a person in 770 photos ellen Ellen came over in the evening... DOGSCARF! Left over pizza for breakfast! We found a fire pit near the barn and got ourselves a nice campfire going. I made my way back to the house... LET THERE BE LIGHT (other than the giant paper globe that Matt was walking around with). I like this photo very much. Jenny and Ellen relaxed... We had ourselves a pizza-party dinner... Still going strong two hours in. Matt had to REGULATE, Warren G style. ...and a whole roomful of people he knew yelled SURPRISE! Snoozing snooches and patterned pants. So good. Hans & Ellen helmeting to depart via Hans' Vespa. (And Piper!) Later that evening, Mer and I went out to Brooklyn for dinner to celebrate... Maddy flopped down next to Ellen to coach her through the burn. I'm alway asking Meredith to walk or kneel on muscle knots in my back and over the years she's gotten real good at it. Ellen had a sore mid-back and so Mer went to work. Ellen came over on Friday evening. That evening Ellen came over to join us for the Mad Men season finale and Grant's puttanesca pasta with garlic bread and salad. Ellen and Hans came by a little before 11am and picked us up! It makes an $8 dollar pizza taste like a $20 pizza! Silent grazing. Look at that smile! So full of pizza and happiness and getting ready to nap out on a dog-pillow! I don't remember if there was a special occasion or if this was just a spring friend hang, but check out the solid Saturday night crew that rolled up into our place! Story time! Ellen came over to get in on the feast. The show-stealer of the evening was most definitely Hans' BRUTAL sunburn. Haha. SUPER HANS! Later, we headed over to B-Side to celebrate! Ellen stopped by at 7am to reunite us with our hound! Thanks so much for watching her, Ellen! Such a nice mid-week catch up! Friend reunion at Apt 3a! Later that night, we had a few people over for a low key hang. Jared & Ellen combo = magic. Never trust a big butt and a smile! Three books deep! Private room at Sing Sing on a Saturday night. Prime time! Ready to head out! On Saturday night a whole bunch of us got together to go out for karaoke! Our groups combined tables and we ordered lots of food. ...for Ellen's birthday breakfast celebration! Happy Brithday, Ellen! Later that evening, Jared & Ellen joined us... ...AND, my personal favorite, BANANA KETCHUP! This stuff is so good on french fries. I think we used-up this bottle in under a month. Haha. On Sunday night Ellen came back from her trip to St. Lucia and came over to our place to claim her nugget! Ellen & Meredith were nice to come along with me. I was feeling a little shy because it's weird to go to a holiday party when you're a consultant and don't really work at the place! Nobody takes a selfie like Jenny! After Saturday's big Halloween night out, on Sunday we went to Lillie's for a Spooky Brunch. New boyfriend: APPROVED! A little after two am we gathered our crew... ...moves! Meredith shows off her final take on Sexy Fireman! Everyone hung out for a bit... A little after ten, Ellen and her NEW BOYFRIEND Hans came over to pre-game. Octoberfest & Sexy Airline Stewardess Odessa brunch! Blueberry blintzes, blueberry muffins... On Sunday Ellen came over! Here she is enthusiastically cheering on Meredith's decision to try to be a... Ellen came over later that evening! We walked the dogs over to Sheen Brothers... And Ellen was telling us about how she was really excited for her second date with some guy named Hans (!!!) that she'd met at the dog park. Later that evening, Matt and Ellen came over to welcome us back home! Yay! Cheese fries! On Wednesday afternoon, Ellen came out to visit and hit the beach! Later that night a bunch of us went over to 3A... Later that evening, we met up with Ellen, Cat and Mark! Caiti, Ellen & Me. Such party professionals! Frosting hands! Ellen and Piper! Holmes is where the Hart is! Ha! Sweet summer roof. Holmes, Hart & Bassi (sounds like a male grooming-products company). ...Rockband? Haha. Later that night, Ellen and Emily came over! Turns out that the Real McCoy Sarah had purple hair! ...Mexican brunch on! Me & Ellen! Ellen doing the Happy Snoopy! Pressing the flesh. Mer & Ellen. Everybody stood up to welcome in... Lucky No. 13. Lollipop table numbers! Make bubbles not rice. YOU GUYS! I JUST MARRIED SOME PEOPLE! The bride can't be late, right? Closer! Alright, give me angry! (Ellen shrugs! Hahah). Auto-timer to get myself in! Balcony shot of everybody all dressed up! Here's Ellen showing off her evening slipper-wear. After arriving at the Kaaterskill Mountain Club, we stopped off at Van Winkle's... ...Ellen stopped off to show us the stable where Emily works with horses! Kiss? It turns out Ellen's animal whispering skills are not limited to chihuahuas! On Saturday morning, we met up with Ellen and Quinn! Good one. Buddies.
