New Year’s Eve - Daytime

We made it to the city!  It was  a little different this year because there were no fireworks! Boo-hiss!!  We still made the best of it!  We skated masks and all!  Then we went into the city to find some cheesesteaks!  Boat is still out whether or not the kiddos like the Philadelphian tradition, but Bob and I enjoyed them!

Shady Brook Farm - Drive thru lights

We decided at the last minute to drive about an hour to see the drive-thru lights display at Shady Brook Farm in Yardley.  We hoped the price and drive were worth it.

It was amazing!  RJ and Morgan really enjoyed the lights!  It was a long display of lights and we were all impressed!  RJ used his phone to take a zillion pictures of the light displays and the joy on his and Morgan's faces and hearing their chatter melted my heart!  

Soo was the drive and price worth it?  

YES!

No matter the coast or distance, this display was worth it!

PRICELESS!

Christmas Eve - so different

Of course Christmas Eve would come with the vengeance! Not only cold air, but insane wind and insane amounts of rainfall. There went any traces of snow that were left... boo hiss... no white Christmas for us!  

We watched Christmas Eve mass from our couch and enjoyed a nice fish meal created by Daddy. Lots of pictures before heading to bed in hopes Santa will come!

One last cuddle with Hugs as he and Sweetie will head back to the North Pole tonight.  Sad time for us!

Matching PJs for all picked by Morgan this year!

Spread ready for Santa and his reindeer!

RJ wrote the note on the red paper and Morgan wrote a note on the smaller piece of paper

One last Christmas cartoon before heading to bed for a 'long winter's nap'!

Christmas Eve tradition that we didn't change!

Reading "Twas the Night Before Christmas"

Kids were snug as bugs in their beds and I went down to the basement to pull out the presents Bob and I bought for the kids and we had a DISTASTER! Ugh... the sump pump was spraying water everywhere!  Not what we wanted to see around 11:30pm... gah!  Thank goodness we figured out how to fix it and got to bed before Santa arrived!  It was a close one!  Whew!
