Fort Wayne Visit

We took a trip to Fort Wayne in August and were busy visiting family and going on little adventures.  Lily and Juliet played at Gramps and Mimi's new pond and went to parks, splash pads, and the zoo.  They played with their cousins and even got to meet two new baby cousins!  Michael and I were able to get away for a few days in Chicago, so we all had a nice time.

Visit with Grandparents and Cousins

Last week we took advantage of the long president's day weekend and had Grammy and Grandpa come for a visit.  We got to spend some time with them and also drove out to New Jersey to visit the cousins and celebrate Maddy's birthday.  It was great to see everyone! 

Christmas 2012

We traveled to Indiana before the holidays again this year to celebrate Christmas with family.  The girls loved all the attention and all the presents!  We arrived home just in time for Christmas Eve, when we sprinkled reindeer food on the lawn, put cookies and milk out for Santa, and listened for sleigh bells.  It was fun because it was the first year that Juliet really understood what to expect for the holiday and both girls were very excited on Christmas morning!

Four Christmases

We visited Fort Wayne the week before Christmas this year and celebrated with all of the grandparents and cousins. It was great to see everyone for the holiday and the girls loved having three Christmases there. After a busy week, we drove home to have Christmas morning at our house. It was a lot of excitement for the girls and nice to be surrounded by family!
