Bowling




I am not so good at bowling. Turns out some of us (Elaine, Lee) are pretty good & Josie has potential. The rest of us will be out there just for fun. But another chance to do something we don't typically do. Plus the shoes...ewwww!


Miniature Golf







Vacationing in Naples, we headed to miniature golf. It got competitve (Josie), but I came ahead with the win. We treated ourselves to ice cream to cool down afterwards. Excellent way to spend an afternoon.

Christmas at The Arces










More food, more drink, more presents & most importantly more good friends. We spent a wonderful day with Kathy, Al, Debbie, Wayne & all our kids. Yummo food, the hot tub & Cleveland Cavs with a win...a great Christmas Day!

Christmas morning




As mentioned in our previous post, we had a few gifts to open up- let the celebrations roll on. Fortunately our kids let us sleep in...and we rolled out of bed by 9:30! Fa La La La La La La La La.

Santa Please follow these directions




Good Jewish family that we are...we prepped for Santa (or I should say Josie did)so cute.

ps- Santa did stop for those of us who have been nice!!!!

Christmas Eve at The Benetti's





Our Christmas Eve tradition has been to hang with the Benetti Family for WONDERFUL food, conversation & all around merryment. Dee is always a fantastic hostess & it was great to catch up with the McIntoshes as well...we are so grateful to be included in their celebration.

Christmas Eve Day Brunch





The Holiday was kicked off with a gorgeous day at The Erickson's courtyard for a yummy potluck brunch. So great to relax with friends- the kids played with scooters, bean bag toss etc. We ended with a secret Santa gift exchange. We scored Love Actually & Elf by snagging away from the Wein family (sorry about that- but you gotta do what you gotta do!!!)
