Christmas 09 in NY - New Hartford and Old Forge

What an awesome holiday we had this year! On the trail of a horrific drive through the VA storm, we finally made it to NH without getting stranded. We enjoyed Nana and Papa and walking to Grandma Rye's! We had a fantastic dinner at Jeff and Lisa's new home and the kids spent hours sledding on their front yard hill. Nana and Papa of course threw their early Christmas at their place and I think Nana had more fun with the gifts than the kids! Such a kid....

And to top it off we had a lovely dinner at Chip and Lesli's on Christmas eve where the kids got lots of snowmobile rides from Uncle Chip! Thanks to everyone for such a great time.

In Old Forge we got to meet our newest member of the family, Abbey, not even 2 weeks old! She is an absolute doll and we all had to fight for our "hold" time! Lauren just loved her too. We went sledding just about every day - a couple of times at the "big" hill at the golf course, and other times at Daddy's manmade one at Gramma and Grampas. We got to see Tina and Steve, and Heather and Greg and of course Jake! We had awesome dinners, a beautiful Christmas day, and lots of games. Our last night there we all went to the Ole Barn for dinner. Thanks to everyone for a great vacation!
