They predicted 16 inches which would have been great if we didn't have 40 mph plus winds! Some areas were a few feet and others you could see the lawn. So we headed up to the kids school to hit the slope! 

 The wind there was BRUTAL too! But we had a fun time sledding down the steep hill. 

 Are ya in there Mike?

 GO Xander GO!

 Hold tight to your tube Alyssa!

Another one bites the dust!

Christmas 2010

 C'mon Mom we've had our moment of love! Now we're ready to rock n' roll! Let's get to those presents!

 Grandma Barbara is so happy to share in the festivities!

 The snowboards were a hit! Now bring on the snow!

Yay- plastic baggies wow that is exciting Mom!  

Uncle Michael eating a warhead candy. So nice of you to share Xander!

Cuteness...

Her saving grace! Why couldn't she do this for the family Christmas photo?

Picking up where we left off

Liz and I have been friends since 1st grade! Yes, that is a very LONG time! 

It is always so much fun to see her and Bob!

I love how we catch up on family, life and just enjoy one anothers company. Picking up where we left off and never missing a beat. 

 

 

This visit we even got some adult time when the 4 of us got to go for an overnighter in Boston. We spent a festive night in the city where we laughed A LOT, ate good food and more great memories were made! 

Photo take 1, 2...oh I give up!

This year we attempted our annual Christmas family photo on Thanksgiving morning and then again in the afternoon. 

Here are the not so "picture perfect" results

Lola wanted nothing to do with the pictures!

And it didn't help that I looked down!

 Let's try this inside...well maybe NOT!

Okay how about on my sister's porch?

Lola over here!

This one is my favorite of the boys! Too bad Alyssa was looking down.

So we didn't get one great picture, but we had MANY 

merry moments laughing our way through attempts!

Instead of trying for a third time I decided to make everyone's lives easier and crop their best photos and place them in single pictures that make up 

a "family photo" all together!
