Somehow, after 4 days in New York, my camera had no pictures of Grandma Shelley, Pop-pop, or Aunt Jaki.  Sorry!!!
But I did get a few great moments with Grandma Sylvia and cousins Lauren and Danielle.

 Gram reads a story to Sophie

Noah sat with Lauren for most of the seder

and Danielle had both kids giggling all night!

We visited the American Museum of Natural History, 

thanks to awesome passes from Aunt Jaki's neighbor!

The dinosaur bones were SO cool...

Mommy's shoes are fun to wear!

 

Not sure what inpired this play, but Noah and Sophie requested that I make "slings" for them for their dollies!

 

Sophie is determined to use a big spoon, with a big bowl, in the big chair.

luckily she didn't start drinking the coffee too (this time...)
