Mooncusser grand opening party

Here I am with Penny, Wil, and Francine
Mooncusser tattoo has moved to a new location.....it looks great and has so much more space than the old shop. Here I am with Khristian at the grand opening party...I am so excited for him and Andrea!!!

The band keeping us entertained.

Francine and her fiance, Jake. This was my first time meeting him...he is very sweet!

Francine and I were constantly together growing up.......it was so fun to see her. We talked all night and had a great time. I am really looking foward to seeing her again soon....maybe a trip to see her in New York.

Happy New Year 2009!

2008 ended perfectly.........this is my new little neighbor, Nicholas. He was born on the 30th. This is him and his big brother, Lucas. Congratulations to Lisa and Ed and the whole family....a new baby is so exciting. And he lives close enough that I will be able to visit when I want and not start wanting one of my own!!!

We had a great Christmas day...loaded with gifts and family. We had Christmas dinner at my house this year..........next year maybe we will even have the walls painted.

Savannah showing of her new Northface jacket and UGG boots......Gigi loves her new rollerskates (she calls them rolladates)

While getting ready to decorate our tree......Cassidy's friend decided to decorate her!

Sean is trying to teach Cassidy how to use her new ripstick........this thing is very hard to get used to..............no one broke a leg, though!

Sad Anniversary:(

I can't believe it has been 1 year since my brother passed away. I miss Randy so much every day....there is so much to remind me of him...............

Holiday fun!

On Sunday we had a gingerbread house making party. I used to do this every year....the last couple of years we did not because of house constructions. Now that we have the big room opened up, even though it is not finished.......we have room to do this again. Here is Jadzia decorating her house...it fell apart, but was easily put back to gether.

Jadzia, Cassidy and Cassidy's friends goofing off after finishing their houses.

Savannah and Gianna putting their houses together.............we helped the younger kids put theirs together and then Savannah and Gianna did theirs.

Of course, just as much candy gets eaten as it gets put onto the houses.

Saturday we went to a yankee swap at my brother Stephen's house. Savannah is picking her number and the rest of my family waits patiently.

My dad, my sister and myself at the yankee swap.

Love you Markie!!

I can't believe my brother Mark has been gone for 6 years! I still miss him and think of him everyday. Here is a picture of him and Tyler. Tyler looks so little here with my guns n roses shirt on, smiling for me taking the picture! Give extra hugs today....tell your family and friends you love them!

Gobble Gobble!

We had a fun Thanksgiving......I had to work, but that didn't stop my sister from hosting a fantastic feast for the family! I had to be at work at two, so we ate at noon. Yum Yum! There was even plenty of vegan choices for me to eat!

Anna getting the food ready.

Mike, Sean, Cassidy.......goofing off as usual!

Mike watching the Celtics!

Cassidy and Uncle Big Guy!

I hope you all had a lovely holiday.............thanks for stopping in!

Peace!

Nothing going on.......

First snow fall......didn't stick but it was beautiful to see!

This is the Nauset High School boys soccer team getting ready for the Stat semi-finals game! My cousin Christopher is somewhere in this photo......he ends up playing the whole game. I was able to attend the division semi-final which they won (obviously to get to the States you have to win your division)...........unfortunately they lost this game.....but played well, and I am glad I got to see it!

Savannah and Sara at the game............it was FREEZING..........

On a not-so-cold day this week we went to a playground with our friends. The girls loved climbing this tree.....here are Jasmine and Jadzia. (Jasmine is our neighbor)

Cassidy up higher in the same tree......I love this picture. Ava (I work with her mom, they met us at the playground) absolutely loved Cassidy! We will have to get together again soon.
