More Family Pics from our NNY Trip

On the last night of our visit we took a group shot. We certainly missed Carly, Kurt and the boys!


Love the drool adorning Matt's shoulder.

Grandparents and grandkids.

The littles playing together.

 

Abby loved helping with Josie.

 

Getting the kids together after dessert was like herding cats so we settled for a shot on the floor.

 

 

 

I just love the way Abby and Annabel are smiling at each other like they have some inside joke.

 

We had such a wonderful time visiting Mimi and Poppy.  It was really special to spend so much time with everyone and we so appreciate all the time folk took off work, came by the house, etc. to be together.  Watching the cousins jump right in and start to play on day one without any hesitation, despite having seen each other over a year ago in August of 2012, warmed my heart.  They were the best of friends the whole time, with the occasional squabble of course (they're still toddlers after all!).
Annabel continues to talk about the trip all the time so it has made quite a lasting impression on her.  In fact the other day she asked if we could go again (of course!). 

Trick or Treating in Campbell

There are more pictures to come from NNY, but until I get a chance to download those here are a few from this evening's trick or treating event in downtown Campbell. The local shops gave out candy and treats to the kids. Mo and her family hosted us for festivities (their daughter Kate is the adorable lion!)

Burrville Cider Mill

Went to the Burrville Cider Mill yesterday for some fresh cider donuts and enjoyed the beautiful setting.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

More from the chopper

Visiting Poppy at work

Poppy was finishing the corn today so we dropped in on him at work. 

Taking a ride in the chopper, which was declared 'too loud'. 

Annabel's acclimated to the north country well

She didn't really understand when cousin Nick talked about hunting deer, calling it "silly". Here she is taking aim at flies on the door.

Early Thanksgiving dinner

Since moving to the west coast we haven't been able to travel to NNY for Thanksgiving so Mimi hosted an early thanksgiving dinner with all the trimmings. The feast was amazing, as usual. 

The kids had their own table. 

Matt's godmother and infamous baby-whisperer Gloria with Josie. 

Learning to yo-yo from cousin Andy.
