We decided to spend New Year's Eve this year as a family and so Patrick and Margaux picked me up from work and we headed to the Lincoln Park Zoo's Zoolights. It was really very pretty, but it was f-f-f-freezing last night and so we didn't stay long! We checked out the lights, visited the penquin house, watched some ice sculptors at work and then let Margaux pick something from the souvenir shop...it was of course, another stuffed monkey! As we were driving though the city on the way home we caught the end of the early fireworks at Navy Pier and had fun seeing all of the NYE celebrants out and about. The city was so alive! It prompted us to reminisce and laugh about some of our old NYE escapades...Jodi wearing a toilet seat around her neck on the CTA penny ride, partying with Tera and James at Emmet's Pub and having James cut my boot off me when the zipper "got stuck" (i.e., I was too tipsy to work the zipper!), Sarah and the Mason/Ferris boys coming down and paying strangers we met at a gas station to drive us home due to lack of cabs...always crazy fun and sub-zero temps!!! Good times. So anyway, we went home and enjoyed a yummy fondue dinner and wine and we watched the ball drop in Time Square; I loved that when I was little! Today is cold again, but oh so sunny and beautiful. Looking forward to Patrick's black-eyed peas and 'kraut! Wishing all of you a blessed, happy, healthy, prosperous 2010!!!
