a few photos from our trip up North~

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
