Nathan & Kerri Family

Butterfly Museum

During some time off, I took Mikey and Suzy to the Butterfly Museum. I had never been there before and though it would be a neat place to go. It was cool. Hundreds of butterflies were all around us.

Quite a few landed on Mikey- this one is on the head!

One on the hand of a lady there.

They had other fish, birds, lizards... these fish were huge!

Loved this butterfly when it had its wings open

Both of them had butterflies on them.

Each of us had a butterfly on us. It was cool. Mine was on there like the whole time. We actually had to shake it off when we wanted to leave.

Yankee Candle on V-day

For Valentine's Day, Nate and I went up to Yankee Candle. It was a nice trip. We hadn't been in years, so it brought back some memories!

The Captina Hook nutcracker.

The Phantom Nutcracker- getting ready to go see in May ;)

We visited the Irish room and had some fun!

Nate too!

A sweet pic!

Showing off his dipping skills!

Artic Blast

A few weeks ago we went up to Camp Northfield for a Family Arctic Blast. There were about 15 or so of us from church that went up and it was so much fun! We were all pooped that nite when we got home.

A shot with Chief before heading down the hill again!

He is not dead. Just getting a free ride from Uncle Bub!

Robert B-day Party- All Pirate!

Robert celebrated his 5th B-day in January. Of course, all of it surrounded by Pirates!
The cake was so awesome! Scott and Jen did a great job on it! It went quick!

His pirate monkey side kick!

The pirate cake

The proud pirate himself!

Salem Cross Inn ... Date Nite!

Nate and I went out on a nice dinner date at the Salem Cross Inn in MA. We received it as a Christmas present. It was very different, but fun! The whole meal is pretty much made in front of us and the customers can even take turns to help prepare it too! We started off on a nice horse drawn sleigh ride! It was a little cold, but the stars were beautiful!

This is the roasting pit. Nate was very intrigued by it! The prime rib was delicious!

They were making the apple crisp! This too was also delicious!

Stirring the clam chowder! Mmmmm!!!

Some of the antiques around the Inn

Some of the decor around the room!

Yes, that is ALL Whipped Cream. The guy was having way too much fun doing a "dollop" of it!

Awe!

Date night with the kids?!

After a wonderful dinner and opening of presents, Nate and I took Zoe and Robert out for a special night! We all went to Bright Nights at Forest Park in MA. We all had fun! It was a great time to spend with the kids as well as giving mom a break! Once we got into teh park, we had the kids sit on our laps to see things a little better! They were quite the photographers! They took a million pictures of the sites! Robert also did a wonderful job helping Uncle Bub drive! No accidents or tickets! ;)

Zoe and her Auntie Kerri!

Look mom! No hands!!!!

The high lite of it- THE GRINCH!!!!!

We walked through Santa's village!

The zoo animals!

Robert's high lite...Peter Pan. We would've posted Captain Hook, but he was way too blurry!

Christmas w. Meg and Kids

We always have a great time at Christmas with Meg and the kids! We had them over for dinner! I think we all had a great night!

Making our own quessidillas

PIG PILE!!!!

SO sweet!

Having a great time! Robert took this pic!

Opening their together gift!

Game Night...AKA... TANK

Seeing we are around the holiday season, we did a game night - a late as you can take it game night! Just about all of them dressed in camo, which I thought was so fun! Carl- got all of them a du-rag too- that made the outfit! It was a fun night- even though I didn't play! ;)

So sucked into the game!

Love the faces!

College and Career Activity Christmas 2008

We had a Christmas activity with our College and Career group this past Sunday. We had a lot of fun too! We played Christmas Carol Pictionary, which was quite interesting with each of our artistic abilities!
