Last Christmas was the first year ever<\/strong> that we didn’t head home for the holidays due to new baby Silas. So needless to say we were chomping at the bit to get there this year. The trip was wonderful. Silas got to see all his grandparents, aunts, uncles, cousins and a few of his east coast baby\/kid friends. He got to enjoy two Christmas’, one in Pittsburgh PA and one in Marathon NY. He even got to go sledding for the first time and play in the snow. The only downside to the whole trip was that it was way too short (just over a week spread between both PA and NY!). That, and the realization of how much we miss our east coast friends and family tremendously.<\/p>\n
