Fast trip to PA to celebrate christmas with Jeff's family in January...



view of the snow on the mountains from the airport run way.
it was raining for two weeks straight... is there any chance of a warm sunny weekend in PA???



wow, so much snow on our local mountains...



we changed planes in chicago and ate lunch.  we picked mc donalds since we saw an interesting item on the menu.  it was a double filet o fish. omg!!! we couldn't resist....









it was big but wasn't as tasty as we thought it was.  glad we tried it but not sure if we would get it again







jeff's brother joel and sister jody with their family gathered at the parents house to celebrate christmas all together with us...




got our favorite dinner from latucca's


and the best.... stromboli



opening gifts... fun to have christmas in january


happy birthday joel!!!
mom made red velvet cake at the request of jeff (not the birthday boy)

went to bed with full tummies....




the next day we got together at jeff's grandma's home for christmas with jeff's dad's side of the family



kids in line for the food



our lunch, it was very yummy...
