I can't belive that another year has come and gone. We have made it a yearly tradition to go out to PHL and see Jeff, Janell and their kids for turkey day. It has been a blast. We have a few activities that we repeat each year such as: going to the Shady Maple, endless trips to the outlet mall, consume large amounts of special drink (sparkling cider) with the kids, staying up late playing games and much much more. The Shady Maple is an Amish smorgasbord (buffet) and the food is to die for!! Our favorite part was playing with the kids. This was the first time that Ryan and I got to see baby Brooklyn (the newest addition to the Gregerson family). She is so cute. We always love it here in PHL. We did do something new this year, we went to midnight madness at the local outlet mall. O my gosh it was complete madness and I will probably never do that again. We also helped Janell set up Christmas the day after Thanksgiving dinner. The thing that is the hardest for me about this week is that it has been 1 year sence my first ectopic pregnancy. Knowing that I lost 4 babies in 1 year is just crazy and hard for me. I am still trying to work through everything that has happened this last year in that department. It is weird to think that Janell's little girl Brooklyn and my first baby would have been the same age. I do know that I feel so extremely lucky to have such cute nieces and nephews. I love all of my sisters kids so much and I don't know what I would do if I did not have them in my life. Well here are a lot of pics of our trip in Philly. Thanks again Jeff and Janell for having us. We love you and are so proud of you and we love all of you so so much. Keep up the hard work. Not to mention love your guts Rayna babe Hugs and Kisses. See you soon.

You have been and will be blessed....Love,Moppy.

What a fun trip. I think it is so awesome that you have made that a tradition! You guys are way too much fun! We really should hang out sometime! RIGHT?? Remember our ugly make-up night?? Oh boy oh boy! That was way too funny!
Shanda! You need to call me and we will hang out. I think you are so amazing and inspiring. Janell told me that you ran in the NIE NIE 5K. I almost ran in it too, but Spencer didn't make it home in time. We can talk triathlons. Maybe I can talk you in to doing one with me in June. My number is 794-0936. Or give me your number on my blog.
I love that special drink too!! What cute pictures!
