ custard, vegemite sandwiches, fairy bread and of course, pavlova. We tried to find party pies and know that next year we will have to order early.

I love having parties and love the way our house filled with people from so many different parts of our lives. We are blessed with great friends!
