We headed back to Yaeger’s Farm to cut down our tree this year. It was a brisk day and super crowded – I guess we’re not the only ones anymore who like to cut down our own tree. There was pretty universal agreement on the tree this year and it was perfect, if I do say so myself.

This year we went back to Ocean City for Thanksgiving. Diane and Graeme came in from Colorado and shared a house with mom, dad, Becky, Ari, Doug and Vicki. Joan, Dan, Maithili and the kids and Julia got a house a few blocks away. The girls and I went down for just one night and Dave came in just for Thanksgiving dinner. Dick, Suzy, Quinn and Carley came in for the day as well. The weather was blustery, but nice. And of course we his Asbury on Black Friday to kick off the holiday shopping!

It was a lovely and relaxing time with the family.

We did a lot of celebrating at the end of fall. First was Hayley and Tim’s wedding a Aronomick, which brought together most of the family.

And the following day we had Ava Devine’s Bat Mitzvah at the Union League, which was a total blast. While the kids have attended many, Dave and I have only attended a few of these, and every time we have so much fun!

And finally, a few weeks later we celebrated Dylan and Catherine getting married in Rock Hall! It was a lovely wedding at Osprey Point.

And, while not a wedding, it was still a celebration when I headed down to Virginia to celebrate Aleen being recognized by the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation for being an ambassador. The event was a good fest – my favorite kinds!

Really a fantastic and fun couple of weeks!
