Christmas in NYC

The boys are home. The apartment is cozy. We spent Christmas at home.

The boys welcomed Jo to the family with special gifts. Ethan gave her a calendar with photos of the four of us throughout the year. Samuel gave her a children's book about families.

We decided to venture out that evening to see if anyone else was in the city. Apparently everyone was in Times Square. We had BBQ at Vrigil's, followed by bowling and arcade games at Bowlmor.

Jo and I are signed up for tonight's Midnight Run in Central Park, to kick off 2019.

Happy New Year!

Cleaning out the boys' bedroom

Nice weekend

I took my hot new wife to a holiday party on Friday night. She is soooo beautiful.

Ethan was the coat checker (hired earlier in the week). I forgot to take a pic of him, but he looked good too, only slightly less good-looking than Jo.

Saturday evening we had dinner at a Chinese restaurant in Queens with Jo's cousin and family.

Heaven is watching a 3-year-old eat noodles.

The boys stayed up past their bedtime so we could tell them goodnight. Goodnight tired boys.

Tonight we feasted on Shake Shack amidst Jo's new holiday table decor.

Then Jo and I (along with Bailey and a few neighbors) helped decorate the Christmas tree in our lobby.
