December Pictures

There are lots of pictures on this post. If you can't see them all, just click on the link to the right that says "December". Sorry it has taken me so long to post. I hope you enjoy the photos. Happy Holidays to everyone!!


Here are some pictures that were taken recently. We went to Easton to visit the reindeers for the holidays.

My sister, Kathy, gave Anthony this astronaut outfit. He loves it!!! He wears it everyday. It has a countdown so when it goes off, he runs around the house. It's so funny to watch him.

Thanks for the outfit, Kathy!

Anthony Visits Santa

We went to the mall the other night so Anthony could visit Santa. He lasted enough time to get a lollipop from him. We were able to get a few photos before he had a melt down! He told Santa that all he wanted was candy for Christmas. That should be easy! :)

The Varckette Christmas Party at the Skaates' House

We celebrated our annual Christmas party at Laura and Cal's house this year. Everybody was able to come in town except for Mike. We had a wonderful time celebrating the holidays with everyone! The party will be at our house next year. I'm not sure how we will top the Skaates' party!

Thanksgiving in Georgia

We went down to Georgia this year for Thanksgiving. We had a really nice time visiting with everyone and eating lots of good food. Thanks, Mom, for all of your hard work in preparing everything. It was delicious!


We got some good card games in while we were there.

My Dad with his full belly!

My Mom finally gets off her feet! She cooked all week for us!

All of the kids love Aaron! He spoils them all!

The amazing Thanksgiving dinner that my Mom cooked for 70 people!

The Two Pregnant Mamas!

We threw my sister, Amy, a baby shower while we were in Georgia. This is her first and she is due 3 weeks before me. Who knows, maybe we will have them on the same day!

Anthony Being Sweet to His Cousin

We went home to Georgia for Thanksgiving. Anthony got to see his little cousin, Lauren. He was so sweet to her. Hopefully, this is how he will act when the new baby comes!

Happy Birthday, Pop!

Marc's Dad celebrated his 80th Birthday. Laura organized everything to have a wonderful party at one of the local restaurants in Ashtabula. Thanks, Laura, for all of your hard work and thanks, Lisa, for getting all of the t-shirts made. The party was a success!

Anthony Found His New Car

We stopped at the dealership to get Marc's car washed. As we were waiting, we walked around to see the new cars in the showroom. We thought Anthony was walking around but then found him in this car. He got in and shut the door all by himself and had this big grin on his face. Scary to think that he was able to do all of this without any help!

Georgia Tech vs. Wake Forest

We went down to Georgia for the Georgia Tech vs. Wake Forest game to see my nephew play. It's his last year at Wake Forest so we wanted to see him play before he graduates. We tailgated before the game, which was alot of fun. The game went into overtime and was very intense. Wake Forest ended up losing, which was disappointing for Geoff. The game fell on his Birthday so it would have been a nice present for him, if they won. It was still a good game and he had a couple of really good plays. Great job, Geoff!

Happy Birthday, Anthony!

Anthony celebrated his 2nd Birthday on Nov. 4th! We had a little get together for him with cake and ice cream. It's hard to believe it was 2 years ago that he was born. Thanks everybody for all of the wonderful gifts

Having fun with his new gifts!

Anthony thanked Jenny for his gifts by giving her a nice, wet one! So cute!

Anthony and Chris couldn't wait to dig into the cupcakes!

The next pictures are from round two. We made a trip down to Georgia and Anthony got to celebrate his Birthday again. Anthony's cousins, Cameron and Jake, celebrated their Birthdays too. Thanks Becky and David for hosting it at your house!

Halloween 2009

Anthony dressed as a Gladiator for Halloween this year. He looked so cute and was attracting all of the little girls in the neighborhood! It was his first year of trick or treating so he was in heaven with all of the candy. He had to try every piece of candy that he got, as it was put in his bag. By the end, I had a bag full of candy that was half eaten!


Anthony with his neighbor, Mariam (aka future girlfriend)!

Anthony with his cousin Chris, the Pirate, before they hit the streets!

Sound Asleep!

I found my two babies sounds asleep on the sofa. They must have worn each other out!
