So, it’s April and I thought it was time to post pictures from Christmas! Enjoy!

Melina spent Christmas with us! Hopefully, next year Samantha and Tae will be able to join us too.

A fun time was had by all!

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! 🙂

Since no one except me actually visits this page… here are some baby flip flops I crocheted!

George, Earline, Samantha, and Melina came up for a visit. They spent a lot of time with family, enjoyed a trip to Wegman’s, and an outing to Letchworth State Park (#1 state park in the country!).

We are so glad that they were able to come up, and hope for more visits in the future.

In spite of the freezing weather and the threat of snow, the annual Easter Egg Hunt took place today at Grandma’s house! 

This was the largest scale egg hunt in the history of Omans’ family egg hunts, and Charissa found the last egg of the hunt…

Great job everyone!

We followed the egg hunt with a scalloped potato dinner. Great fun was had by all!

On Saturday, March 28, Austin participated in his Cub Scout Pinewood Derby and took home a first place trophy in his division! Great job Austin!

We gathered at the local Applebee’s to celebrate a milestone birthday. Happy 70th Mom!

Charissa and Kalista enjoyed the balloon lady.

Melissa was still recuperating from her surgery and Austin wasn’t feeling well, so they weren’t able to join us. Feel better soon guys.

We had a wonderful Christmas 2014. Nearly everyone was able to make it to Mom’s house for the big day. We missed Samantha, Tae, and Melina, but hopefully they will be able to join us next year!

Christmas dinner featured a soup buffet, a very creative meal that was enjoyed by all.

Notable events included Alicia graduating to the grown-up table (yay!), three sick kids who had to wear masks, and a trip to see “Into the Woods”.

Merry Christmas all, and see you next year!

I hope I’m doing this correctly. Here are some pictures of Melina

Everyone gathered at Mom’s house for our Thanksgiving feast. Well, almost everyone. Larry had an opportunity to spend Thanksgiving in Texas with an author he has supported for a while, and Melissa and Austin spent Thanksgiving in West Virginia on a mission trip.

There was plenty to eat . Charissa took the logical step of weighing herself before and after eating to monitor her food intake!

The most exciting  that happened was that the next generation has taken over the cleanup duties!

So, that was our Thanksgiving. See everyone at Christmas!
