Shoveling 2017 December 30

The first significant snow fall on the second to the last day of the year. It's nice to have 3 strapping fellows to go out and shovel. I did let them sleep in their nice warm beds though - Get it? ;-)

Home for CHRISTMAS 2017- Unwrapping

A great time visiting Lorain, nice to get back home and watch the kids unwrap. Most of their gifts were the guinea pigs, and computer.

Sunday morning breakfast, 8 days before Christmas

This is Sunday morning, the kids making breakfast with a shot of the tree at the end. This is the first year we put it by the fire place as there is no longer room in the front room with our big couch.

Beach 2017

We only went to the beach one time this year. This was an AWESOME beach about an hour away. It was a beautiful day. The beach was at Moraine State Park.
