Sledding at Grammy and PopPops

Want to experience some great sledding? Head out to Pa, hook up some sleds to the back of a 4 wheeler, and go...
Right before we arrived in PA it snowed about 8 inches. The perfect amount to go sledding and have snowball fights with.
Thanks to my parents the kids (and adults) had 11 acres of uncharted territory to explore and sled on.

New York City

Last week our family had the opportunity to go back east and visit my parents for Thanksgiving. All of my sisters and their families congregated to PA for a week long reunion.
While we were out there everyone took a trip to New York City. We went on a tour and saw just about everything. Time Square, Rockefeller Center, Ground Zero, Battery Park, Statue of Liberty, Wall St., Empire State Building, etc....
When we first got off the train at Grand Central Station we were all excited to be there. We started taking pictures and looking at all the architecture. Then I asked Keri if she liked NY and she turned to me and said, "This is the most boring city. I thought there would be a lot more to do. But all we've done is take pictures." She quickly changed her mind though when we walked out of Grand Central Station and onto the streets of NY. There was a feeling in the air that was undescribable.
Our favorite memory of the day was waiting for the tour bus after seeing the statue of liberty and watching Aunt Celeste and Aunt Lizzy fight to get us out of the freezing cold weather. :)

Halloween

Halloween came and went in the blink of an eye. Lots of candy, lots of tricks, and lots of treats. For fun Cole dressed up as a ghost/ghoul and scared some of the kids in the neighborhood. (Most of the people didn't even see it coming.) Next year him and Ledoux want to make it even more scarier. We'll see how much I let them get away with...
Keri ended up trick-or-treating with her friends in the neighborhood. This was the first year I didn't walk/drive with her. She seems to be growing up way too fast.
Carson enjoyed hanging out with his older brother and cousin. He even took off for awhile with his friends...

Keri's Birthday

O.K. I know this was awhile ago but I'm just now getting my act together...
This year we held Keri's birthday party in our garage. The girls bobbed for apples, had a mummy race, a scavenger hunt, and donut relay. It was probably the best birthday party ever. Everyone got a little loud and a little crazy. But that was the fun part. Happy 10th birthday Keri!!!!
