Brad & Emily



This past week Brad & Emily came to visit. Emily's birthday is TODAY, but we all celebrated early with a few evenings in NYC. We had dinner on Wednesday night here in NJ at Nellie's (our favorite pizza place), Thursday we all met up at Union Square and had dinner and most importantly dessert at Max Brenner - Chocolate By The Bald Man, and Friday we hit Virgil's for some local BBQ. I think we probably all vote Max Brenner as the best! The smell as you walk through the doors is AMAZING! Brad would say you could "lick the air"! For dessert Emily & I shared an ice cream bar dipped in chocolate sauce, nuts and chocolate candy. What a great combination! Chris had a Concoction - not sure what all was in it but he basically licked it up! Brad was the brave one. He had the Mexican Hot Chocolate. Yes that is hot chocolate with a pepper kick - weird but he loved it :) In between all the food we had some wonderful conversations and caught up on life. Christmas time is so exciting in NYC! So many decorations to take in and the shops are buzzing. We visited Rockefeller Center to see the Christmas tree - it is beautiful this year! At Union Square we stopped and look at the holiday shops. They are my favorite! The Christmas Season is officially here!

Thanks for a wonderful week guys! We hope to see you again soon!

So great to hear from you!!!! We missed you yesterday at the "reunion". It was really good to see everyone. Your mom brought pics to show us of all of you. We couldn't believe it had been so long since we had seen each other. Grandma and Grandpa really enjoyed seeing all of their "kids".
Can't wait to spend time reading your blog!

Yes, we will be here on the 21st and 27th. That will be so fun!!!!!! We drive in on Sunday mornings and Chris gets us seats while I take the kids to their classes. We have to get there around 9:00 to get a seat in the sanctuary. So, we will save seats for you too! I can't wait!! You are going to love it!!!!!!
