We went to New York for Christmas. Tom and I had decided we were going to stay home for the holiday. Yeah right. I got all weepy about being "alone" and insisted that we go to New York. The best part of the trip was the Baby Cousins Playdate. It was so much fun. From left to right - Sophia, Brooke, Caitlyn, Jake, Andrew & Hailey. Adelina and Joey not pictured!
After the playdate, we went over to Uncle Dave and Aunt Laura's house to meet Chloe. She is so small. Both Tom and I have already forgotten how to hold a little baby. She is so sweet and cute that I can hardly stand it. Later that night we had a "big" cousins playdate. Everyone was already home (except Sam's Matt who arrived the next day) and we had a great time at Dave & Buster's.
Spoiler alert: You can't tell from this picture, and we didn't know it at the time but GILLIAN IS PREGNANT. More on this later.
So, on to Christmas Eve at Uncle Dominic's house. It was great. There were a bazillion people there. The kiddos looked soooo cute in their Christmas outfits. They sat and ate like big kids. In the picture below, Sophie is eating broccoli with lemon. She loved it, but made this face with every bite!
The present madness that had started at home (where Grandma Eison had sent Christmas presents and Bubbe sent Chanukah presents) continued at Uncle Dom's. Oye! These kids are S-P-O-I-L-E-D.
Christmas Day was great but not really what I expected. We celebrated at Grandma B's because that is where we stayed. So no one really arrived until noonish. And there was no Christmas tree at Grandma B's. But there were piles and piles of presents. I really don't think I will ever have to buy clothes for these children.
The gift melee was followed by Christmas dinner with the whole clan at Aunt Sue's house. Again, all I can say is CUTE (oh, and SPOILED, more presents at Aunt Sue's).
