Ice

Forgive me, I'm turning into my mother when I do things like this. I had to post some pictures of when we had ice on our trees. It's so beautiful to me, although it can cause terrible damage to trees and plants. Thankfully, no harm done to ours. This is for you mom!

Christmas...round two.

On Christmas morning, the four of us had our family time together and then later that morning we headed over to Ann and Doug's for Christmas. I'm going to post a lot of pictures mostly for Jared...he was not able to be with us this year...we missed you Jared. We had a wonderful time together and was sad to think that this one day that you look forward to for an entire year is gone so quickly.

Christmas on Christmas Eve

We had a wonderful Christmas this year, although, once again, Joshua got croup, but was well enough to be a part of the festivities. We had great food and most of all, it was wonderful to be with family. Some pictures include Uncle Mark torturing his nephews. As always, no matter what, the cousins have a blast being together. At the end of the night, auntie Ang read the kids, those that would pay attention, the story of "The Night before Christmas."

Welcome James Joseph Leone

My 8th nephew was born on December 26th. My sister now has 4 boys...no girl yet!! Thought I'd post some pictures of a proud aunt and cousin (Emma).

1st Day of Winter

On the first day of Winter...the skies opened up and snow fell! It's wonderful that right next to our house we have a path that goes down hill. Steep enough to sled down it. Emma and Johsua had a wonderful time. They spent some time here before they headed to a larger hill around the area. I stayed home and wrapped...got everything done though. And yes, Joshua is wearing Emma's old winter snow outift...she barely wore it and I figured he's young enough to not know.
