Before the Siemens Martins Arrived...

Brad and Andrea and family had some time with the Martins before we got together in Lancaster. While we were there before the whole family convened, we had some fun of our own.

Adam helped with chocolate crinkles creation in preparation for the trip.

The snow piles were amazing, and parking places jealously guarded when we arrived, but it melted over the next week.

One morning we got together with the son of people Mommy and Daddy know, and Grandma showed us how to play Fox and Goose.






It got pretty cold pretty fast out in the snow!!! While we waited for the real party to begin, we also went to the market and had Christmas cookies, and ate falafels at a new-ish place on Grandma's block, and other fun stuff.
