Christ­mas & New Year’s Eve 2009

Brian and I spent Christ­mas in Cleve­land this year with my fam­ily. We went to my sister’s on Christ­mas day for brunch and to check out all the toys that Santa brought the boys. Then my mom made Christ­mas din­ner for the fam­ily at my par­ents house. Christ­mas was nice and Lucy got to play in all the snow that Cleve­land got before we arrived.

The day after Christ­mas I had my 10 year high school reunion down­town at The Cleve­lander. Before­hand we met Danielle, Louie, Jess, Denon and Mike for din­ner at Pick­wick and Frolic. It was great to see everyone!

The day after the reunion we packed up and headed to Vir­ginia to visit Brian’s par­ents. While there we went to The National Archives and saw the Terra Cotta Sol­diers. We also enjoyed some great din­ners while there.

We headed back to Cleve­land on the 30th and spent the night and then headed back to Chicago on New Year’s Eve. Lucy did very well with her long trip but was very happy to finally get home on New Year’s Eve. It was a long trip but it was great to spend time with our fam­ily and friends over the holidays!

For New Year’s Eve Brian and I went to 33 Club in Old Town and enjoyed a deli­cious din­ner. We stayed until the ball dropped and had some cham­pagne to cel­e­brate! We then came home to spend the rest of the night with our pup. Happy 2010 to everyone!
