A Philly Christmas!

5 of the cousins in NYC
Those are cool ornaments!
Nana and her grandkids (L didn't want to be in pic)

Uncle Chris, Pop-pop and some of the kiddos with funny face the snowman!! A great day enjoying the snow!

We flew to PA at 6am on 12/24. A perfect flight with someone else's perfect kids (really, they've never been that good traveling!) We then played in Nana's backyard which has a HUGE hill that was covered in 8-10" of snow. She even had a tobaggan for us to try. Snow angels, snow balls, basically a blast for our TX boys! We then attempted the children's christmas eve service. Not one of our smarter moves....we had all been up since 4am. Enough said.

Christmas day we opened gifts from all of us to Kedersha's and nana and pop-pop. Spent time with the NJ Kedersha's. A really fun, laid back day. Lots of Wii Winter Olympics, playing with new toys and some yummy food. On the 26th we journeyed to the Jersey Shore to see S's aunt and cousins with the NJ Kedersha's. Again a nice day eating, playing and hanging out with people we see every year at best!

On the 27th, I was awakened by one of the boys..."mom, it is too dark in our room" It was pitch black, like can't see your hand in front of your face dark...power out. The wind had been so bad it knocked trees down on power lines. We went back to sleep until 7ish and then bundled up. Power returned around 10:30am...thank goodness. We then had more family over for dinner and celebrating.

On the 28th, we ventured into NYC. It was a perfect day. Just cold enough to remind you where you were, but not so cold us TX whimps couldn't handle it. We walked around, saw Rockefeller Center, NBC, St.Patrick's Cathedral and had the great experience of seeing The Rockettes Christmas Spectacular in Radio City! Thanks to Chris and Steph for our day!!!

Such a fun time was had!! Merry Christmas!
