As I've already shared, we had such a nice trip up to NJ visiting family and friends and welcoming the New Year. Claire and I got together (twice!) with a very dear friend of mine (who I don't see nearly often enough) and her 18 month old daughter, a college friend of mine and Mike's who we had not seen for over 5 years (since our wedding) came for a visit, Claire got to meet her paternal great grandparents and see her aunts, uncle, great aunts, great uncles, cousins, and of course her wonderful Nana and Grandpop, A LOT of delicious food was made and eaten, and Wolfie returned from his extended (and, ahem, self-led) walk(s) safe and sound. Before getting any further into this fine new year, I'd like to post some photos from our trip.

| Watch out world, here she comes! |
 |
| quite pleased with her new hat from Nana and Grandpop (oh, how she loves her Nana and Grandpop!) |
 |
| taking a break (with Bear) from all that action |
 |
| four generations |
 |
| a couple of Mike's Grandmom's handmade ornaments (she is ever so skilled in the sweets department, as well- gotta get the cheesecake and toffee recipes!) |
 |
| an exciting game of "pillow" with Aunt Jen~ this involves tossing a pillow on the floor, saying "pillow!", and watching as Claire crawls over and flops down onto it |
 |
| playing with her new stacking cups with Nana (everything was more fun when it was done with her Nana!) |
 |
| walking at the park |
 |
| being hypnotized by Uncle Kevin's humming |
 |
| and alas, our vehicle, ON the exit ramp, but OUT of gas......um, oops |
