Easter

On Easter Sunday, we drove up to New Hampshire for brunch with Lee's extended family.  There is a whole new generation of kids and Elizabeth is now the oldest, rather than the youngest.  We had a great time visiting with family, playing with the little ones and holding babies!

Elizabeth made these adorable cupcakes - bunny butts! 

Christmas Eve

We spent a lovely Christmas Eve in New Hampshire.  We started off by visiting my friend Janet and her family and catching a bit of the Patriots game.  We then visited with my parents (and sister and brother-in-law) at the nursing home where my mom is staying right now.  Then on to Aunt Margie's house and all of the chaos, food and gifts of a good Christmas Eve.

Uncle David made amazing Harry Potter wands - the girls were blown away.

Easter Sunday

We had a wonderful Easter again this year.  After a very late Saturday evening for both girls, they both awoke early on Sunday morning to find their Easter baskets, which were a hit.  We then got ready and drove to NH.  First stop was Grammy and Grampy's house, where we celebrated with the extended Roy family.  When then visited Grammy and Grandpa, as well as Auntie Kathy and Uncle Peter, before heading home.  It was a lovely day, but went by very quickly!

Grammy made the girls a beautiful photo album.

The weather wasn't great, so we had to take our Easter photos inside.

That's a lot of loot!!!

Christmas...And Then Some

More photos from our extended Christmas celebrations this year.  We are so amazingly blessed to have such wonderful family and friends.

We crashed the Bouchers family party on Christmas Eve - no big deal.
