For my birthday Kyle took me to see The Mets play at their new stadium. We had the most amazing seats and it was a perfect afternoon for a baseball game. After the game, Kyle and I jumped in the car and drove to Mohegan Sun for the Kenny Chesney concert that night (pictures in the next post).

My sister-in-law Lauren bought me a ticket to see Kenny Chesney at Mohegan Sun for my birthday. This was the first time I've seen him in concert and he was amazing!! I'm officially hooked and already looking for another show to go to.

Amber's family threw her a surprise 30th birthday party over the weekend. However, it didn't turn out to be too much of a surprise because Amber is quite a detective.

NYE - 2008

The secret cool guy hand shake

Trying out the camping chairs (with built-in-coolers) that we got from the Dampeers for Christmas.

Me and Kyle

Andy & Lou at The BOB

I forgot to post pictures of our NYE night with the Dampeers. We went to The B.O.B. in Grand Rapids but after an hour or so decided we would have more fun hanging out in the hotel room. So we watched the ball drop from the mini TV in our room while sitting in our new camping chairs on the bed. Good times.

Kyle and I alternate holidays every year and this year was supposed to be Christmas in Connecticut but about a month before Thanksgiving I got a call from Jason telling me to alter our holiday plans because he and Lindsey were getting married Christmas eve! So, I lucked out and got to see my family 2 Christmas's in a row. It was great being there for Sophia's first Christmas!
