I really do love these people.  I think I’ve told the story before… my husband and daughter visited NYC a few years ago for my daughter’s 6th birthday, and met these fabulous people at a park, where the kids played and really, truly hit it off.  After saying their goodbyes, they ran into each other again on a NY subway, which is totally ironic….NY subways are pretty big, right? There are so many cars, so many people, and they ran into each other on one.  What are the odds, right?  So…we were meant to be friends.   And I am so glad that we are.

So, this family visits from northern California once or twice a year, and we have our time together.  We actually have a thing…we eat out, we go to the beach, we ice skate, and we do a photo session. I was really excited to get the parents to agree to being in the photos this year, too.

Here are my favorites.

love you guys! xo missy
