Winter Vacation Part 1

So far our winter break has been great! We began with a trip to Disney on Ice with the Zals - we weren't too sure how the kids would like it, but they were both pretty mesmerized the whole time - great show! Then we had a very snowy weekend and realized we needed new front tires on the van when we almost didn't make it up the long hilly drive to Speical Meeting. We then had the privilege of having Marilyn and Alicia over for a couple of nights and supper with Lisa and Annalise on Monday night (yep I actually cooked a meal :)). Tuesday morning after breakfast with Marilyn and Alicia we got packed and headed to Buffalo since we heard the weather was supposed to be worse on Wednesday. We surprised Dan and Judy which was fun and then we went out for ice cream (on a snowy wintry night....) This time we stayed with Matt and Nicki and it was so great to see the two little ones playing together. Emma really got a chance to get to know them all and we had a fabulous time including some very late night talks, the 'famous' McCoy Christmas Party, visits to my grandparents and Mike's grandmas, lots of eating out, shopping and a dinner party - what more could you ask for??? Thanks for everything McCoys!!!


Finally finished the bathroom Thanksgiving Weekend so these pics are long overdue


We're very happy with the new look...
