There Goes the Neighborhood!

I am going to start this blog off with a picture of a chicken because Jeff told me people seem to like chickens.

But on to the real news...Gary and I bought a house!

We had our house inspection this afternoon and everything turned out great. March 22nd is our tentative closing date. Soon enough we will be residents of the Town of Tonawanda.

We are just across the street from the golf course and driving range. And there is a heated florida room off the garage, which Good Gary quickly renamed the Man Cave (he has big plans for that room!)

More pics and posts after we move in and the updating begins.

Winter Sledding

We went sledding last Saturday and Sunday at Beaver Island and even though it felt like it was only 1 degree outside (minus 10 degrees windchill) Zach, Emma, and yours truly enjoyed ourselves for at least 15 minutes.

A December to Remember

Just being patient and waiting for Holtz Family Christmas to begin!

Our Christmas day hostess with Ms Caroline One of Gramma's gifts was a digital frame from Kristen and Caroline Jeanne! A handmade rug for Ms Caroline! Caroline cleaned up this Christmas and deservedly so! Some pirate gifts are definately for the Ladies! Gift opening begins! Dear Santa, Please note that Adam does want Yankee apparel for Christmas! Our newest "Holtz" Ms Caroline Jeanne!

Of course the best part of our Christmas Day Celebration is the Pirate Game! Nephew Jeff opened a Bob the Builder Lego set! Not to worry, it was passed on to Mr O!

My sister enjoying a glass of nog! It was the best nog ever made!

2010 will bring us a new family Mr & Mrs Gary Everett. It was a fast and furious holiday season. We were very blessed to be together, share a meal, raise our glasses, and anticipate the upcoming New Year. As always, Gramma sets the pace, with her tireless energy and her willingness to tackle each and every day, with enthusiasm and vitality. May we enjoy our lives as much as she enjoys hers! Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.
