Christmas Eve 2011

First Christmas in PA since 2004!

    

LOVED spending it with our cousins and family!

It helps that Choochie's give the best gifts!*

      

*OR we like to torture each other (as sisters/moms), I'm not sure which!

  

    

Halloween

Pumpkin Patch

Halloween and "fall" are my favorites!  There's nothing like a trip to the pumpkin patch!

This year we went to Pagers in Sarver, PA

   

   

    

     

September

Fall soccer started in September.  The girls play for Freeport Area Soccer Association.  This is Emma's last fall in U10, and Sam is again in U8 ~ with mommy as one of her coaches!  

We celebrated daddy's birthday with a few people joining us for the Steelers game, and this cake designed to look like his favorite candy (of the moment, it has since changed, lol). 

My sisters, cousin Michael and I spent a day at Kennywood and had a BLAST!

 

Emma & I got to attend a Penguins pre-season game (thanks, Aunt Janet!)

And Annalie May turned 1 on September 27!

   

End of summer fun
