Andrew’s first time on skis and he did AWESOME! After a fun-filled weekend skiing with friends, it reminded Andy and I how much we enjoy the sport and how much we can’t wait to share this with our boys!
To get him acquainted, I signed Andrew up for Friday ski lessons with his buddy Austin for the next few weeks. It was awesome to watch them experience this new sport together. They both did great!
Couples-only ski weekend in Windham, New York! Not much better than hitting the slopes and laughing so hard your stomach hurts with friends! ?❤️
It’s called a mall, boys.
The escalators, a food court and shopping for things in a real store (not Amazon)….their minds were blown.
After Christmas in Middletown we headed to DC for lunch with Preethi and Shiwali! It was quick (and sadly no pictures) but always great to reconnect with old friends…especially with the whole family in tow!
From DC we headed to Fallston, MD for the night to check out the Barba’s beautiful new house. The Sullivans even joined us for a festive Christmas celebration!
And from Fallston we headed back down to Baltimore for the night to visit the Harrells. The kids had a blast at the aquarium, eating pizza, playing skee-ball and having another sleep over with buddies!
And after a week of festivities, that’s a wrap for Christmas 2019! It was a lot of moving but a ton a fun.
How did we manage it all you might be asking….. well, I did have a little help from my good friend Bailey in the morning! 😉
So much excitement, so much happiness, so much chaos!
After a few sugar highs, more gifts and some naps, we headed down to Carol Creek with the whole crew to view the boat lights. Our motley Christmas crew in their pjs and hat!
We put a lot of miles on over the last week visiting folks for the holidays! But despite all the ‘highway time’, it was a great and a beautiful reminder of how lucky we are to have such a wonderful community of friends and family in our lives! ?❤️
Before we could leave, we had to make sure Santa knew how to find us in Maryland. So the boys and Andy drew a map of course!
First stop, the Fear family farm! We had a great time visiting with everyone and getting to see their beautiful property! Plus the boys were in heaven getting to ride on the tractor, ATVs and being able to see the animals! The excitement in their eyes was awesome!
Thank you Jimmy, Grace, Kaitlyn & Abby for having us! Next time we need a group photo!
Next stop, Grandma and Grandpa’s in Middletown! Grandma and Grandpa arranged for everyone to go swimming on the first day. The kids had a BLAST and the parents were happy to see them use up all that energy. On the way home from the pool we stopped off at Carole Creek in Frederick to see the boat lights on the canal. My boys love to look at ‘pretty lights’ during the Christmas season so this was a hit!
And then it was Christmas Eve! We took the kids to the park in the morning to run off some of their excitement. But before we could leave, Charlotte helped Andrew finish is school work. 🙂
We also may or may not have stopped for lunch (and Margaritas) on the way back to Grandma’s!
Christmas Eve festivities; including a visit from Santa!
Off to bed kiddos, Santa comes tonight!
Annual tradition! Here comes Santa on his firetruck spreading holiday cheer!
Looking dapper!
Time for he big show! Holiday Sing 2019!
So proud of how well they did and love our new little school for helping to create special experiences and wonderful memories!
