Every year two of my friends, Ivory and Tanya, host a joint birthday party in January. Last year I missed it, but this year I was lucky enough to be in town for the shindig. The party was at a bar in Denver called the Garage; a great place for games, like the ring game and darts- though we only played darts for about five minutes before abandoning the game in favor of the good company.

It was an overwhelming good time- great to see these pretty faces.

This guy's pretty face too! Poor Saquib, I badgered and harassed him into coming out to the bar after a long day of work.

I love how pictures get sillier as people get drunker.

Of course, we can't resist the opportuntiy for a photo shoot.

Aaaannnndddd, it might just kill me to keep my clothes on.

It was so great to get the chance to catch up with so many friends. It made my heart feel so full.
