Merry Christmas & Happy New Year!


Lets start at the beginning of December....

We got and decorated our tree:

Chloe and I had a girls weekend overnight with Michelle:


April got new glasses! :)



We took our Christmas card photo!:


Kevin and the kids made press cookies - a completely stress-free tradition ;)


We hosted a spaghetti dinner night since some cousins were in town!


My youngest niece had a sleepover and I think she had fun :)  Here she is playing with Peter - she was Queen Princess Elsa of Ice and he was her security detail:




Everyone went ice skating and most of us loved it.





We saw Chloe's chorus and orchestra concerts.  It's hard to take a photo in the auditorium....but April and I had fun taking photos while we were waiting.


Our church had a Christmas brunch with a photo booth and props.  The kids wanted a selfie :)





Christmas morning excitement:



Our kids found out on Christmas morning about a vacation we are taking as a family.  Chloe's reaction was great!  She just couldn't believe it.



Chloe said that Mawna and Pap's was her favorite Christmas break time because "everyone was there".....and Mawna's wish came true of all the grandkids smiling for a photo in their Christmas jammies.  The rest of the time we were having so much fun we didn't take too many photos!



Kevin wasn't feeling great on the 27th, so the kids and I went to some stores and found after-Christmas-clearance deals.  We also found a winter photo area at the mall. 

On the 28th the kids and I headed to Philadelphia without Kevin (who had to stay home with his flu-germs).  It was nice to see most of Kevin's mom's family over the weekend!

We watched The Snowman and exchanged gifts on Saturday.  On Sunday everyone came over and had a pizza party and visited. 




On Monday we drove halfway home and visited Mimi.  The kids opened a gift from her and we had lunch.




And now, it's the last day of 2019!  We had lots of wonderful things happen this year, and are looking forward to 2020 :)

Spring has sprung?

This week has brought some strange weather! On Saturday, it was freezing while we watched Peter's baseball game - it was the "late night, under the lights" 8:00 pm game. and my toes were numb when the game was over. Then, Sunday was beautiful weather to watch soccer! April scored TWO goals in her game! We had a silent-auction at a church lunch on Sunday to raise money for the Youth Group Missions Trip. Peter bid on a cooler full of interesting flavored soda-pop....and he won! The first one he tried? Pickle Pop.  For a few years, our neighborhood has been the area of choice for a few mallard ducks to nest. The momma duck picked my neighbors' driveway this year...it seems like Spring must be coming if there are eggs!

Crazy May

 As is typical with three active kids, we've had a busy last few weeks! Photos coming soon of the dance recital, Peter's birthday party, school activities and more :)  Here is our May started: No power for 5 days! A wind-storm went through our area and several power lines were knocked over. We did have school for 3 days. The weather was perfectly sunny and 70 degrees, so it wasn't too bad :)
