Happy New Year!

This is a late post, but Happy New Year! I had big plans for December, but traveling got the best of me and I ended up running out of time! Then during the holidays, I was very sick (coughing up a lung at my in-laws house in Chicago!) and ended up staying in bed everyday until we flew back to New York in January. Luckily, I’m all better now (thank you, antibiotics and lots of rest) and I’m ready to start 2014! But first, a few photos from our December in New York and Chicago!

Ken and I exchanged gifts in New York the night before flying to Chicago to be with our families:

Celebrating our first Christmas together as a married couple at Babbo, where we shared way too much delicious food:

Me and my niece on Christmas evening before we opened up our family gifts – we’re also with her pet owl that she got for Christmas from Santa:

Making dumplings (which is becoming a New Year’s Eve tradition with my mom) in Chicago:

And spending lots of time indoors, not only because I was sick, but because it snowed over 9 inches while we were there!:

It was a relaxing December and now we’re ready to tackle 2014!
