The East Coasters Unite!

Shortly after Christmas, we were blessed to have more visitors.

We got to see (most of) those people that the Husband grew up with:

(we're missing the Husband's little brother, Jesse)

and (most of) the rest of us who joined the family:



They were able to join us for a low-key New Year's Eve celebration on the couch, snuggling with a sick Zachary:




(Nonna was singing along to Justin Beiber)
It was fun to see the cousins play together:





And as usual, awesome to have extra sets of hands around:

(Zachary was all over Pop, almost all of the time)

Sarah and Kayla had to leave on New Year's Day, but Nonna, Pop, Aunt Helen, and cousin AngelRose were able to stay until a couple days ago.  Unfortunately, during their visit, Zachary, Conor, Samantha, the Husband, Nonna, Pop, and I were all sick with colds.  (I'll spare you the boogery pictures.  Just know that they're out there.  And, in case you were wondering, Roar and Conor were around, they were just hiding from my camera apparently.)

Despite all of the ickiness, it was still so nice to have the family here.   Once a year is really not often enough.  We miss you guys!  Come back soon!
