Ben and I both had work travel to the states in mid-December and used the opportunity to get the kids, and our nanny, back to the states with us early. It provided some much needed extra time for the grandparents to see the grandkids. The kids spent a week in Erie, then we all went to Rochester for a week, and then back to Erie for Christmas. We took tons of pictures and hope you enjoy seeing the kids grow up. The first set were all taken in Rochester with Ben's parents and his sister Val and her family. Ben's dad used to be the fire chief in town and took the kids to visit the fire station. They absolutely loved it.
