Let it Snow

We arrived at Nanna's house last night and the kids took to the snow immediately. Uncle Ron came with Jaron and Landon. Grandma came for dinner too. We are off to Grandma's tonight to help her decorate her tree.

Christmas Lights

Here's the house all lit up for Christmas.

The Kids

Alex's Birthday Cake

We are preparing for Alex's 8th Birthday Camping Party. Jo made the campfire cake and even found "Chocolate Rocks" to make the campfire ring.

Alex's 8th Birthday Invitation

I finally finished Alex's invitation with a few days to spare. Now I still have to buy a tent big enough for the guests.

Long Beach Christmas in the Park

The kids saw Santa today and told him what they wanted for Christmas. I think Santa forgot his anti-depressant on this particular day. Crabby Ole St. Nick!

Old Friends

We spent the day with the Naquins. The kids had fun and the adults had tasty beverages.

Thanksgiving

We cooked 2 14# birds on the new grill with great results. No pics of the finished product. we were too hungry to delay. We were missing a few of our TG regulars this year but we still managed to have a great time. We hope next year brings the whole group back together. Gobble, Gobble!

Oh Say Can You See?

Abby's school choir sang the national anthem at the Sea Wolves hockey game tonight. That's Abby in the first row, third from the left.

Boo!

Back Yard Campout

In preparation for next week's Cub Scout camping trip we erected our new tent in the back yard and braved the cold for an overnight. We all survived the mis 40's temps and feel ready for next week's trip.

New Primo Grill

After much debate and a year of weighing the pros and cons of adding another grilling option to my back yard, I purchased a Primo Ceramic Grill/Smoker. Alex helped me build the table. I had the option to buy a factory made table but decided I wanted to do something nicer. After one cook I have decided my fancy stainless steel gas grill is now a forgotten relic. We have done Pulled Pork, Ribs, Chicken, Turkey, Steak, Hamburgers, Pizza and Cookies already.

Grace's First Golf on "The Big Course"

Grace took to the course for the first time today. Teaching golf etiquette to a 5 year old is quite a task. I only lost my cool once when she almost drove the golf cart into the pond on #7.

This Blows!

Our trip up North this year included a trip to the Corning Glass Museum. The kids blew glass Christmas ornaments. Very cool! We capped the trip off with a blistering hot hike up Watkins Glen.
