Family night with the kids from out of state

Can you say - OVERLOAD!

Ryan hits the (Christian) jackpot

200 tickets out of the Wheel of Fortune
at Chuck E Cheese! Our kids will love him forever.

Black Friday takes on new meaning

Seriously, this is ridiculous - don't you think?! There will be
precautions next year, like staying home or not working. As one person
mentioned today - I hope they got their freaking Elmo.

Too much dancing

Kayla spun out and busted her lip.

Kids go crazy

Joshua and Kayla go nuts and dance to the miniature house that plays
music to lights. Thanks to Sandy Balocca for a great gift last year -
that keeps on giving!

Thanksgiving @ the Nelson's

Joshua and Kayla hang ornaments on the tree. Listening to Christmas
music.

Stand by Me: performed by street musicians who never met

Check out this video...put together by street musicians around the world. Amazing.

For our friends in Lititz, PA

This year we may have started a family tradition on Thanksgiving Eve.
We put up outside lights, popped popcorn, and let the kids pick out a
movie to watch.

Included in our outside lights is a Moravian star.

My bro, wife, and their twins

Ever want to meet my brother? Check out the video...can you pick him out?

Our family blog: light show hits home

My wife just updated our family blog. This is what Lisa wrote...

Yesterday, Joshua (our almost 4 year old son) was coloring with stencils at the table while I was picking up in the living room. He called to me "Mom, look at my picture. It's the Christmas light show!" Holy cow -- for those of you have seen the light layout, the stars along the top are where the colored snowflakes are. And, Joshua informed me that the banners are supposed to be the rolling snowscapes -- can you tell our family has been eating, thinking, breathing Christmas light show??? Joshua is SOOO pumped!
