Some video

Tom figured out how to get the video we have taken of Kira off his cell phone so here are a few of our favorites...
These two were taken just this week. She has just started to roll over!

This video was taken when she was just starting to "talk"

This last one is of her talking now...

Snow Day!!!

What a weekend for snow! How fun!! Last time I remember it snowing like this, was 1996 and I spent most of the day helping Dad shovel out the driveway (this was before he had a snow blower). Well, we decided to brave the cold and wind to take Kira out to experience her first snow day.

Here she is with Daddy getting ready to go out...
"Baby it's cold outside..."
The lovely family....(Tom's got his hand over her mouth b/c it was really windy)


Playing inside...

Little cutie pie...

Christmas Eve: Sherf family (Tom's Dad's side)
Christmas Day: Dehart family and Maro family
Dec. 26: Yoder family
Dec. 27: Hymn sing (I am running this as a senior sponsored event in my church)
Dec. 31: New Year's Eve party at Dehart's (I doubt I'll make it til midnight)

The rest of the year: recover from all the parties

Thanksgiving Madness

Well, thanksgiving has come and gone and it has been another year of great family gatherings! The thanksgiving celebration started the Sunday before thanksgiving with the Maros at a country club. The Maros normally have their party at the Grandparents house but Tom's grandmother has been sick so the decision was made to ease her burden and have dinner out with everyone.
The happy couple....
Grandmom Maro. Kira was getting a little tired of being out at this point, hence the lower lip.
She is thinking, "no more pictures! Take me home!!"
The ladies of the Maro family.
Thanksgiving day morning, I took Kira out to Philly for the parade with Tom's mom and step dad. She really seemed to enjoy herself. A good time had by all. The proud grammy.
Later that day...we drove over to see Tom's Dad and family. Unfortunately, this was the only picture I took that night. This is Tom's step-mom holding Kira.
The next day, we drove over to my parents house for the Wallin family gathering.
Then, on Saturday we celebrated thanksgiving with the Dehart family. The Dehart's are Tom's step-father's side of the family. Every year they get together at a bowling alley and then meet afterwards at the Dehart house for desert and fellowship.
The Dehart cousins all together for a shot.
Finally, on Sunday, Mom graciously allowed me to use her house to host the end of the season choir party. Family is wonderful isn't it? Can't wait for Christmas to do it all over again! Plus, at Christmas, we will see the Yoders (my mom's side) who haven't seen Kira yet.
