Annual Tower CIty Trip

 Last Sunday we took our annual trip up to Tower City with the Waybrights :) Here are some photos from our day. Lily and Lacy snuggling before we left.

 A few precious photos by the tree before we left.

 During the car ride up, we watch Jeremy & Heather's wedding on my phone :)

 "Mickey" the Elf came along with us.

 After we ate breakfast at Bob Evans we headed to Tower City to watch the Toy Soldier show.

We love our yearly tradition and look forward to it every year. Hopefully we can continue it for many more years.

Family Photos 2012

Our blessed family!

 Lacy was having a bad morning. She was very clingy to me. We could only get close up photos of her unless I was holding her. We couldn't get a photo of all three kids :(

 Lily cocked her knee and proposed without being prompted. Too cute!



Thanksgiving and such...

Thanksgiving was a relaxing day. We went to Nana & Papa's for the day. We ate around 1:00, went for a walk and went in the hot tub. It was a good day. Later that evening, we stopped by Heather's parents to see Heather & Jeremy.

 Lacy's hair is finally getting long enough to put up in a ponytail like Pebbles.

It was so nice on Thanksgiving Day. We were able to play outside!

And we went for a walk around the block.

On Thanksgiving Eve, we put up Christmas Tree #1. We bought a new tree this year for our living room. Our other tree was just too small. So now we have two trees - the other one has all our keepsake ornaments and is in the front room. We put the other tree and decorations up on Friday. There was no way we were going out into the Black Friday craziness.

 Dillon's new saying is "Who's the cutest?" He usually asks this after he gets dressed. I'd say he's pretty cute in this photo!

 Lacy's way of decorating the tree was to pile all her bulbs on the same branch. LOL. We let the kids decorate the tree and then we fixed it after they went to bed. :)

 Random photos...Lily doing her homework one evening. She usually has homework every night through the week. She loves it and will usually get it all done in the beginning of the week.

 There's that cute boy again...can you spot him?

 Cheeeese!

 Lily playing with her animals.

 Making burgers, fries, hot dogs and ice cream out of playdoh. This was my playdoh set when I was little.

 This is a picture that Lily made in school. This was in a book at her school when we went to the parent / teacher conference back in October.

 "Samba"

 Lily's first official report card! She's doing so well :)

 On Black Friday evening, we made popcorn on the stove and watched Toy Story. 

 On Sunday, my parents watched the kids overnight so that we could have a date night. We went to dinner at Rockne's and got a lot of Christmas shopping done :)
