Moving Day!

Oh HAPPY DAY! At last the long awaited MOVING DAY!!!! What a long strange trip it's been! Thank you so much to everyone that helped us move in. We are loving our new home, our space, and being together once again. We are starting to get back to "normal" and settle in. We like our neighborhood and have already made friends with the neighbors next door. We are getting plugged into our church and meeting some great people from there as well. We miss you all in PA terribly, but are loving the TX family, sunshine and warm weather!

New Year Newton Style

Bringing in the New Year Newton Style... 2 days after closing on the house we thought it would be a perfect time to have a PARTY!!! We had a house full of 20 family members and it was AWESOME! I loved having all of our brother's, sis-in-loves, mom's, dad's, my aunt, nieces, and nephews together to bring in 2012! We partied around the boxes ;) All the kiddos stayed up until midnight and enjoyed toasting with some strawberry cider! It was a wonderful evening and I'm looking forward to many more get togethers in the future!

Christmas in Wichita Falls, TX

We had a Very Merry Christmas at Uncle Ricky and Aunt Shenas' with Nana and Pappy. It's the first Christmas since Courtney was a baby that we were all together. Santa found us and the kids loved every second of the day!
Snugglebuggle time!
