New Years Eve 2008

We were so excited to be joined this year by John and Kristy Sargent for New Years Eve! We Love our Sargent friends, and it was such a great time to catch up and hang out together.

We took the train downtown and had a fabulous dinner at the Cheesecake Factory, followed by a FREEZING cold walk to Navy Pier, some FREEZING cold fireworks-watching (and yes, we watched the Family Fireworks at 8:30, not the "real" ones at midnight. we're way too cool for that), another FREEZING cold walk back to the train, and finally warmth and cheesecake at our house as we rang in the New Year in the warmth of our apartment.

There were lots of pictures taken: John and Kristy are glowfaces apparently.
Riding the train, and wondering where Bryan's neck went:
Pretty city lights:
Festivities at Navy Pier:
Sent from Heaven, right when we thought we'd never be warm again:
Here's our stash:
John was quite excited about his cheesecake:Ok, we were all excited:






Thanks Sargents for coming to our house- we love you guys!

Happy 2009!

Michelle, is that you drinking the coffee?! :)

It was kinda sad to be near you and not see the two of you--but I am so glad that it looks like you had a wonderful New Years!

I was thinking the same thing. If there is ever a good time to try a steamy cup of Starbucks, it is a freezing night walking around in Chicago. Now that I have my new Cuisinart thermal grind and brew, I feel I'm am finally keeping up with that Bryan and his great coffee making.
