Surprise Florida Trip to Ring in the New Year!

For Christmas this year we surprised the kids with a trip to Florida to spend a week with the Wasserman and Rick families in St. Augustine!! We have grown to love this condo complex in crescent beach and have made the best memories there! The kids were so excited, and we really enjoyed family time, friend time, sunshine and a little warmth! The pictures speak to the endless play time and fun had by all! What a memorable week away and great way to ring in 2024!! We just love the beach!!  The last day we were on our own and had the perfect family day including 10 uninterrupted hours of sunshine and beach walks!  Joe and I even got a run in on the beach together on the last day while Jack babysat his sisters!

 

Christmas 2023!

 Christmas 2023 was so wonderful! We got to celebrate the weekend before in Cleveland with the March family. We went tobogganing in Cleveland during our trip which was a huge hit!  We loved celebrating Christmas with an awesome party of Joe's parents' house!

We then spent Christmas Eve attending mass at Nativity and seeing lots of families in our community and then headed to Mom and Bill's for an epic Ricke Christmas Eve Bash!

Christmas Day, we spent at home and had another super relaxing Christmas day home! We slowly opened gifts, shared a nice breakfast, played with all the new toys, and ended up cleaning out all the toys in the basement per the kids request to "reorganize!"

The day after Christmas we headed to Mom and Bills again for our annual Wetterau Christmas day - brunch, gifts, playing board games, and dinner! It was a relaxing and perfect day being together! 

How blessed we feel to have had another Christmas season full of family and wonderful memories made!
