we're in PA for Christmas with matt's family for a couple days. what a nice break from harrisonburg living... we came up early friday morning, leaving the burg around 5:20am we made the 4 hour trek to quakertown, pa....
we were able to hang out with some family for a while and then some of matt's college and even highschool buddies on friday night. the schmidts even fed us dinner! what a treat!!! schmidty may have a hard time parting with a postage stamp, but he sure can provide a nice meal.... (you'd have to ask him about that one)
saturday - today that is- has been a real relaxing day! all morning we just hung out with the boys... ok so this is an older picture... i need to work on getting some newer ones- WHICH i did try today...only the littlest one you see here, was not very cooperative! :) These are 3 of our nephews... Jarod, Zachary, and Tyler...silly boys...
so, we spent part of the morning hanging out and playing games with them... then around lunch time headed over to Matt's parents for the rest of the day and evening...
truly a relaxing time filled with way more than enough good food, conversation, and wild boys running around! hahaha
now, here i am once again trying to get some tips on making a blog page... Nell-Marie, remember you said you were more than happy to help! I may be calling real soon...
Tonight we spent some time talking about traditions we've had growing up and thinking about what sort of traditions we might have with our kids... wow- lots of decisions... do you do the 'Easter Bunny' thing, the 'Tooth Fairy' thing, the 'Santa thing', you know all those'things' we grew up with as kids, but now we 'know better' and do we pass on that tradition for tradition sake, or not? i don't have the answer to all of these right now, but it has really got me thinking about how decisions like this that we begin to make, effect our children and most likely or children's children... Lord help us!
in between all the tradition talk, there was a constant poker game going on with matt and his older neice and nephew... i tell you what those kids know their game, only serious players need attend those games!

You are a blogger!!! Welcome! Sounds like you are having fun. Chris and I are having a blast. We just finished a table full of food and toasting together to start our day. Tonight we'll open gifts, sing songs, and read the Christmas story. I love it! I have been in tears some this morning just feeling overly blessed.
You are a part of that.
Love to you!
Merry Christmas!!
