| We were hit by the big storm last night and are having fun being snowed in. We had a trip to Boston planned for this weekend and obviously, our flight was cancelled. It was quite a job to dig out! |











| January was a busy month, but was pretty ordinary. Besides celebrating our 9th anniversary, we didn't have too many blog-worthy events. We did get to stay over in Philly one night and that was a fun getaway. Here's a random photo from that trip. |







| Carrie recently celebrated her first birthday! You can leave her a comment on her parent's blog if you'd like. |















| On New Year's Day, we got together with Brock's family to celebrate Christmas. Carrie was wearing her holiday dress. |




| Lael and Carrie got matching fleaces! |



| Jaden got his own digital camera. |



| After lunch, some of us took a short walk and played in the snow. |









| A few weekend photos of Carrie and our Christmas tree. |









| On Wednesday, Tim and Cherie hosted a Christmas party with a delicious fondue spread! |


| It was Carrie's first Christmas! |




| Bev sewed PJs for everyone. Bec and I look extra-cute in our matching pajama pants! |




| Megan and Audrey enjoying a good book. |







| A couple weekends ago, we had the chance to spend a Saturday with our niece, Audrey. Becca helped her create Christmas ornaments for her parents. |


| They turned out very nicely! |


| After that, we headed to Easton, PA to visit the Crayola Factory. Here we are on the way with some silly faces. |



| There were a lot of stations where you could work on projects. |






| The National Canal Museum was located in the same building and Audrey also liked those exhibits. Here she is playing with a water table where you could setup your own route for the boats. |





| Community Group Christmas Party |


| Last week, we had a Christmas party with our church community group, so we broke out our festive holiday sweaters. |


| There was a "now you have it, now you don't" white elephant gift exchange. |



| Joel ended up with bath stuff and I got some sweet ninja climbing claws. I've already climbed several trees and an office building and they work great! |



| Danielle got a little wooden bird and accidentally left it at our house. Don't worry, we'll get that back to you! |








What a beautiful evening filled with family, friends, snow, love, and cookies! Jon and Susanna are finally married...the wedding was gorgeous, the couple was perfect and the snow made everything so pretty.
Jon and Susanna got married in Bethlehem, PA. Here is a video and a few photos of their wedding.

| Our church had a carnival-themed Christmas party for the high school kids, so we volunteered to help out. There were all kinds of carnival games to play and, if you won enough tickets, you could trade them in for a chance to throw a pie at a leader or put a leader in the dunk tank. |




| Danielle after a direct hit. |
