These books are SO fun!

Teaching Uncle Nolan to fish

They played this a lot.

Playing necklaces with Uncle Nolan in the tent.

Reading the Dog book with Grandma Sue & Grandpa Tom. Haley really liked the part about "All dogs poop. All dogs pee." Very educational.

We headed to Pittsburgh from December 26 - January 4! It had been just over a year since we made the trip, much overdue! Haley was very good on the planes and stayed entertained on the planw watching lots of Dora and reading magazines! We were quite busy while in Pittsburgh with the following activities:

• Sunday night: Opening Christmas presents that Santa left for us at Grandma Sue & Grandpa Tom's house
• Monday: Sue & I went shopping. So nice to be back in a US mall with US stores!
• Tuesday: GG (Great Grandma Honey) came over for a play
• Wednesday: Met Aunt Sue for lunch and cooked a Mexican feast for dinner
• Thursday: Had a party so the Pittsburgh family and friends could visit with us! Sue had delicious food and Haley put on quite the "show" for everyone!
• Friday: New Year's Eve....visited with friends during the day and celebrated NYE with some champagne.
• Saturday: Steve & Nolan went to the Winter Classic hockey game (Penguins vs. Capitals played outdoors at Heinz Field (Steeler's stadium)). They had a fabulous time although the Penguins lost.
• Sunday: Brunch at GG Honey's new house and met Steve's friends at a bar to watch the Steeler's game!
• Monday: Played outside and watched the Orange Bowl where Virginia Tech lost! =(

Unfortunately, we did not get to see GG Swick as she was very sick for much of the visit! We are glad she is feeling better and will make sure to visit next time!

Happy New Year to all our friends and family! May you have a prosperous 2011!
