NYE Celebrations!

The final post on 2014…hard to believe the year is over and we’re basically a week into 2015.

As has been our tradition the last 3 years, we closed out the year by attending The Avett Brothers concert. They are only my favorite. band. ever.

But before we headed to the concert, we had a mediocre pot roast dinner with the children and Mimi. The roast was mediocre, not the company! Then Jon and Elizabeth stopped by and we all headed out to meet Jon’s brother and his wife, Jeff and Anna, at a local restaurant. They all had dinner while Matt and I enjoyed appetizers and drinks. At this point, I’ve had way too much food!!

Our “family”….

We had AWESOME seats this year, which was very redeeming after last year’s bad seats and bad seat neighbors! We were on the 4th row on the side and had a great view. Get this, the band members entered the stage via the crowd this year. Joe Kwon came down to the floor on the aisle like 6 seats away from me. Even better, Seth entered on the floor 4 rows in front of us!!!!! Elizabeth and I shrieked like pre-teenagers who had just seen Justin Bieber. Wait, is he even still popular?

I didn’t have my phone out but Elizabeth did capture this pic of Seth as he walked by.

What was awesome about this year is we had good enough seats that we got to play with all the balloons during the midnight balloon drop!!

We met a couple in front us while waiting for the show to start. They were a little older than us…I think they had kids in their 20’s. Anyway, they called this their “mid-life rock and roll crisis” as this was their 22nd TAB show in a fairly small window of time. They had traveled from Ohio for the show and they were just as nice as they could be. I also ended up sitting behind a former colleague and a few rows in front of an old college friend. Evidently we were also sitting in front of Elizabeth’s cousin’s friends because we were in the background of their Facebook photos! Small world!!

Not sure where TAB will be on 12/31/15 but I can promise you this guy and I will try our hardest to be there with them!
