family dinner

NYC

This past holiday week we were fortunate enough to have Crystal parents brave the cold , and journey up from San Antonio to visit. They spent one evening here in Philly before heading up to NYC to see the sites and experience the transit strike. Thankfully the strike ended after two days and they were able to enjoy the beautiful NYC subway system. Pictured are Crystal and here parents on their fist subway and first trip to NY. We enjoyed seeing them again. The first time I had seen them since the wedding!! They finished off there trip with a great meal at Tratorria Vivolo and midnight mass before flying back to warm SA on Christmas day.

Finally a tree

We finally have a Christmas tree. That's right, after 4 Christmas' together in 3 states Crystal and I have gotten our first tree. The rightful place to display all of the ornaments that Crystal has been collecting over the past few years. It definitely puts us further into the holiday mood. The smell of fresh cut pine is a wonderful natural air freshener.
