We made the trek once again up the I-95 corridor to visit family in Connecticut and New York. We had a great time in CT - and saw all the Smith side. It was a Nicholas & Natalia love fest - she is so good with him and he just adores her. Frank and I took Nicholas and Natalia to the Kid City - and Frank was impressed (we love that place!)
Our time in New York was equally enjoyable with lots of quality time with cousins Alexander and Caroline. Nicholas and Caroline are both little piggies and just ate and ate throughout the whole holiday. Uncle Pat and his Young Beautiful Smart Wife Donna came to dinner and the Busso's managed to pull off yet another elegant and delicious meal - even with all the grandkids involved. Frank and I even managed to squeeze in a fun overnight trip in Manhattan - just us! We stayed in a boutique hotel and saw an off-Broadway show, while Nicholas stayed in Staten Island with Grandma & Grandpa et al. All in all it was a very Merry Christmas!
