All Four of Us
It was so nice to see Matthew and Krista. We enjoyed talking with them and going for walks. They came out for Thanksgiving and though they were tired we enjoyed it a lot. We hope they come back someday and won't be tired:).

Matthew, Mr. Forte, and Krista playing checkers. It was intense. Mr. Forte is really good.

I love this picture of Jonathan and his brother both laughing. It is nice to see siblings smiling with each other.

Jonathan's Dad was throwing the clay pigeons and Jonathan was hitting them..sometimes. Matthew is a fantastic shot, as is Krista.

We left the Salerno's and headed down to the Forte's house. This is the day we went trap shooting with Jonathan's brother, his Dad, and his brother's girlfriend Krista. It was a blast!

Cozy on Christmas
Christmas Day at my parents house. This was neat. My mom, my grandma, and my cousin's daughter who is adorable.

Siblings on Christmas Day
My (Candice's) Dad and his sister. This is one of the best pictures I have of the two of them. It was great to see Aunt Gloria as well as my parents and her husband, Doug.

My parent's house on Christmas day was really nice. We talked and I even talk until I lost my voice the next day (laryngitis). Christmas was nice.

Christmas Play
Jonathan was Joseph and I was Mary in a Christmas play depicting the real meaning of Christmas at the Miranda household. It was great to see all the people we haven't seen for 2 years and catch up. Miranda house at Christmas...where else would there be Polish sausage and enchiladas? (Michael, the shepherd, takes a bow)

We'll be back!
But when you do...you'll be pushin' up daisies! The whole house had been redone to recreate the movie set. Across the street was a museum. It was really well done. Worth all 5 bucks to check it out.

Christmas Story House W 11th St.
Ah! The infamous Christmas Story! It was really cool to go to see the actual house that it was filmed at on West 11th Street in Cleveland, OH. My grandmother even went!

Maumee Bay Brewing Company
Pat and Bridget were awesome to meet us for lunch on a Friday at the Maumee Bay Brewing Company in Toledo, Ohio. It was great getting to catch up, but too short a time together. Hopefully we will see them again in Oklahoma!
