NYE with friends

New Year's was so fun this year! I got to see so many pals in one night. 

First, Bree called me and said they were at the Canyon's Rail Jam. It was about two feet from our condo so Justin and I ran down to say HI and happy new year! It was freeezing though so we mostly just said that and then let them go warm up in a lodge. So fun to have a surprise visit though. 

Then, one of my Jerusalem BFF texts and says she can hang. We had been trying to get together all week and then it finally happened. I was so excited to meet little Sophie. She did not disappoint. She was smiley and soft and everything I could have hoped for. Also, she was wearing a party dress (gold with sparkles) which was perfect for NYE. I loved seeing Lauren and catching up on the birthing story, the move to Harvard (so glam), and life with a bitty baby. 

The next visitor was a total surprise. We hear a knock at the door and all of a sudden Eric Smith (Ty's bff from BYU) is in our condo! He and his wife stopped by because they were in the area. Eric seriously cracks me up. It made me miss the days of living at the Avenues with Ty and going back and forth between our apartments. Eric always had hilarious stories and interesting dating advice. Wish Ty could have been there to see him! 

Then, finally our actual party guests arrived. We had the Howell's and Trisha and Brent up to party! 

Politics and the Utes are two things Scott and I  don't agree on...
Fireworks crew. Not sure why Utah legalized aerial fireworks this year but these boys took advantage of it

Group photo was taken after I had to head to bed for work. Don't worry though Ash filled in for me :)
