February 2011

February was a fun month but a cold month! Adam performed wonderfully in another orchestra concert. I got a orchid plant for him for Valentines day.....

.....and he got some wonderfully smelling lotion for me!

The snow was a significant part of our winter - Lots of shoveling and a really cool dragon made by our neighbors.

Fun Times in January!

Mom came to visit us in January and she did not have the warmest weather to greet her! This was one of our warmer days while the sun was shining!

We had a blast thought with indoor games:-) bowling, basketball and good food!

We had a lovely lunch with Fran and Al and it was good to catch up! We also got to spend the morning with friends from church who just had triplets - it is a full and loving house!

Of course a trip to Oklahoma Joes was in order - Yummy Yummy fries!

We spent an evening at the KC symphony listing to good music and had a delicious dinner at Michael Smiths

Bubble tea, cupcakes and Moroccan food - a great last night while my mom was visiting!

Christmas in PA

We spent the beginning of the Christmas holidays in Philadelphia with Adam's brother Rob. We ate some good food and got to see where Rob works at DiBrunos. Very fun and very yummy food!! Adam and I spent some time touring the downtown and got to do a little window shopping at the Macy's downtown.

Bob and Liz picked us up from Rob's and we got to see the new house they are building outside of Phili and then headed back to Hershey to decorate the tree. I loved these pictures of Adam and his mom!

Adam's height made his a perfect candidate for putting the star on the top of the tree!!

We enjoyed Christmas morning all together!

Mike came over several times during the Christmas break and we loved having him around. We spent an afternoon at Gettysburg. It was cold and windy but a great way to learn about the battle. They really have done a wonderful job making it educational and interesting!

We met my Aunt Linda, Uncle Merritt and cousin Amanda at a winery outside of Hershey. We ate a little cafe and then did the self-guided tour around the grounds and where actually they make the wine.

Fun times in Hershey:-)

The Cold Months

Since the cold months should be coming to an end I figured I should go ahead and finish this post:-) The winter months were so fun with ice-skating and lots of fun Christmas events!

Dinners out and orchestra shows!

Christmas baking at Susies - tons of cookies!!!

Adam is a happy camper with cookies!

We got a new kitchen island to replace the one with the blue top. It made the kitchen an even more fun place to make those perfectly round pancakes!
