The day after Christmas, we had a blizzard in CT. The wind was pretty amazing, and it snowed about a foot. With two babies (and many others) in the house, we were just so thankful that the power didn't go out! Our flight out the next day was canceled and we couldn't get another for 3 more days - what a mess for the airports. Mason decided to rent a car & drive back the next day so that he could get back to work, but the boys & I were happy to hang around and spend some extra time with all of these wonderful people! :-)
Here are the remainder of my favorite photos from our time spent in Connecticut, mostly centered around my awesome family & lots of snow!
Our trip up meant baby introductions to Uncle Kyle, Aunt Debbie, and Uncle Dain - they were excited to meet their new nephews & were amazing at jumping right in and letting the mommies & daddies relax a little bit. Thanks, guys!

One of my all time favorite photos of Kyle + one of my all time favorite photos of Kaeden = a really great photo :-)
Even though we get to see Uncle Bret, Auntie, and Atticus quite often since they live in our neighborhood, it was so much fun to live in the same house for a week and especially see Kaeden & Atticus together. Some day, they're going to be best buds (whether they like it or not! hehe)

and photo shoot #3 in matching outfits from Mrs. CrossMom & Dad gave Ryan Candy Land for Christmas & he loved learning how to play his first board game. He has no concept of winning or losing yet, which makes playing with him so sweetly innocent - everybody who makes it to the candy castle gets a big cheer from Ryan :)
Kaeden found a great playmate in his Papa:
My cousin Sara stopped by on her way back down to DC so that she could meet the babies. We were so sad the she could only stay a few minutes due to the impending blizzard, but had to get a photo at least. Kaeden wasn't in the best of moods, in case you couldn't tell!
And here is the SNOW! Ryan was eager to get out and play, although he didn't last very long either day. The problem with living in North Carolina is that I don't bother to get him snow pants. At least Nana had gotten some snow boots!

As you can see, Ryan liked the snow... and Kaeden didn't! (I think it was more the brightness that was the issue for K)
And finally, some extra photos of the boys, enjoying their time at Nana & Papa's.
Love these :) Love you!
