New Year's at Rodney and Uli's 2007 --> 2008

Uli and Rodney invited all of us over for New Years and we had a fabulous time. Lots of dancing and special German traditions for New Years, since Uli is German.

New Years in Arlington, VA 2006 --> 2007

Kevin and I organized a lot of our friends to go to Ireland's Four Courts in Arlington for New Years. Also, we kidnapped Ash from Pennsylvania because she said no. We had a lot of weird fun!
