Best Buds

This weekend we had a blast with family and friends in New Jersey! Saturday, we got together with Rob's best friends from high school and their families.

Here's Dave with Elizabeth, Rob with Ella, and Jeff with Ali and Ryan.












Here we are with the wives (Kristin, Lisa, Michelle) added in.










We all hung out together, until the kids started getting grouchy, and then we dropped the children off with their respective grandparents and got dinner. Ella really loves hanging out with her grandparents.
Unfortunately, Rob, Dave, and Jeff aren't able to get together too often but when they do, watch out. They're hilarious together! The stories we heard about their high school days . . . well, we'll wait to share those when Ella's a little older.

The next day, we got together with cousins Michael and Roie. Here's Ella with Michael.












Michael's more than happy to smile for the camera.













Roie, on the other hand, moves too fast for a good photo.











And Roie and Ella together, forget it. This is the best photo we could get of the two toddlers together.












Rob and Neil were easy to photograph.












Michael loves his uncle. As soon as Michael walked through the door and saw him, he yelled, "Rob!!!!!!"











Ella had such a busy weekend. Here she is napping on the way home (with the basketball she pilfered from Grandma and Grandpa's house).
