Uncle Bill, Aunt Michele, and cousin Brooke arrived from Delaware first. Michele loved up on baby Ella. 
Andy's cousin Joey and his wife Bernadette and their kids little Joey and little Bern arrived from south Philly shortly after. Their son Joey is 15 years old and 6'1" with a size 14 foot!! He grew so much from the last time I saw him just a year ago. He is so good with little kids (his mom is one of 6 kids so lots of cousins for him) and Lilly took right to him. He was so sweet playing with her and holding her (and Ella).
I don't think a family picture has been taken in quite some time! I really wish Bill and Michele's daughter Alicia and her husband and son had made it. Would love to see them in this picture.
In some weird sort of subconscious way I dressed myself, Lilly, and Ella in the same blue and brown.
Babcia and her sons.
Lilly got some great gifts. This is a really neat 100% recycled "green" tea set. She also got a build-a-bear, Tinkerbell stamp book, and some food for her kitchen. Ella got some clothes and a soothing musical glowing seahorse (way cool).
We had a really nice time and the fun lasted all day until 9p.m. Lilly was exhausted as were we. Today we went out to breakfast, picked up some things at Target and CVS, and hung at home. Tonight my friend Stephanie and her son Jordan will come over for dinner. Sadly, she'll be moving in a week to Cape Cod, MA. We'll really miss them!
