Merry Christmas!!!!!

Merry Christmas to all my friends and family who follow our happenings.....Santa was here and the boys had a great morning. We are now getting ready to head back down to pop-pop's house for lunch and than over to A.Carol's house for a visit. Here are some photos of this morning. Hope everyone had a great Xmas morning.

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

Here we sit on Saturday night....(it is snowing, snowing, snowing).....at Steve's new bar in his newly finished basement, watching his new tv's, listening to Xmas music...the kids are outside playing in the snow and all the Bodnar's are sleeping over! Life is good! To think that last year at this time we were on the beach! Crazy...Cheers to all my friends in the southern hemisphere!

O' Christmas Tree......

Well, today I worked at the Xmas tree farm from 8am-430pm. Needless to say I am exhausted! It is a long, busy, cold day. But, it is fun. Most people are in a great mood, because they are in the festive spirit shopping for a Xmas tree. It started snowing today, which turned everything, colder, wet, slushy and a bit miserable (and it is still snowing!) Makes it hard to work when your fingers are cold and wet and pruny. I came home with wet pants, wet hair (even though I had a hat on), wet gloves.....made myself a bourbon and gingerale and took a hot spa bath! I am now on my 2nd bourbon and gingerale and I am much warmer and no longer wet and I'm feeling good! I still have some homework to do, but, I guess I am in the mentality of "it will get done when it gets done." Anyways, Happy Holidays to all, Happy shopping, Happy Decorating, Happy Xmas tree shopping..........cheers!

A great weekend!

This weekend, was so-so on Saturday, weather wise, but Sunday turned out to be an absolutely gorgeous fall day! We pretty much spent the day outside, hanging up loads of laundry, raking up the thousands of leaves that have fallen on our lawn and Justin came down to play with the boys. They spent the majority of their time playing football. Fun was had by all. I than had Lori and Jessica join us and I made a grilled chicken dinner w/salad and broccoli and everyone went home with full bellies. Oh and today is my niece Jessican's birthday! 11years old today. Which meant 11years ago we were in Australia for Derek and Leannes wedding!

Happy birthday Jessica!!!!!!

Penn State Weekend!!!!

We were all Happy Valley bound this past weekend as we took the campers and the kids and extended family up to Penn State to cheer on the Lions against Ohio State. (unfortunately they lost), but we still had a great time. It was cold, cold, cold on Thurs. night and Friday night, but by Saturday afternoon, the skiies turned blue and white and the sun came out and it was a gorgeous fall afternoon!!! I have some photos and more to follow...We Are..Penn State!!!!! (and for those who have never been to a Penn State football weekend, there are hundreds of campers who drive hours to get to Happy Valley and the purpose of the flags you see is to help people find you. We have chosen a bright green Moosehead beer flag. It worked! We could see it from up near the stadium and nearby campers were telling people to look for the green flag with a Moosehead on it!)

Come on Phillies!!!!

Ok, so we lost last night, and at present time, we are again losing. Come on Phllies! Mike, Chris, Steve and Tyler are down at the game cheering them on. I guess this is why we play a 7 game series!

Here we go Phillies, here we go!!!!

Happy Halloween and GO PHILLIES!!!! Here we sit, on a rainy Saturday night, the kids have gone trick or treating and their bags are full of candy. (Of course the parents walked behind the kids with beverages in their hands) Jen and Chris's house is full of Phillies fans and 1-Yankees fan and at current time, we are winning!!!! 3-0!! Wooooooo-hooooooo go Phillies!!! Tomorrow morning, Mike, Chris, Steve and Tyler are heading down to Philly, to go the game 4 of the world series. They are also contending with the Eagles game so, they are leaving very early to get a parking spot. They will than go downtown to waste some time waiting for the game. I'm certain a good time will be had by all! And for my southern hemisphere friends, we "fall" back in time tonight, so we will now be 16hours apart.
