Winter Holidays 2011

Winter Break has been wonderful. We had the family together when Jeff flew back from Seattle for the holidays. We also got some great company from Kiran whi came from Notre Dame. Rich and Tanya were able to drive up for a couple of days with Cava for Christmas. Of course Linda had to take all of us through Longwood Gardens on where they had an amazing light display. We also got to make tamales under Tanya and Rich's watchful eye. A short hike in Wissahickon worked off some extra energy!

  • Longwood Garden has a Winter light display that Linda had bought tickets for.  It was good that she did that early because it was all sold out when we got there.  Linda wanted to show everyone the Topiary but sadly it was closed.

  • There was a lot of traffic at the gardens.  Kids and grandparents and every age in between.  It was not easy to get pictures without other people in them.
