before they went back to New York

In the midst of the busy holiday season, I feel so blessed that the Hilgarts took some time out of their already super busy schedule to come here for a visit. I'm so thankful we got to spend a whole night with Erica, Bret and Ben before they headed back to New York.
The boys were like old friends playing together. Ben taught Henry and William how to hail a taxi and then they pretended the little car was a taxi and took turns driving it. When it wasn't his turn to drive, either Ben or William would take a turn pushing it. We got a babysitter and when the boys were tucked into bed, we went to Biaggi's and had a relaxing dinner.
This is the only picture I have of all three boys together. And it's with the "taxi".
 
How funny is sweet little Ben? When I first glanced at the picture I thought it was just Henry pushing William in the car. Then I looked closer and saw those big, beautiful, brown eyes! It's like "Where's Waldo?" finding him there. I was so happy to discover I did indeed have one picture of all three of them together.

I let Ben press the button on my camera and he took a few pictures of William, too.


They turned out cute. I think he has a good eye!

and let's not forget Erica. Henry took this picture of her. Turned out cute!
