    Is it 2008?

    The past month and a half has gone by in a complete blur. Before the holidays came around, we spent some time in cooking classes, at the theater seeing The Lion King, and throwing a baby shower for Florie. Mid-November crept up and we made our way to Chicago for the beginning of the end of 2007.

    The Friedman's hosted a marvelous Thanksgiving celebration for the two families. It was relaxing, enjoyable and very filling! We had wonderful brunches, drinks at the top of the Hancock building, and a collaborative Thanksgiving feast. Rebecca, Sara and Jennifer took a day to have some sisterly fun (walking and shopping) before heading back to reality. This kick-started the holiday season. We spent Thanksgiving day between Sybil's and Rebecca's Nana's, both enjoyable and filling! It felt good spreading out the festivities this year.

    For the next couple weeks, you could find us at stores around town or celebrating with friends and family. Erin and Vincenzo made it into town. Jay took SPAers around town in a pimped out limo. Sean got a new job. The Kremenak's threw a boys and girls baby shower pizza party. Sara and Scott came into town for some old fashioned fun. Between all that, we celebrated Hannukah four times. You can never have too many latkes!

    Before Christmas, we had one final Hannukah celebration in late December. Pamela won the 3rd annual Frieaxlicher racquetball tournament, per usual. Christmas came and went. It was as busy as ever. We snuck in a birthday dinner for Pamela before Bill and Katie came up from St. Louis to meet Cheddar. We rounded up the year with a New Year's Eve bash.

    The year was full of fun and excitement. It was wonderful to see everyone and celebrate. We're now looking forward to some downtime before the big trip to Guatemala! Until then, you can check out more of our Thanksgiving, SPA Limo and New Year's Eve pictures online.
