The best part about staying home for the holidays? People come to you! Not that we don't enjoy visiting people, but with all of the back-and-forth we've done for the past many months, it was nice to just kick back, cook, and enjoy friends and family in our own place. We had a string of visitors from a few days after Christmas on, starting with Grandma and Granddad Flynn and Aunt Mo on Tuesday morning. It was great to see them...we didn't do much but just relax, eat, and let Eamon entertain us.
On Thursday morning, Keren and Landis stopped by. They were on a whirlwind tour of NYC but made time for us. It was so great to see them! I tried out some new breakfast recipes (goat cheese and spianch quiche with a hashbrown crust and banana maple walnut French toast) and we got to catch up a bit.
The following day, Chuck, Kristen and Mikaela arrived for the big New Year's Eve weekend. We also didn't do much but play with the babies and veg out (though we did take a nice walk through Hoboken, at ate Grimaldi's pizza, and took respective turns going to the movies, with K and I seeing Black Swan and Mark and Chuck seeing The Fighter)
. We managed to stay up to watch the Ball Drop and then some...that night, Nora did NOT want to go to sleep, so I was up until at least 3:30 a.m. laughing to myself about what I was doing in years past at the same time on NYE...Finally, Rachel came over on Sunday night for pizza and a little football (well, we talked, but football was on...). I hadn't seen her since before Nora was born so we had much to catch up on!
