Times Square

We went with some friends to see the tree in Times Square last weekend. I love New York at Christmas time! Everything is so pretty and shiny. Plus you get the added bonus of wandering arounnd people watching. It's awesome!

Merry Christmas

An update(just for you Carrie!)

What have I been up to? Let's see...... School, housework, volunteering, shopping, decorating, sending Christmas cards, partying, basketball practice

We went to Hershey park to see the Christmas lights with some friends. It was the coolest!!!! The park is all decorated with lights and we toured the Chocolate factory.

The singing cows that make the chocolateSo things have been a bit crazy here. I'm looking forward to next week though. I love Christmas more than any other time of year!!!!

Good old fashioned family Christmas......

We brought our tree home yesterday. Luckily my dad has a truck cause this is what the PT Cruiser would have looked like driving home from the tree farm!

We have 15 ft ceilings in the family room and the tree fills the space very nicely.......

Coach of the year.....

This past Wed. we got a call that a friend of ours had passed away. We met Chris when Gavin started little league in town. He was an amazing coach. The kids had a great time and learned so much from him. Right from the very first time you met him he would always remember your name when you ran into him someplace. It's such a huge loss to this town and the sports organizations for Chris to be gone. I'm really gonna miss seeing him at football practice, in the concession stand, at the baseball field.....

We will never forget you Coach Chris!!!

Happy Monday!

View from the back door!

View from the front porch.....

We woke this morning to a snow storm. I cant remember the last time the ground was covered in snow for Thanksgiving. Of course it's supposed to be back in the 60's by Wednesday so this will all be gone. I'll take some of this again Christmas Eve, thanks!

Sam and Patrick

Gavin has always been annoyed by the fact that Sam the cat will have no part of being dragged around the house. He is 7 and pretty much set in his ways. Those ways do not include playing games with a child.

Sooooooo I introduce you to Patrick!

Gavin got Patrick for his birthday on Friday. Being only 8 weeks old he is much more willing to play, run, jump, climb, skip, hop, leap and anything else he decides is fun at that moment. This is what happens when you try to get an 8 week old kitten to sit nice for picture taking......
