Coffee for the road...

It's tradition to stop at the local Wawa's,
before heading home,
to get Mama her coffee for the road...

With Aunt Martha...

After visiting Byer's Choice
we stopped by Tim and Jamie's house
to see their renovations and T.J.'s room.

Mama really liked Tim and Jamie's reading chair!

Little T.J.'s room. Jamie's sister, Leah, painted
all the Curious George murals on the walls

Making rolls for dinner

Sudoku-ists

Byer's Choice and our family picture

Byer's Choice- home of the Caroler figurines

Which one?

I found my new instrument! Organ-grinding is the thing for me....
There was a German organ-grinder just inside the Byer's Choice door, cranking away on Christmas carols! I had pulled out my camera to take his picture, and he motioned me over and made me start cranking! He added his top hat for the full effect :0)

Let's go fly a kite!

Well....Marley was dead as a doornail, to begin with...

Our annual jaunt to Lederach and Skippack

Every year Aunt Martha takes us out and about to the quaint shops in Lederach and Skippack. The stores are decorated for Christmas, some of them have Christmas music playing, and a few had some goodies out to sample!

Happy Thanksgiving!

Carrie the Pilgrim
has graced our
Thanksgiving table
for 18 years!

18 years of tradition....

We left for the 12-hour trip Pennsylvania on Wednesday. The weather was great and we made one of the best times ever in all the 18 years of this speacial tradition!
Thanksgiving dinner was absolutely delicious, and we enjoyed relaxing with family :0)

Rolling out the Thudders, only this year they were very light!

Evvie is sporting a "Shirley Temple" look

Oohing and Ahhing over the Schultz 2007 model!
He was dressed for the occasion in
a "My first Thanksgiving" shirt, little Levis, and brown baby oxfords :0)
