Vacation Wrap Up

This year Zoe and Zan had two full weeks of vacation over Christmas and New Year's. Here is a brief summary:

Holiday Baking & Decorating

Gingerbread Baby (based on the book by Jan Brett)

On the 26th we headed south to Pennsylvania where we spent time with Grandma, Uncle Ben, Aunt Debbie, Carter, Melissa, Tom, Ivy, Uncle Duncan, Aunt Margaret, Nick and Nate.

Grandma treated all of us to a fun day at beautiful Longwood Gardens.

Here is the only group photo I have - we're gathered in the parking lot!

The beautiful conservatory...

Zan enjoying the wonderful smells...

Tried in vain to get a fabulous shot of the five young cousins...

Another unsuccessful attempt...the older they get, the harder it is....

Five cousins with Grandma.

After our visit in Pennsylvania we headed north to visit with Mimi, Uncle Pete, Auntie Maria, Gianna & Jack, as well as Auntie Gina, Uncle Bill and Will (who had traveled north from North Carolina).

Will LOVES garbage trucks! I think his older cousins had just as much fun with his garbage truck as he did!
