Happy New Year ...

December 31, 2016

The last day of the year ... turned out to be a beautiful day to go for a hike ...

strapping on the snowshoes and ventured off into the field and the woods ...

The sun was shining ... and the snow glistened in its light ...

loved seeing all the animal tracks in the snow ...

and there was one large rabbit somewhere on this path ... hopping around ...

Thought it was amazing how much snow was on the roof ...

of the bluebird house ...

It was time to head back to the house ...

and start getting ready for our ...

New Year's Eve celebration ...

We spent the evening with our friends ... at the St. Eugene Mission Golf & Casino Resort ...

enjoying a wonderful buffet dinner ... then going to the casino ...

trying out our luck on the slot machines ... dancing to the music ...

and gathering with our friends ... with all our fancy hats ... party favours and champagne ... counting down the seconds as we rung in the New Year of 2017 ... !!!

We continued to play in the casino ...

throughout to the wee hours with a few of us were coming out winners ...

before heading to our rooms ...

This was a wonderful New Year's Eve event package ...

we were able to spend the last day of the year ...

and the first day of the year with our friends ...

Hope everyone had a very Happy New Year ... !!!
