The Holidays Have Begun!

With finals finished I headed down to DC to get a jump start on my holiday season.  I was greeted by this lovely Christmas tree as soon as I walked into the Boy's house.  The best part is I got to sleep on the futon next to the tree - nothing better than the smell of a pine tree.

Then it was off to our Hanukkah/Secret Santa party.  For most of us it was the first time we had ever lit a menorah. We ate some latkes, played the dradle game and jammed out to some holiday tunes.

Emily and Erica also surprised Tini with some birthday cake. 

Saturday was a day of birthday celebrations!  First it was off to El Centro to celebrate Liana's 26th.  Dinner, and the company, were to die for. 

Then it was across town for the second soiree of the evening - Christine's 25th.  The Jersey Crew (minus Matt because he was taking the picture) and lone New Yorker (that would be me) were reunited and dance the night away.
