2 Frans + 40 Years = True Love

Nona and Poppy celebrated their 40th anniversary a few weeks ago. They came to Brooklyn to toast with the whole Nicastro clan. We started the weekend celebration on the roof with some bubbles for the kids (and some bubbly for the grownups.)

 

What's an urban rooftop party without hula hoops and a good game of cornhole?

Beware of the tickle monster. And don't laugh or she tickles you even more.

All Nona and Poppy really wanted was to spend time as a family.

But that would have been too easy. So we surprised them with a Broadway show, a romantic dinner, and a night in a hotel (without the kids and grand kids, for a change.)

While the 2Frans were off enjoying their romantic getaway, the cousins were literally on top of each other in our little apartment. Luckily, we didn't mind much.

Somehow Mommy got all four us to sit at the same time to do some painting.

But thank goodness for those NYC playgrounds so we could get some exercise.

 Thanks to Aiyana, Uncle Jude and Uncle Cory also got some good workouts in.

By now it was Sunday, and time to wrap up our exciting family weekend. But not without an ice cream sandwich to celebrate Aunt Kacey's birthday, a final family brunch with Nona and Poppy, and some big hugs between cousins.

Love and 40 years of family,

Zadia Love and Aiyana Eden
