Tradition | Green Dog Wine

Remember that Ludacris song where he goes: “Whatchu GOT IN THAT BAG?!” I couldn’t help but think that over and over again yesterday as I drove over to my parents for New Years Dinner:

I roll with wine in my purse. What can I say?

Wine in bag, I also made a stop at Starbucks because I definitely didn’t have enough coffee considering the amount of wine I drank the night before: Every year that I remember (that I’ve lived in Cleveland, not been too hung over, or been home for the holidays ) – we’ve always had a pork & sauerkraut dinner with my parents, and my Mom’s parents. I wasn’t about to pass up the offer this year!

There were actually TONS of tasty appetizers because my parents had a rockin’ party on NYE! Me & Teeny Tiny GrannyBrother Timmy, ready for the OSU/Oregon game! GO BUCKS!!!!!!!!!!!!Not sure why the boys got special treatment, but my Dad made some spicy sausage/kraut combo that looked and smelled delicious, but was for “Boys ONLY” – whatever! Green Dog Dad was sportin’ his Buckeye gear too!

The rest of the delicious food: My Dad insisted on sticking his hand in the first photo – so I told him as punishment I was putting it on the blog!

Grandma & Grandpa (words can’t even describe how sweet they are, or how much I love them!) Me and Green Dog Mom being silly with our hoods Want to know the perfect end to a fabulous evening with my loved ones, and a delicious meal? A BUCKEYE WIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Even more cool news I got yesterday? My best friend Meridith got engaged! CONGRATS MERI, I AM SO HAPPY FOR YOU! (Meri is on right, my friend Sarah, on the left, also got engaged a few months ago!! )

What a fun evening! Congrats on the OSU win! The game turned out to be much more exciting than all the pre-game experts thought it would be.

GREAT DINNER!! you have adorable grandparents

Sounds like a nice day. Your grandparents look so young!

hahaha on the rose bowl!! I live in Portland and I have heard zero quacking today!!! You’re killing me with the sauerkraut… I’ve been craving it for days!! YUM

My mom always sticks her hand in my blog shots It’s cute.

Great meal! Happy New Year’s!

We watched football almost all day on Friday as well. Unfortunately our team lost.

First things first, i loovveee Luda!!! hahaha his songs are so silly but awesome. Secondly, although i was very sad that usc was NOT in the rose bowl (a tradition!), I watched it and seriously got the chills when Ohio won!! I prob should have rooted for the pac 10 team but Ohio was just sooo passionate and really deserved it, haaa never thought I’d be one to almost shed a tear over a game!

I, for one, love the way you roll.

i love that your dad is also wearing his pirates gear in that photo!

Not gonna lie, I love that Ludacris song. LOL! “Whatchu got in that BAG?” hahaha. I need to carry wine in my purse too!

Your grandparents are adorable.

Congrats on the win!

Jealous of your sauerkraut! No one likes it but me!

What a great family you have You get togethers look like such fun!

I love sauerkraut, but I don’t think I could get my husband to touch it with a ten foot pole!

I’m actually a Beaver fan since I went to Oregon State for grad school, but I was watching the game with a bunch of Ducks secretly hoping for the Buckeyes to win since the Beavers and the ducks are rivals and I am from upstate NY anyhow! Just don’t tell any of my friends that Go Buckeyes!

you’ve had a seriously wonderful holiday season!!

Yay, we have pork & sauerkraut every year on New Year’s day too!

[...] know I love their River Rouge, so it was nice to get to try some of their other wines, without having to commit to the [...]
