Snow in OH

Winter is back! While getting ready to go to work last Saturday, I took these pictures.

This morning on my way to work it was -5 below 0.

Snow in PA

It does still snow in PA! A couple of days after we washed the cars and took a walk without a jacket, we woke up to this. The first pictures are looking across the backyard to Uncle Ray's and across the side yard toward the new development. The others are from the front of Mom and Dad's and down the street.

December Baseball...and Carwash!

Hey Carla.. Remember this December 31st ...Harrisson Hills picnic ...scalloped potatoes with Pappy and Liita? and "snowball" instead of baseball?

This year-Elaine and I washing the cars on December 27th- a beautiful and warm day again. Of course, it snowed just a few days later! I'll post those pictures next!

Presents!!!!

Cool hats from Elaine-- a new dishwasher-first ever one in 53 years!!!

I don't know what Lexie is holding- and Lydia is just a happy camper most of the time!

Christmas Day- later in the evening

Everyone wanted to hold the new baby- Robert Allan-- only 7 days old. Harry was excited to see him since he hadn't seen him since the day he was born! Doesn't look like he got much of a chance:)

Lexie has her serious face on. Must have been a big deal to get to hold the baby.

Christmas Day

Afew pictures from Christmas in PA. I'll try to add some more tomorrow.

Christmas Eve

I hope Lydia is just "layin a finger aside of her nose"

Nathan just got new braces. Levi's Santa hat has black fur. His hair is not really that dark.

I really like this last picture.

(The girl between Lydia and Lexie is Audrianna, their cousin--Traceys daughter)

We were at Chester and Kim's for Christmas Eve as usual. Kim's Mom was in Wash. DC with Andrea and her husband- But Tracy and her brother Jimmy and their Mom (Aunt Andrea)

were all there.

Sharing Apple Fritters

These pictures were taken the same night as the previous post.

Apple Fritter Night

Just a few pictures from apple fritter night at Mom and Dads. As ususal, Dad fried the fritters and we ate!!! This was the Saturday after Thanksgiving- so I guess I'm a little late in getting these posted. Now I need to post Christmas Eve at Chester's and Christmas Day.
