Chris' Birthday Dinner

Recently I celebrated yet another Birthday and the sad realization I am getting older. To celebrate the occasion we invited the group "The Gang" out to one of our favorite places, Maggiano's Little Italy, for a nice family style dinner. We had a great time and ate way too much food.

I look back over this past year of my life and I am amazed at what has taken place and the progression of everything. I can look back and smile, I am grateful for my family and my friends. Thank you all for a great year.

New York City 2009 Visit

This past January Laura & I traveled up to New Jersey for my Dad's Birthday and to visit with family. We had a great time and it was a nice to spend some one on one time together.

On Saturday we made a trip into the City. My Dad, Laura, & I grabbed the train in New Brunswick and made our way to New York Penn Station. We arrived in the City and made our way up through Times Square and then over to the FOX News Studio.

Next stop was Rockefeller Center to see the Christmas Tree. The Tree was beauiful, this one actually came from Hamilton New Jersey.

Afterwards we made our way further uptown to the World of Disney Store. Shortly upon arriving, we found out Cinderella was going to be visiting. We quickly made our way upstairs and Laura was able to say hello and take some pictures.

At this point we were ready for some food before heading back downtown. The next stop was the M&M World store in Times Square where Laura picked out various crazy colors of M&M's (pink, purple, lavender, & turquiose).

We proceeded to make our way back to Penn Station, grabbing a pretzel for Laura along the way, and hopped the train back to Jersey.


On Sunday we made a trip out to see my sister's & brother-in-law's and Laura's cousins for some ice skating and dinner. The kids had a great time and it was nice having a chance to catch up with my sister's.
