Weekend in New York: Part 2

Here we are at Craig and Anne's! We were there with Craig and Anne (duh), Sy and Soren, Aunt Diana, and cousins Hans and Karl. Here is a picture of Hans (referred to as "Ponz" by Soren) and Karl trying to get a picture of Soren next to the giantest piece of cake, ever:

Here is an unfortunately blurry picture of Craig attempting to smush his son's face into said giant piece of cake (don't worry, he didn't really do it!):

Soren entertained us all through the evening by dressing up as (in no particular order): an army man, a cowboy, spiderman...

Soren also spent some time convincing the adults to play a game called Shark Attack. Sadly, it got a little competitive. Here he is, explaining it to us:

Santa made an appearance...

Aww, brotherly love!:

Finally, we got a visit from Thomas the Tank Engine. This is about 3.5 seconds from a meltdown:

We had such a great time with these guys. Craig and Anne are so awesome and we're so thrilled to have them living close by. It was so fun for Kurt to see his cousins (and for me, to meet them!) and it's just always nice to spend time with family. Thanks, Craig and Anne (and Sy and Soren!) for always showing us such a fabulous time :)
