Another Birthday Celebration

A visit from Santa

Cheers!

Is that really rootbeer?

On Wednesday, December 19th, Lindsey's Birthday, we treated her to a night out on the town. She first got to pick a restaurant for dinner. Her choice was TGIFridays. Then we went to see the Princess on Ice Show. We all had a great evening. Dinner was good and the show was wonderful. Both kids were well behaved (believe it or not) and they never took their eyes off the ice show. Lindsey bought a princess wand with her birthday money and Anthony got a sword. We even had a surprise visitor sitting right across from us at dinner. The kids couldn't believe that Santa, yes Santa Claus was there. He answered all of their many questions and Lindsey even sat on his lap, first time in 9 years. Overall, we had a great evening enjoyed by all!

Happy Birthday Lindsey

Lindsey, Phillip, Christopher


Our Princess


On Sunday, December 16th we celebrated Lindsey's 9th birthday. We had lots of snow but that didn't stop all the partying. Lindsey had a Hannah Montana cake. She received gifts of money, clothes, snow globes, gift cards, and tickets for the Disney Princess on Ice Show. We can't believe she is 9yrs old already, where did the time go?

Today we went to the Autumn Leaf Festival in Clarion. I met up with two of my college roommates, Amie and Tammy - we missed you Holly. It was great to see them and see all of our kids play together. Lindsey didn't come with us, she wanted to stay in town for a birthday party. Anthony loved watching the parade and catching candy. The weather was perfect - sunny and warm, we even got a bit sunburnt. Here are some pictures of our fun filled day.

A Day at the Pumpkin Patch







This past weekend we went to get pumpkins and mums at Countryside Farms in Ohio. The kids enjoyed the nice weather and being able to run around. We got three pumpkins and a painted Sponge Bob pumpkin. Then when we got home Anthony painted with watercolors all over the sponge bob pumpkin, he wanted it to look scary.

Happy Anniversary




We had a surprise 60th anniversary party for Ronnie's grandparents this past Saturday. They were sure surprised!! Since we were all there we took some family photos. The kids had lots of fun swimming in the pool and relaxing in the hot tub. Congratulation again to Grandma and Grandpa Mancini on 60 years of marriage - you both are in inspiration to us, we love you.

Anthony's Kindergarten Orientation and 1st Day






Anthony has had a great start in Kindergarten. He loved orientation, the bus ride and his first day. No first day jitters or tears(only from mommy), he wouldn't even hug or kiss us goodbye. His wonderful teacher is Miss Bober and he knows some kids in his class from last year in Pre-K. I am so glad he is excited, not like his sister when she went to Kindergarten. One of the photos is of Anthony's friend Jeffrey and of course one is with Miss Bober.

Lindsey is a 3rd Grader!




Lindesy is now a 3rd grader at JFK Elementary school. Her teacher is Mrs. Noviello, room 207. Most of her friends from her second grade class are with her again this year. She is looking forward to an exciting and fun filled year. Here are some pictures while waiting for the bus.
