Christmas Morning

Christmas morning is nothing but a blur...that's how fast it went by. I recall being woken up by George around 2:00 a.m. telling me Jacob was awake and wanted to open presents (I won't repeat my response) - Anyhow...around 4:00 a.m. I was woken up again and repeated my first response and finally around 7:00 a.m. I had to give in and open presents.

My First Gingerbread House

In my 42 years of life I never made a gingerbread house - can you believe it? Well, this year I vowed to make one with Jacob and Gracie. First of all, what a mess it was...but the outcome was totally worth it...the gingerbread house came out a lot better than I thought it would and this is something I will definately do again next year with the kids - they had a blast making it.

Thanksgiving in Buckhorn

This year we got to go home to Buckhorn to spend Thanksgiving with the family. We normally stay home for Thanksgiving, but this year we decided to go home to the Clappers for the holiday. The kids had a great time playing with all their cousins. We don't get to go home too often so when we do it's always a good time and something the kids look forward to. I thought while I had all the grandkids together I would get a snapshot of them all together. In the picture attached is Georgie (on the couch) and from left to right is Gracie, Noah, Annie holding Andrew, Jacob and James. It was nice to be home for the holiday and spend some time with the people we love.

East Pennsboro Pumpkinfest

We had a beautiful day for the East Pennsboro Pumpkinfest. There was lots to do and most of the stuff we did do was FREE (which sounds great to me). The kids got their face painted, ate lots of junk food, and spent some time holding some of the smaller animals.


Unfortunately I had just started Weight Watchers and the aroma of some of my favorite foods was blazing through the air such as funnel cake, sausage and pepper subs, greasy french fries - yummy!! I was good though and resisted. The kids got some ice cream and french fries. I posted a few pics of my babies - this is something I will be sure to do again next year.
