Ice Skating

We had a blast ice skating at Polar Ice House in Cary.  Thank you Aunt Lana and Uncle Charles for the gift. The Serrano family joined and which made it even more fun.

 

Christmas - WOW!

Santa brought some major surprises and Mom and Dad nailed it with a big trip reveal to LONDON! I love all their excitement and squealing.  They have spent days playing, building, organizing, researching and planning.

Chrismas 2019

Christmas day was a festive blur of activity and excitement.  I can hardly capture the excitement and joy of the day in a post (so I will spread it out over a few😂). The winning gift of the year was Peter's colleague who decided to show up at work and send Peter home to be with his family - truly a sincerely heartfelt gift for our entire family.

Until Next Year

Thank you for all the fun giggles and memories! 

We will miss you Elfie!

Christmas Eve

We have had a magical day anticipating Santa! We started with an early last visit with Santa at the mall, did some baking and cooking, played with legos, dolls and playmobil, finished off the day with a yummy stew, A Christmas Carol and Night Before Christmas with Mimi. 

Kranz Christmas

Mimi hosted the Kranz' Christmas at her houses.  The boys cooked up a storm - tenderloin, carrots, risotto, potatoes - DELISH! We had some time for air hockey, Secret Santa and Hanukkah Harry!

Johnson Christmas

After the Santa Train, Grandma Mary and Papa D hosted Christmas at their condo in Cary!  They made this incredible potato soup for lunch with cornbread and meatballs for sides.  It was super yummy.  Then the kids opened gifts and they were all super excited.  It was a super sweet way to celebrate the holidays together.

Holiday Party

We hosted our annual holiday party this weekend.  Peter outdid himself with the spread.  He had some of the usual suspects (meats & cheeses galore) and mixed in a few new creations including the tenderloin crostini, tuna tartare and the Merry Mule. The kids had a blast playing games and nibbling on lots of treats. It was a perfect gathering of friends and family.

Santa Train

Another perfect morning on the New Hope Valley Railway.  Santa was eager to take our letters and listen to our requests. The kids had a blast finding lost reindeer and eating yummy treats from Grandma Mary and Papa D.!
