Rhode Island!

On Dec 28th we boarded a plane for a loooong trip to the USA via Johannesburg and Amsterdam. We landed in Boston and were so glad to be back home!


It started snowing as soon as we landed and by the time we got to Mema and Papa's house it was starting to stick. Perfect timing as it didn't impact our travels at all. And after 4 seasons that were spring, summer, spring, summer the kids were thrilled to see snow!


It finally felt like Christmas, and we had a second Christmas right that afternoon as we all got to visit and open gifts.


By night time we really had some snow!! We were so thankful that such a big dump waited for us to land and then drive down from Boston. Even a few hours later and our trip would have been EPIC. The kids were so excited that they had to go out and play in the snow in the dark.


The next morning the sun had come out and we woke up to a winter wonderland.


We headed over to Auntie Beth and Uncle Rod's house that day to have brunch with our cousins. It was so good to see them!


And after lunch the kids had to head straight outside to play in the snow. Pig pile on Teddy!


It was great to be with family and great to feel the cold, crisp, winter air.


We spent a really great week just relaxing and I got to re-bond with my little buddy. She especially liked my goofy hats...


New Year's Eve dinner... check out little bit at the end of the table. She is hysterical!


We got to see our newest little cousin Stella. The last time we saw her she was only a few weeks old!


And we got to see Grandma and Grampa Cast!


We had a great week, visited the American Girl Store up in Boston, and had an amazing time with all of our cousins.


And of course, Mema fed us some amazing food!!
