Christmas 2010

We took an extended trip home to the States to visit friends and family for a few weeks.  We were both lucky enough to be able to work out of our NYC offices for one of those weeks so we spent our nights running around the city and visiting our favorite people.  Mark and Jen were nice enough to put us up for the full week in their beautiful new pad.  We started the visit by having our annual Christmas dinner with Matt's friends at Angelo Maxie's.  Matt held up his end of a bet with Mark and wore a full Santa suit out that night....and yes, Molly even sat next to him. 

The next day we started off by spending time with Anupa, Ian, Evan and Lena.  We then took a trip to NJ to visit Ryan, Bern and Julia Flood then hopped over to the Fitz's to see Andrew, Christine and Jack.  We rushed back to the city for Marcy's annual Christmas party at Choice where we danced until they told us we had to leave.  It was a long but great day!  The rest of the week was spent seeing friends for dinner and drinks - it was a whirlwind but certainly worth it.  Since we're working off of 2 computers, these are the pics we have from the week but there will be more to come! 

 Matt went from NYC to Courtney's new house in Virginia to see Nicholas get baptized on the George H.W. Bush carrier.  Molly spent time with her family and took her annual trip to the city to see Driving Miss Daisy with Aunt Kate, Kristin and Katie.  Matt then flew up to NJ for "martini night" with the Dwyer crew so he could meet a few people in the extended family for the first time. The next day we drove out to Southampton.  We spent some time with Queenie which is always special and met up with Matt's whole family at the house. We also got to meet the latest edition to the Gilmartin family, Charlie who is as adorable as his pictures. He was also baptized while Matt was home - making Matt the Godfather to both little guys!

 We separated for Christmas Eve and Christmas Day to spend time alone with our familes. Our initial flight back to London was cancelled due to the 2 feet of snow that hit the northeast but we were able to fly out the next night in time for our New Year's Eve holiday away - more to come on that!
