Visit w/ Uncles Michael and Jeffrey

Natalie had a wonderful time playing in the first snow of the year....needless to say it hasn't been the last :) She did have some difficulty trudging through it since it almost went up to her waist; but we still had a ton of fun!

Uncle Michael and Jeffrey came to visit on a "rough" weekend. After a major NE ice storm which left Haverhill (and MANY others) residents, including the Buccini family, without power, the whole group came to Westford to camp at the LaCoste home..... for those of you who have been here...imagine 7 people, 8 including Natalie, sleeping in one house. It was comical, but it proved that it doesn't matter where you are, you can have lots of fun with your family. Natalie took a while to warm up to Uncle Michael but ended up giving him one of her signature bear hugs around the neck...and luckily I had my camera ready to capture the moment! The next day the power came back and we all traveled to the less cramped quarters of my parents' house.

I included this one to show off my little reader. Kevin and I have been working on phonics and helping Natalie sound out words....so she's a little advanced (kidding obviously, but doesn't she look like a natural)?

Natalie had a great time with her Grandma and Nanny when they went to the mall to have their picture taken with Santa Claus....that's right THEIR picture. All three of them had their picture taken with Santa again this year and when our home computer isn't on the fritz I'll scan that picture to show! We hope everyone had a great holiday!
