What a Busy Time At Home in PA!

I think we need to get back on the road just to relax!  Our schedule has been "crazy" ever since we returned to PA.  We have been doing lots of wonderful things with family, friends, etc., but there never seems to be time to just relax!  We have had 2 sleepovers with the 4 granddaughters, card playing times with my parents, a Christmas celebration at Masonic Homes with my parents, attended 2 beautiful Christmas musical programs, numerous meals with family and friends, 3 craft shows, 2 Christmas programs with Lanie's daughters, and the list goes on and on!  In between, we purchased Christmas gifts and I did scrapbook pages for the little ones of our 2 camping trips this past summer.  I guess this holiday season sounds like just about everyones - busy, chaotic, but you wouldn't what to miss any of the fun and excitement!

Tomorrow, Christmas Eve Day, we will be with our daughters and their families at Jamie's house for a day long celebration.  Jamie and Dane are great hosts and we appreciate their willingness to do Thanksgiving and Christmas each year.  Then on Christmas day we will stop in to see Bria and Cali's gifts in the morning and head to Lanie's house to see Sam and Katelyn's gifts.  A perfect way to spend the Christmas season!

We are planning to head back to Florida on Wednesday, Jan. 7 and will pick up Waldo at Lazydays, staying there until that Sunday.  Then the move along the west coast of Florida begins and we are so anxious. 

Our camping friends here at home, Fred and Doloris, just made reservations to join us near Venice the end of February for about 10 days.  We are so excited to have them spend time with us.  We also talked to Chuck and Melissa (we spent a month with them in Florida in the fall) and they are planning to leave Texas and come to Florida the beginning of February and we will spend 2 weeks together at Pine Island.  Then we will join up there again the 1st 2 weeks of March.  We always have so much fun together.

Have a very Merry Christmas and a healthy and Happy New Year filled with great adventures that create lasting memories!

Here are a few photos from this month at home -

A snowy wonderland from the deck of our apartment!

Another photo from our balcony!  Okay, it is beautiful
but I miss the warm temperatures and the swaying
palm trees.  I'd rather wear shorts and sandals then
heavy coats, scarves and boots!

Our youngest granddaughter, Katelyn, at her Pre-School
Christmas program.  Okay, I am prejudiced, but she is
so adorable!!! 

We took all four granddaughters to the Choo Choo Barn,
an annual outing last Friday.  They enjoy it!

They are "checking out" the circus display!

Then they all talked to Santa.  Some of them had a fairly
long list of things they wanted for Christmas!

This is a display at Wilbur Chocolate Factory in downtown
Lititz.  Every year they do a scene or characters and everything
is made out of chocolate.  These characters from Frozen
were formed with Rice Krispie Treats and then covered with
Chocolate, so they are totally edible!  Unbelievable!
