Christmas in NY

When Hurricane Irene hit the Northeast, my mom's basement flooded which pretty much eliminated our place to stay in NJ (the extra bedroom/bathroom at her house was in the basement).  So, we weren't really making as many trips up to visit with nowhere to stay.  But, we were missing our NY family and needed to go spend some time with them for the holidays so we decided to squeeze in a quick trip to my dad's before Christmas, just Ellen & me.
She fits right in with the girls when we arrive!

I was so grateful we got to squeeze in a quick visit with Grandma Mary, Aunt Maura and Uncle John--some of my favorite people around!

Three generations, one photo (and one in the womb!)

Ellen & Grandpa on our way to go see the train exhibit at the NY Botanical Gardens.

Ellen & her aunts!

 Someone--I'm not naming any names--insisted on climbing up the rocks "by MYSELF!"
Merry Christmas everyone!
