Sightseeing in DC

We had a wonderful trip to DC this past weekend and it started early Friday morning with a day in Washington DC seeing historical landmarks. Ethan had trouble accepting that we couldn't go into the White House and say hi to the president, but overall there was excitement about what we saw! Later that evening we drove to Wheaton and visited Grandma and Grandpap at their house and showed Ethan and Jillian where Mia grew up too. Then we spent a great evening with Janice, George and their daughter Val. She won J over quickly by painting her nails. It was a huge Friday!

Our pilot got out of his seat and told the kids to get in!

The Best Easter Party Ever

This Easter we had a blast hosting family at our house! A couple of days before we dyed eggs for everyone and then we had an Easter egg hunt, taught the kids to play Bocce, played some hockey, and facetimed with the Giratas! We had a wonderful dinner thanks to everyone and a pretty dessert you can see I made below. As the kids sing from Mickey Mouse: "It's gonna be the best Easter party ever, the best part is we'll be together! And we'll be friends forever, it's spring time. A sing a ling a ding time. fa la la la la la la la la!"

Christmas 2 of 3

Our family Christmas at Mia and Poppy's house was such a wonderful day. The cousins played and we all laughed and had a great time visiting. It was really nice to have some of our family from out of town here to celebrate with. It's amazing to see the holidays through the kid's eyes and I hope to keep that magic alive for many years to come. This post is dedicated to good times with the Roenick, Girata, Weitz, Hart, Schilling Crew! Maybe we'll add more next year....like Stepp or Shelton. Hint Hint.

Annemarie got lots of love

Christmas 1 of 3

Happy Holidays everyone-I said I would be going backwards! We have had a fantastic couple of weeks and it's been really hard to return to work/school after the break. We made our annual trip to Christmas Lane this year, Jillian sat on Santa/Mrs. Claus lap for the first time EVER, and the kids absolutely loved decorating the Christmas Tree and wrapping gifts this year. We had a great time celebrating Christmas with our family and the cousins enjoyed their visit together more then ever. It's been an amazing 2 weeks of fun, relaxation and the excitement of the elf on the shelf and counting down with our advent calendar filled with surprises. We missed many of you and hope to see you in 2013!
