No Place Like Homes for the Holidays -- part 2

As promised, I'm documenting another of my "homes" that I've visited this holiday season.

I've blogged a lot about Grand Rapids, so hopefully you're not tired of hearing about it, but it's entirely necessary to talk about this place, as I've spent a majority of my break here on the west side of the state.

The week before Christmas I arrived in GR for some much needed relaxation time with some of my favorite people, at which time we got a chance to catch up on work, shop for Christmas presents, and celebrate this lady's birthday :)

But a major highlight of Grand Rapids was our New Year's Eve celebration.
The ball drop downtown is a crowded mess around 11:45pm, and I'm glad we spent most of our time at a more intimate house party (where we could actually hear conversation).

Being downtown to ring in the new year was, nonetheless, quite the adventure. Jesse McCartney and Baby Bash performed a free concert! Luckily we were able to snap a few midnight pictures of the festivities.

and another year with these girls

I don't have any specific new year resolutions (except maybe to increase my weekly gym attendance), but if 2013 brings half of the same blessings that 2012 granted me with, I will be very lucky.
HAPPY NEW YEAR!
