We just got back from our New York trip! It was quite a trip... family, family, and more family! Vinny has the biggest family ever! Just when I thought we had seen everyone, we were back in the car on our way to Brooklyn to see some more cousins! We left on Saturday afternoon, cancelled flight first, then we re-booked and our new flight was delayed. If I had to grade Lee on the way there, she got a D, she cried, was pulling seats and did not sleep but for the last 30 minutes of the flight!
Nonna was so happy to see Leah! She hasn't seen her since she was born, so it was exciting to see her face :)
We walked down the street to Aunt Pina's house and were met by smiley Aunt Pina, cousin Vivi, Matthew (vinny's partner in crime) and Unlce Phil
Getting sleepy already!
Then we headed into Brooklyn to see Cousin Yoli and her family where they had a big dinner waiting for us and Lee met Gabriella who she LOVED! I am nto sure of the family relationship, but for sake of confusion we will call her cousin Gaby.
Aunt Yoli was the only one who could get Lee to eat anything, she was boycotting food the whole trip!
On Monday we were supposed to go to the city, but it was pouring, so we stayed in Staten Island and made Vin take me for some deli food, I love, love, love kinishes, this is a homemade spinach kinish, yummmmm!
When I was pregnant with Leah, all I ate were the half sour pickles like you get in the deli. Aside from her 1 piece of bread the day before, she ate pickles, lots of them!
They had a pickle bar! Pickles as far as the eye could see, cold, crunchy, um... my mouth is watering!
Matzo ball soup + rain= a great afternoon
That night, we had a big dinner at vin's house, cousin Lisa came over with the twins Christopher and Vincent, and her little clone Arianna. Leah loved them!
Joey and Vincent
Arianna and Leah
Hamming it up for her cousins, she was all smiles with them
Lisa knows everything! She has 3 kids who from 3 weeks old slept through the night! I should have called her earlier! 
The next day we went back to Brooklyn to see Aunt Lina and Uncle Joe and some more cousins

This is Little Gabriella, she has a new brother named Michael and she was very good with Leah. Gaby was so cute hugging and kissing Lee, it was too cute!
Little Michael
Lee was showing off her crawling to cousin Michael, she is almost walking too, her little Nike's make it so easy :)
Cousin Adelina, she got Lee the cutest outfits! I can't wait to take pictures of her in them. Just wait, cutest ensembles you have ever seen!
Uncle Joey was so cute with Lee. He would shove me out of the way so he could sit next to her ;)
I love this picture!
