Hershey Park

Despite the warmth it wasn't the nicest day but we got our just as the rain was starting.  It would have been nice to see how pretty it is with the lights after dark but we had fun enjoying the rides and not freezing even though it was December!  Also nice to have family with us who will take the kids on coasters!

Max did this right at the beginning, not sure he'll do it ever again but he was brave! (Wildcat)

Aliyah went on Laff Trakk then.

Happy Birthday Jesus!

Will never get over these faces, pure joy!

Merry Christmas to this cat!  It was nearly 70 degrees on Christmas Eve so her gift was a long missed open window!

Not quite as fond of this gift...

Nice that Santa takes the time to circle the neighborhood with the firefighters!

One of our favorite things, cookie time!

A little cookie with that sugar?

It's not often we have such a warm December and can spend an evening grilling and playing outside in just sweatshirts!

The annual "picture".  They're old enough now not to be scared, full respect for the big guy!
