Christmas is Coming

Okay, I know that Christmas is still a few weeks away and it isn't Thanksgiving yet, but I am filled with eager anticipation! This is one of my favorite times of year!

We are getting ready for the annual Herr Thanksgiving tomorrow~it will be an evening filled with great food, fun times reminiscing about past years and did I mention good food?

The pics above were some that were snapped for our holiday cards! I wish the kids would have cooperated that well when we went to have pics taken as a family last night.....boy that was fun (note...I am saying that with a tinge of sarcasm). The photo lady didn't help matters by making faces behind the guy that was actually the photographer....which sent the kids into pales of uncontrollable laughter. Oh well, we will go back and try again.

Please keep the family around the corner from us in your prayers....their tobacco barn burnt this afternoon. JD was fascinated with the responding fire crews and spent some time talking with our old neighbor Adam with the Lampeter Fire Co.

Well, I hope that everyone is starting to enjoy the season and is taking the time to remember why we celebrate...Our Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ.

Jingles,

Chrissy

Monday Madness!!

Well, coming off of a busy weekend makes Monday kind of hum-drum, but very welcome!! We spent Friday at Hersheypark and the kids had a blast~they are roller coaster champs! Riley made us nervous because she enjoyed the superdooperlooper with her hands up and she preferred the front seat......I had to hold her in (I think more for my peace of mind...). Saturday we spent doing home renovations, actually Jimmy and our friend Rob hung drywall on our new bathroom and then we had a 30th b.day party for our friend Andrea that evening. Sunday was spent relaxing and taking Riley to a b.day party. Then Mom and Dad came for dinner in the evening. Great weekend!
