🛫 PA to AZ 🛬

We always enjoy going to Arizona in January for the ski trip⛷ that Brother Russell and

Sister Elisabeth get together...and to see Kaitlyn and Justin!

Always try on your clothes before you go to make sure everything still fits.

Umm .....sorry Dad.......

We arrived in Phoenix, Arizona around 11am,  got our luggage, and headed down to

Kaitlyn's house for 10 days of fun!

Happily waiting for our luggage :D

When we got to Justin and Kaitlyns we ate a delicious meal and then went skeet shooting!

It was my first time to go skeet shooting...

 

    

The boys really enjoyed Justin and Kaitlyns new puppies.

Boots and Bullets

Ski trip is coming....after the next post.

~Ice Skating and The Choo Choo Barn~

 Ice skating is always fun with family and friends!⛸
  Uncle Samuel, Aunt Robin, Nathan, and Genia were in town so we met them, Aunt Jennifer, and Patrick at the Lancaster ice rick.

Racing around the rink

 

 

    

    

 

 

 

Everyone had a blast!

After we went ice skating we went to the Choo Choo Barn.🚆

       

   

  

                  

Tis' The Season

We always exchange little gifts with about 25 of our amish neighbors at Christmas time.
  It is always fun to see what they bring to the house. 
They have such creative ideas and beautiful cards!

This card was made by the owners of Shady Lane Impressions on Beaver Dam Road.
It is a really neat card making and craft store.
You should visit some time!

Homemade bread, jam, pies, seasoned pretzels and cheese, party mix, lots of cookies, a candle in a drinking jar with potpourri, apples, oranges, caramel popcorn, brownie mix in a jar, etc.
(Some items not pictured - they were eaten!)

For our gift we layered hot cocoa mixes in a jar with chocolate dipped spoons to stir.












Joy and Lillia rode their bikes 7 miles delivering the mixes.
