We're Home Sweet Home!

{My guys in Cambridge...Ryan was in Paris with my mum/niece/aunt and cousin's daughter.}

We got home last night from an absolutely amazing trip to England to see our families.  Our trip was simply wonderful.  We have all been smiling from ear to ear!  Here's a few highlights of our first day.  We got off to a bit of a bumpy start missing our flight in NY to London because of air traffic control delays...navigated our way through 4.5 hours of sleep in a hotel in NY and arrived without luggage to my cousin's house.  Our luggage made it the next night.  Two funny stories from the travel:  When the plane was about to take off put Marcel put his hands up in the air like we were on a roller coaster.  He loved it.  It's only the second time he's been on a plane.  And then at midnight when we are in our hotel room in New York, I can't get the light on.  Dead serious he says to me, "Hey mommy...maybe it's one of those lights that you clap to get it to turn on.  I've scene that before on TV."  Never did figure out how to turn the light on :)

So here we are on day one (wearing borrowed clothes and minimal make up after a quick trip to a couple of stores in the morning).  We had a fabulous time seeing Matilda.  It is an awesome musical and was perfect for the kids.  Here we are all below...and despite his face, Collin really enjoyed it.  We were all dancing in our seats.  So happy to see Sandie too!  The bottom right was on Saturday night when we went out to a BBQ.  Collin found his smile...he has a big crush on my cousin's daughter so he was very eager to be close to her with a big smile for the photo.

The musical was right by Covent Garden where we had lunch and the boys loved seeing the street performers.   They are everywhere and are pretty fascinating for the kids!

And of course, I couldn't leave you without a card.  This is one I created before we left.  I'm entering this in the Moxie Fab Birthday Card Challenge.  I'll be back soon with more cards and of course more pictures!
