Thanksgiving Skating Party

We have starting renting an hour of ice around holidays for a family skate day where we can go with family and friends for a nice healthy activity where the kids all have fun. We actually rented 1.5 hours and I thought that was too long but the kids loved it. A few that looked alike had to be kicked off the ice for the zamboni. If you want to be included for some Christmas Skating let us know. Come watch you will enjoy yourself. Bring a friend! I see where Anthony is taking this....family hockey game so we can all sit down for a family dinner minus a few teeth!!! Jean come and join us if you get a few teeth knocked out you might feel more at home in Lowville!!!! LOL!!!

Celebrating Papa's Special Day

Two, Four, eight ....seventy-six are only numbers but the time spent with someone you love is unmeasurable. Papa enjoyed his birthday as confusing as it might have been with all the young ones around. They all seemed to simmer right down when it came to cake time and it is so funny to watch how each child seems to know their place. Seems like it was just yesterday when the twins took a place on Papa's lap to help with the candles and now it is Nick and Ella. Jo Ann bought a sign at the NYS Fair this year that reads: "Grandma's House - where cousins go to become friends." I think this says it all. Mark sits at the adult table making adult conversation but not to worry as the little ones had Sammy to entertain them. It reminded me of my kids playing with Jim, Jean and Jerome when they were little. Nana even came up to spend the day - two outings in one week she will be exhausted in a good way!!! Happy birthday Dad, to those that couldn't make it we missed you!!!

The holiday before Christmas!!! Happy Thanksgiving

Some maybe pushing up Christmas but Thanksgiving is the REAL holiday before Christmas and one should stop and give thanks before hanging the candy canes. We are all so lucky and to those turkeys in the family that have Christmas decorations up now......here is the bird!!!!

Dad & Mom Front Row Center with Vice President

Okay you know Dad's political career was going places when he was hanging with Hillary Clinton but today it reached an all time high when he sat front row center in front of our Vice President Biden. Heck his first name even fits into the family - Joe!!! While I didn't get a picture of him shaking hands I can tell you it was pretty impressive and he was very good. Bill Owen who the VP was there to support did a wonderful job as well. I guess when his daughter introduces herself as Jennah it also helped me support him. Nice family and very good with the people. No wonder Dad supports him!!!!
