On New Year’s Day we got together with Kate’s side of the family. This year Kate’s cousin Ed and his family joined us. Ed’s daughter Vienna dressed Declan as Santa.

Nana T. and her fancy, flashing, flamingo necklace.

Watching people come down the slopes.

Had to check out the red giraffe.

Noah tried to smack the smile off this suns face.

Sizing up the competition.

Magic carpet ride.

Almost ready.

“Where is that 60 foot kicker?”

That might not have been exactly how it went, but Noah gave it a try three times that day and seemed to get the idea. Kate would walk in front of us and while still holding holding his hands I would have him go towards her using either his toes or his heels.

High 5′s to Grampa Holt.

Apres snowboarding with a little juice and watching some Diego, who just by sheer coincidence was snowboarding in the episode that was on my phone.

Auntie Mindy brought out the 4-wheeler and Noah wanted a ride.

Careful in these woods, people are out to get you.

Snowboarding, so hot right now.

It’s always a party in NH.

It never works.

Especially on Christmas Day!

Including a stuffed falcon…

…and a horse cake that he asked Aunt Mindy for over Thanksgiving.

Friendly dogs.

Gear testing.

Later, at Uncle Wayne and Aunt Patty’s.

Back at Nana and Grampa’s house, two little monkeys jumping on the bed.

Jaycee!

Celebrating Nana Holts birthday.

Winding down.

Made it.

In real-life, this cool horse ornament is in focus.

Then we met up with this girl…

…and Nana and Opa for a trip into the city to see Santa.

The sun was bright and the line was long..

But we made it inside right before Santa took a break.

Derbs!

This was Noah’s 4th year visiting Santa at ABC, the excitement showed on his face.

Faker.

Then, a little something for me.

This might be the year…

Taking a walk outside.

The slow ones.

Aunt Mindy took some fire too.

First snowman of the season.

Cold!

He’s happy to be out, but you get to relive the memories here.

Grampa was out for a walk when we got to the hospital.

Sky was ridiculous. A sunset with fog? Too much.

Grampa was feeling better, his appetite increasing every day, so we made our way down to the cafeteria for lunch. (Great) Nana Holt, Uncle Wayne, and Aunt Patty joined us.

Lil’ dude didn’t want to be left behind.

After lunch, roaming the empty hospital.

Noah as comic relief.

Such a relief. Thanks to everyone who was pulling for him, and props to Auntie Mindy for spending the last week sleeping on a cot in Grampa’s room, helping out where she could and keeping everyone updated.

Flashback to last Wednesday morning when we woke up in White River Junction, VT. We battled a freak snowstorm in hopes of helping Grampa battle the boredom of bouncing around hospital rooms for almost a month.

Grampa’s last room had the best view.

The doctors encouraged Grampa to walk as much as he could, so that we did.

Grampa’s dob kit. A sign he was going to get out soon, you can’t keep a player down.

He should have gone home the same day but his digestive system refused to play nice and got itself into a bind requiring a couple surgeries and a whole bunch of patience. It’s been a long, tough three weeks.

The other night Noah distracted Grampa with a couple stories.

See you (in person) tomorrow Grampa!

A corn maze, pumpkins, hay rides.. live bluegrass…

Goats. Not sure why they didn’t make it on the sign.

I see your pumpkin shortage and raise you a pumpkin launcher! Ballin!!

Andy, Aransas, Savannah, Derby, Scott, Dawn, and Chester piled in a van and met us for the muddiest, bumpiest hay ride in history.

Hay was a hit.

Saying good-bye to Nana and Grampa who had to drive back to NH.

Grandparents are gone, break out the band!

This might have been a slow song.

Chester trying to make some tough decisions.

Derby’s handler.

Them Savas’.

Back in Brooklyn.
