Winter Holiday Review

Well my parents and my brother Marvin are on their way home to New York right now. For the past week and a half my parents have been visiting with us in Cleveland. It has been an eventful week and a half with lots of snow and lots of my parents enjoying time getting to know Liam. But let me digress, the Winter Holiday really started almost 2 weeks ago.

Two weeks ago we visited New York for my Uncle Peter's 70th birthday celebration, which was really nice since last month we saw the passing of my uncle Joseph who was the older brother to both my uncle Peter and my Father. We also visited my aunt Pat and my cousins Gene and Wendy. On Monday the 20th Ahmie and I drove back to Cleveland with my parents for a visit. (We have been preparing for several weeks for this visit house wise at least.) My brother had finals that week and did not come to Cleveland until Thursday of that week. Of course Cleveland had a huge snow storm that week and we were buried under a foot and a half of wet snow. I did not spend as much time as I would have liked with my parents because I had to work. I spent half of Christmas day sleeping because I had to work a 3rd shift at work, which was not great.

Fast forward to today I took the day off so that I could spend time with my parents and get some family pictures taken.

As I'm closing the post now my parents are just boarding the bus back to New York from Cleveland leaving from gate 7 and will arrive in New York at 9 am.

Liam's first taste of Christmas

MMM... Santa tastes different. 

This picture was taken at my company's children's Christmas party where they had a Santa to pose with the children. The santa was good, his beard was real. Bogged with work, hopefully more to come soon
