Anyway, Christmas in New England was beautiful and perfectly white. I mean the snow, of course, not describing spending time with Nolan's caucasian half of the family, ha HA. All jokes aside, Nolan's Mimi and Papa have a beautiful home in Newburyport, and it was quite the quintessential Christmas indeed. There was sledding, fun with cousin Haley and Uncle Chris, Wii tournaments, a Patriots game that was a breeze, a Patriots game that was a nail biter, a visit to Portsmouth, NH (such a lovely city--who knew?), a trip to the Dalton Club, and lots and lots of presents.
Here are a few photo highlights:

Third day's a charm. He finally gets why it's fun.

Aprés sled. Nolan is rosy cheeked and adorable.

All in all, it was a wonderful Christmas/winter vacation. Nolan was great on the plane, especially the trip home (slept 2+ hours, even through heavy turbulence), and it didn't take that long for Nolan to return to west coast time. Score!
New years eve, on the hand...well, Nolan was out like a light by 8 as usual, and I was out not long after. First time in a long time I didn't stay up to watch the stupid ball drop on TV (on tape delay, of course...anticlimactic much?). Meh. Who cares? New years eve is overrated, I say. But to everyone else who went out: I'm sure it was the BEST. PARTY. EVER! Happy 2008 y'all!
