a person in 28 photos in 2017 ellen showing 2017 only · show all years We played a nerdy game I like called The Quiet Year... ...and we drove out to Gurj & Jared's lakehouse to bring in the New Year! After working up an appetite, we headed over to the nearby Cheesecake Factory for dinner. Fried Macaroni & Cheese balls. Mmmm. This was so much fun and so much more difficult than I thought it would be. Definitely would like to do it again! ...meet up with Ellen and go INDOOR SKYDIVING! Small dog party! Excellent Sunday hang. ...getting to rest her face on Meredith & Ellen AT THE SAME TIME. On the drive back to NYC we stopped off to visit Ellen & Hans! <3 There's always that one person... I kind of love all these pics. Late night somehow the bag... Love all these ladies. Birthday gang! ( Oh man, I'm writing this 4.5 years later in late December of 2021 in the midst of the Omicron wave of covid and seeing all these people I love in one place makes me long for this to all be over and to be in a room with so many people I love again.) Lizzy was there and brought over my copy of her book so she could sign it for me! Thanks, Lizzy! Congrats on the book! <3 ...for a big gang hang brunch! Ellen took us for a nice long hike along the trails behind their house! Double doggies! ...with Matt to visit Ellen! ...where we were treated to an indoor fire and a giant hot loaf of Hans' famous homemade bread with MANY CHEESES. Ellen & Hans we LOVE YOU. I'm writing this in January of 2021 in the post-Covid era and it's nice to see all these people just chillen in a room. This camera sort of sucked in low light. Cell phones were eating away at the camera market and they started putting in cheaper light-sensing chips! Anyway, still sort of love the pics! We love you, Ellen! <3 Make a wish! ...sing Happy Birthday to Ellen! ...Ellen's birthday (a few days early).
