Happy New Year 2000 from Chicago! Yes, that is how my family and I rang in the new year and century. We were there with dad who was working on a Michael Moschen show (Michael is a juggler).

 Even little KEW, who wasn't quite 1 yet, stayed up until midnight.

I remember very small snippets from this trip. I remember walking passed beautiful shop windows in down town at night. I think I remember the hotel but I could be mixing it up with other memories from when I spent a lot of time in hotels as a young girl.

We stayed in a big, fancy hotel!

I don't think I quite realized why this new year was so special but I still understood it was important for some reason. Now thinking back it was actually really quite amazing!

Here are lots of people sitting in the airport.
They happen to be aunts, uncles, cousins etc from my moms side.

This picture was a particular tricky one to find information about. I think I might have a very vague memory about being there but who knows. After emailing a few of the people in this picture, aunt Kari was the one that remembered the details. This is what uncle Allen sent in response:

"Well Kari has a memory of steel…

She remembers this was in February just before Valentine’s Day. Carol was flying to or from California and had a brief layover in SLC. Since there wasn’t enough time to go to Nanna’s house for a visit, we all came to the airport and had a brief reunion. We had the great BK meal for the party.

You can tell it was pre 911 since we are at the gate."

I thought that last part was a pretty funny observation.

Christmas 2000

I can't remember much and nether can anyone else. I was 4 and KEW was 1. And that is about it!

It was my 4th birthday in 2000 and I adored Pooh Bear. (I still have a soft spot for that little character.) Hence the extravagant cake that mom made. What's even better...we still have those little toys from the cake.
