Going back seven or eight years, we always ring in the new year at the Signature Grand in Davie, Florida. The venue is elegant and is set up beautifully as it normally hosts weddings and special events.

This year was no exception. Everything was beautiful. Right down to the centerpieces. Each table was slightly unique.

For my outfit, I wore a dress that I purchased this season in this season’s popular color, burgundy (now on sale!). I love the way it drapes and the pin on the hip sparkles. You can see the shoes and accessories here.

Because we are loyal to this party, we get invited to a VIP champagne reception before the dinner and then have priority seating (love it!). The food was amazing. Our camera was acting up but I did manage to snap a few pictures with my iPhone.

Filet mignon and lobster tail can never go wrong in my book.

And the dessert was so pretty. Fudge lava cake with a macaroon. Yum.  BTW. Calories don’t count on New Year’s Eve.

My choice of beverage for the evening was champagne. I think you can tell from my silly smile that I had several.  My husband was more into martinis and red wine, followed by an Irish coffee. I think you can tell from his eyes that he was feeling no pain.

As usual, we had a wonderful time. I hope you had a wonderful New Year’s Eve.

Today I’ve linked up with the Not Dead Yet blog for Visible Monday. Better late than never!
