Christmas 2012 in NY

Christmas in NY was interesting this year.  We really had to find out if things were stable there.  Could we get gas OK? (if they were still rationing gas).  Were the parkways all clear?  We brought more clothing donations with us as well.
     The boys had grown a lot since most of the family had seen them.  Caz was taller than a lot of them.  Coco was on his way past a few.  Grandma shrinking helped that too.
     Caz and Coco are no longer the youngest.  A new generation is starting.  Demi's nephew adopted a son, when he got married.  Another one is on the way.  Another of Demi's nephews got engaged.  And thus the circle of life starts again.
     Our kids take to the change well.  They really get on well with their new cousin.  The older cousins have more in common with them.  They all played a long session of Rock Band.  Coco stole the show.  He was not shy.  True, he didn't hit a lot of the notes.  The cats in the neighborhood starting coming around.  But the kid is a showman.  I like that he's not shy and not afraid to put himself out there.  He's come a long way.
