Amazing how much snow got dropped in our area pretty much overnight. Of course, it happened on a weekend again instead of during the week, but it’s always fun to have over a foot of snow to play in. Here are a few pictures from our weekend in the snow.

Here are a few pictures from Christmas this year. We had so much fun and we are all truly blessed to have so much in our lives.

We headed out to Shower’s Farms this year to cut down the Christmas tree. There were plenty to choose from and we found the one that we thought would look best in the family room. What a day! The girls got to see Santa and Mrs. Claus while we were out there and then we came home and decorated. I hope there is room for Santa to put some presents underneath it!

So we got to spend a few days with Goma prior to Thanksgiving. Sydney and Avery got to hang out with her painting, making cookies, and just spending time together. Here are a few pictures taken by the Spud and the Ave

And since Avery has to do what her big sister does, here are some pictures that Avery took

Did you ever wonder how life looks through the eyes of your kids? Sydney has been taking pictures recently. We have a Sony Cybershot that I let her use and she just walks around snapping pictures. On occasion, I will let her use the Nikon D80, but the Cybershot is more her speed. Here are some pictures taken by the Spud

Since Julee was out on a grocery run, I took the girls out to the local park today so they can run around and get some energy spent. We headed down to Codorus afterward and spent some time at the lake. Here are a few pictures:

Well, our plans to go to Winchester this weekend got canceled due to the rain. Walking around outside and picking apples in the rain would probably not be a lot of fun. So we went with plan B and headed up to Lancaster to go to the Hands on House. We have never been there and figured this would be a good day for it. Here are some pictures:

Had the perfect day to get outside and pick some pumpkins. This is the place that takes you out on a tractor and lets you pick all the pumpkins you want (or can carry). Here are some pictures from the day

We went down to Shovaker Farms for an Easter Egg hunt and it was a little colder than expected out there!! It was a nice day and even Goma was in town this weekend to enjoy the girls getting all their eggs.

We went into Winchester this weekend to visit. The girls got to play at the Discovery Museum and of course walk on the Old Town walking mall…standard stuff in Winchester! Here are a few pictures

Merry Christmas everyone!! I hope that your day was filled with the magic and love that Christmas brings each year. We had a great time starting with tracking Santa on Christmas Eve. We went to the 5:00 p.m. Christmas Eve servie and then we came back to the house to put the cookies, milk, and carrots for Santa’s visit. We woke up bright and early to see that Santa did stop in for a visit and left us all kinds of presents under the tree. Here are some pictures from the last few days.

We made a Gingerbread house today and it appeared that more candy was eaten than put on the house. Oh well…it’s all part of the fun! Here are some pictures from the well-constructed house.

We were able to get out and get out tree this weekend and luckily for us, we also got to run into Santa!! It was a cold day but we braved the weather and had some fun. Here are some pictures from being out at Shower’s Farms and seeing Santa out in Gettysburg.  We got home and had some warm cups of hot chocolate and put up the tree, strung the lights, and put the ornaments on.

I have a lot of catching up to do on my blog but figured I would at least post some pictures from our Kramer Thanksgiving/Christmas celebration. 9 adults + 6 kids = Chaotic Fun!! It’s fun to see the little ones running around with all of their cousins and wish we had more times like this. Scott and Lyssette hosted this year serving up grilled Turkey and a spread of gourmet sides and desserts. Eveyone asked for the Pumpkin Tirimisu recipe, which was a new dessert we were introduced to this year. Looking forward to Thanks-Mas 2009!

Here are some pictures from the celebration:

Fenwick Island

The Kramer family headed back down to Fenwick Island this year and we had 8 adults with 6 kids under the same roof. We all survived and we are looking forward to the next trip down there. Julee, the girls, and I stayed for about 4 days during the week. We went to the beach, went to the pool, played mini golf, rode a merry-go-round and had a great time! Here are some photos of everyone down at the beach.
