Dave's parents arrived yesterday to spend a few days with us.  Ever since the Christmas I was pregnant with Emma they come up during the holiday week so that we can have Christmas together and spend some time making memories.  They got here yesterday just as we were arriving home from running some errands, and once everyone was settled it was decided that then was a good time to open a few gifts from Grandma and Grandpa.

About an hour after we left Connectictu we arrived at Dave's Aunt Lucia and Uncle Joe's house.  We don't often travel on Christmas day since the weeks leading up to it are so busy with Dave's extra hours at the store, but this year since Christmas was on a Saturday we figured why not?  So we had our usual Christmas morning (just the four of us), then headed to Connecticut, and finally arrived in New York late afternoon.  We arrived to a house full of family members and the smell of a delicious meal being cooked.  What could be better?!

Due to the snowstorm that is on its way today, it was decided to that we should quickly stop by my parents house on our way to New York for Christmas with Dave's side of the family.  It was agreed on that it would be the quickest of visits, since we were due in New York for Christmas dinner. The original plan had been that we would Christmas with the NY/NJ crew on Christmas Day and have the CT contingent here at our house for dinner the day after.  With the large amount of snow predicted for us (12-20 inches here in our part of MA) it seemed that the smart choice would be to postpone Chrsistmas with my family and just do a quick pit stop on our way to New York.
