Vacations, BIG Moving News and Matteo's on the Move!

After finding good fares to JFK, we decided to visit my Titi Mayra, Tio Frank and Ricky in CT. I called my Boston family and my dad and declared it an early family thanksgiving. =) Thankfully, my Titi Mayra thought it was a great idea and hosted everyone fabulously for the weekend. We had a great time with the family and enjoyed sharing even bigger news - that our next move will be to Lowell, MA, right outside of Boston! We are so thrilled to be near family and excited to add a new state to our "lived in" list.

Serious boy. Really wanting to crawl!

Everyone was full of gifts for the boys. Titi Mayra got Sebastian a Mr. Potato Head which has been a huge hit!

She also got him some mini-bongo drums and other instruments that he loved playing with Lelo.

My cousin Arlene and husband Jonathan had some special gifts for the boys too. We are so excited that we will be nearby when they have their first baby this March - a new Silva cousin!

Fun game with Lelo - throwing the snowman ball up and down!

My cousin Ricky is an ever faithful blog follower and had a great time seeing the boys and meeting Matteo. Here he is playing with his littlest cousin!

Sunday morning, before the end of our family party, we had a toast to all the great things the new year will bring. A new baby for Arlene and Jonathan and us moving to be near Boston! We hope to be able to hang out with everyone again come January. It was a fantastic weekend - thank you to everyone!

And as a side note....on Sunday night Matteo really wanted to get to these foam letters that Sebastian got as a gift from his cousins. He wanted to get there so badly that he actually started a funny scoot/crawl thing!!! In the span of two days he is now completely mobile with his funny little crawl. I will try to get a better video later, but here is his first one of him moving around at home. It's a whole new ballgame now!!
