Christmas 2012

Here are some very quick and abbreviated highlights from Christmas:

•  We went to see Grammy and Poppa at their new house in Quarryville, PA
•  Andrew, Abby, Sam, Leah, and Uncle Rich joined us there
• We got to see Sue-Sue and meet Baby Benjamin as well as visit with Pete and Meg
• The kids loved the horses and buggies since Grammy and Poppa live in the heart of amish country
• it snowed several times and the kids still talk about sledding and throwing snowballs at Poppa
• it was awesome to have so much time with the family and really bond with Sam and Leah
• Aunt Abby brought her pointe shoes for Emma to try on and she enjoyed going up on pointe
• there was lots of cooking and baking time with Grammy
• the drive took exactly 12 hours both directions and the kids were awesome in the car
• Jacob went to urgent care twice for his ears
• Rich, Mike, Abby, and Andrew went into Philly for some authentic cheesesteaks 
• We missed Ben and Erin so much!
• We found my wedding dress and Emma was thrilled to try it on
• Jonah enjoyed playing with the Hess trucks
• The kids and men went on a train ride across the country side. Jonah could not have been happier!
• Jacob took his first steps while we were there
• Wonderful trip!!!
