Happy New Year!

This new years was pretty low key b/c the following day was the winter classic. We didn't want to go all out and we all just wanted to be together, so a group of us (Garry, Robyn, Sara, and Chuck and I) had some dinner at Chuck's house and then headed to Durkins (a frequent watering hole for us) Brian and Bree also showed up to celebrate (Brian is the brother of Garry's roommate) It was a great set up at Durkins and not too busy, not too crowded and good music!

Oh and note: This was my first year to celebrate NYE in Chicao which is in CST, so I learned you basically celebrate it twice (for EST and CST) We watch the ball drop in NY and then they also have a countdown in Chicago. My grandparents always call me on New Years at midnight or I call them and this year they were kind and sweet enough to stay about until 1EST just to wish me a Happy New Year at midnight CST. That was the cutest thing ever and I was so happy that they did that!

Here are some pics from ringing in the new year.
