Happy New Year

Happy New Year! We spent New Year’s Eve with our friends Mo and Ali. Oh, and they just got engaged a few weeks ago! Congrats to Mo and Ali….we couldn’t be happier for them and we are so excited for their wedding! So, we went to the B.O.B., also known as the Big Old Building, in downtown Grand Rapids….it is a 4 story restaurant/bar with something different on each floor. We had a yummy progressive dinner (prim rib) and then went to the 3rd floor for a comedy show. Now, I’m no comedy expert, but this guy was f-u-n-n-y. We laughed the entire time and had a blast. After the show we had some drinks at the bar and waited for 2009 to come. We rang in the new year with champagne and balloons.

Here we are…..I really prefer taking pictures outside….but what can you do. Oh, and did I mention it was a balmy 20 degrees???

Jon and Mo….goofing around as usual.

Jon ordered “The Grand River Water” drink for us….the Grand River is a murky river that runs through Grand Rapids….needless to say it lived up to its name…but it was yummy!

Another shot of us….my top is sparkly…

And finally, the boys doing what they do best. Happy 2009!

    Look at all the readers you have……is everyone too shy to leave comments? Maybe you need to have a give-away!!

    Glad you had a good time on New Year’s Eve.

    You guys are really adorable, but my favorite part of this entry is “my top is sparkly.” I immediately enlarged the picture and thought “oh how cute!” We’re such girls!
