December in New York...

We closed out 2008 with our annual holiday trip to NY, which always includes a visit to Arthur and Millie's to celebrate Christmas (on Christmas Eve). Christmas day was spent opening presents and then at the movies (Ella sat that one out with her mom) and following another boys night out at the Islanders game, Ella visited Delaware to see her Nona and then New Jersey to see her cousins Briana and Elyse. We also lit Hanukkah candles with Grandma, Grandpa, Uncle David and cousins Alex, Sydney and Ethan in a crammed fun filled week in NY (thanks so much Grandma and Grandpa!). To top off our December, we flew home on New Years Eve for a New Year's party at the Ritchie's where Ella stayed up to 1am.
