We’ve been driving up to NY for the last several years to spend Christmas with Eric’s family and this year we finally made it a little easier on ourselves with the addition of an EZ-Pass. Any time saved was a good thing as we also made three round-trips to JFK to pick up my brother and his girlfriend so they could spend the holidays with us!
I really enjoyed having them there and Eric got to show off where he grew up…
lots of smooth stones on the sound

We also took them to a local brewery in Greenport and a few of our favorite wine tasting destinations.
Christmas festivities were per our usual traditions with a visit to grandma’s for Christmas Eve and lots of stocking stuffers and mimosas on Christmas morning.

And Christmas wouldn’t be complete without a sleepy schnauzer to snuggle with. We had a great time catching up with family and I am looking forward to less time in the car over the next two weeks! :)
