It's All About Family!!

I have decided to make this blog just for Family!! This is a great opportunity to update everyone what the Letner family is up to!! You can still check out my Crafty Blog (WingAndAPrayer Creations) - the link is on the left. Also, I only post a couple pictures in my post, but you can view the photo albums in the link to the left also!!!

To start off - we had a WONDERFUL Christmas!!! We started the holidays taking a trip to PA to visit with family!

We got to visit with my in-laws. We got to see all but 2 of Dave's sisters, visit with his Mom, and see cousins & nieces! It was a great visit! It has prompted the planning of a Family Reunion, which will be planned by Samantha and me, in August! It will be GREAT!







We stayed at Heather and Alan's new house! They did a GREAT job renovating it!!


The weather was snowy and roads were not good, so Heather and I got a lot of baking done! We made Snowflake cut outs (which Heather just had to sample), butter balls, Heather learned to make Lady Locks, and we made Buckeyes for Alan!!
Yikes - looks like a bad hair day for me there!!



Heather and I also took advantage of the bad weather and made wreaths to put on Mom's (Grandma Karen) and Grandma & Grandpap Phillips' graves. They turned out really nice.

We got the supplies at Pat Catan's - spent less than $14!!! Mom would be proud!!

We took them up to the cemetary and it started to snow!!!
So glad we got to experience some of the white stuff while we were there, but it was definitely good to get on the plane on Monday and watch the snow fall as we took off to head back to the warmth of Florida!!

We had stopped at Uncle Eddie's before going to the cemetary and that's when it started to snow - Hey Fat Man!!! The weather got too bad eventually, so we didn't get to go hang at the Baden Legion and wish all our friends there a Merry Christmas!!





Dave got to relax a bit and hang with T-Bone (Toby) - one of Heather and Alan's "babies" - their Basset Hounds! They are so comical!!









Heather and I got to go to Hozak's tree farm and visit their Christmas "barn" where they have lots of trees decorated. We did this last year and got ornaments for our trees - so, it looks like it is going to become a tradition!!

We had a great time and we really hated to leave - except to get out of the cold weather! Next time we see Heather and Alan it will be when we are leaving for our Cruise in May!! WOOOHOOOO!!


Then, we had Christmas back home in Florida!! Christmas Eve we went to church and then had Justin, Krista, & Charlee, and Krista's Mom, Shannon, and also Libby, Marcia, and Bella come over. We had such a great time!! Here are a few pictures!!




So, after the kids opened up their presents from Mrs. Santa (which she brings pajamas every Christmas Eve) - it was off to bed to wait for Santa!!!

Charlee on Christmas Morning!! What a Cutie Pie!!






This is what is all about!!!!








Merry Christmas Everyone!!! When's Santa coming again?!!!!
