Celebrating Kate's Completion of Her Prelims!

Poly-City Game

Papa, Aunt Debbie, Uncle Scott, Kate, Jack, and Julia all came to cheer on Sarah at the Poly-City game (or the City-Poly game if you ask Emily).

You can see some clips from halftime here and here.
You can see them coming in to the stadium here.

Easter

 Aunt Debbie, Uncle Scott, and Julia came up for some Easter fun!  Oddly, I have no photo documentation of this visit.

Best Day Ever!!

In one of the best days EVER, I managed to see all 6 of my Marusak nieces and nephews at various places.  I never can manage that on a single trip, let alone in a day!  It was awesome!  Also, I stocked up on Cheerwine, thanks to Sean, had some Krispy Kreme, and met my sweet great nephew Seth!  It was an amazing day!

Hersheypark- July 17-19, 2014

We took our annual trip to Hersheypark with the Marusaks.  We were thrilled Cody could come along, too!  He and Daniel were two peas in a pod.  While the big girls and Greg and Scott went for the park preview, Daniel, Cody, Deb, and Kristen had fun at a local park and some yummy yogurt.  We didn't take a ton of pictures in the park, as no one wanted to lug a camera around, but the memories are plentiful.  While we were there, we celebrated out 17th wedding anniversary!

Poly-City Game- November 9, 2013

Sarah's big marching band performance was at the Poly-City game, played at M&T Stadium.  Aunt Debbie, Uncle Scott, Julia, TJ & Kari all came to cheer her on!

Parade- July 4, 2013

Debbie, Scott, TJ and Julia joined us for our neighborhood Independence Day Parade.  The girls decorated their bikes, and even Daniel's tricycle.

Nana B.'s 100th Birthday- June 23, 2013

After months of careful planning and prep work, we ended up scrapping Nana B.'s big 100th birthday bash because she had just gotten out of the hospital, and Gayle and Charles were both really sick (they were bringing Nana B. up to North Carolina for the party).  Since Nana B. couldn't come to the party, we brought the party to her!  Yes . . . Debbie, Scott, TJ, Julia, Greg, Kristen, Sarah, Emily, and Daniel all went to her apartment with cake, presents, and even balloons!  We had a great time seeing her on her actual birthday!

Nana B. loved her gifts, but our visit was her favorite part of the day

Harry Potter- April 6, 2013

The girls got a trip to New York City to see the Harry Potter Exhibition.  We took the train up, and the Bolt Bus back, which we will most likely NEVER do again.  It was amazing, and we highly recommend it to any Harry Potter fan.  We couldn't take pictures at the exhibition, but we'll happily show you the book have!

On the train! 

We took this picture fro our friend Michael,
since he and his wife Patty met under this sign

We didn't want to be late, so we arrived extra early, and had to wait in the cold for what seemed like an eternity, but we were one of the first ones in for the day!

We had to hit the Lego store, or Uncle Scott would disown us!

A giant popsicle, of course!

Easter- March 31, 2013

We headed to Debbie's on Easter Sunday (the girls had to serve at the Easter Vigil).  After a popcorn-free Lent, I was eager to fire up Debbie's yummy popcorn maker!
