Matt got a guitar. Mike got something on his finger. Alli got olives. Nick doesn't get it.

Maggie got a squeaky toy and Night Vision eyes.

Off from work until Wednesday after Christmas! Pat & Steve invited the family to their home on Saturday 12/26 for a Christmas Extravaganza!!! There will be flame eaters, elephants, astronauts, sea monsters...

Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow...

We left Reading, PA Friday evening to avoid driving in the snow. Good thing, Maryland received approximately 2 feet of snow, give or take a snow drift. It was beautiful. The snow started around 9pm Friday evening and continued straight through Saturday into Sunday.  Sadly the Connaire and Fries families could not get through. Philly and South Jersey got hammered.

What was better, the electricity went out for about 9 hours. Good thing there were teenagers on hand to do our bidding. To flush the toilets we had to trek out through the snow to the hot tub, fill the pitchers and bring it to the throne (o_O).

 Nick Borolla, Taylor Connaire & Alli Owens are given a break to keep DHS from taking action.

Who let the dogs out?

Hope, Mick & Maggie sent outside to 'do their business'.

Getting ready to go south to Maryland this weekend.  Mike & Julie are hosting a Christmas Party for the family. Nancy & Paul are accomodating some travellers also. Just hope we do not get the predicted 6 inches of snow they're threatening!  Hopefully I'll have some pictures to post after the weekend.
