New Year's Eve

For new year's eve I took my Swedish friends to Harry Caray's for dinner. It a great place for new year's eve, they serve a regular menu and you can walk to navy pier afterwards for fireworks. Our dessert was so unique I had to snap a picture with my phone. It was yummy. Chocolate inside of course.

After dinner we walked over to navy pier for fireworks. It had been snowing all day but really wasn't too bad for all the time we spent standing waiting for the fireworks to being.
not bad pictures for a camera phone.

foreign visitors...

This year for Christmas we had some foreign visitors. Tina and Linda. Tina is my friend Anna's sister. Tina's last visit to the states was for Christmas 1993 visiting Anna, who had decided not to go home for the winter break. They flew into the states in time for korv making. Everyone new to my dad's birthday party helps out with the korv. Linda was brave enough to roll up her sleeves and help out. They joined in all our Christmas celebration, including Tina singing at Jullotta. They brought strange gifts, took pictures, ate with us, exercised (at the Museum of Science and Industry), helped prepare dinner and had a jolly time. It was a lot of fun. Hopefully they'll be back.
