The Obsessive Neurotic Gardener

Posted on January 3, 2014 by jmarkowski Posted in Family .

May she believe in Santa until she is 28:

 Making sure the birthday doesn’t get mixed in with Christmas: 

Oh the pains I went through (wink wink) to make these cookies:

On to decorating the Christmas tree: 

And then the school concerts:

 

Christmas Eve giddiness:

Me and the siblings:

Enjoying time with Mimi:

 Some how managed to get the four cousins together:

Some moments are just too priceless for words:

Cookies were phenomenal Santa loved his cookies:

The stockings were hung by the chimney …

Actually the full reading as an annual tradition (will need a king bed soon):

Ready to come downstairs on Christmas morning:

Football cards were the gift du jour:

A little excited to get the Barbie jet:

May be the best looking jersey of all time: 

She never ceases to amaze me with her creativity:

Some one listened to one of my podcasts where some of my friends recommended a certain garden tool from Cobrahead:

 How you like the use of the Norfolk Island Pine?

If you look closely in the background, you can see the reenactment of George Washington crossing the Delaware River:

More time with cousins:

A lot of board games over the break (and I swear I didn’t peak at the football game once):

And a new found obsession for roller skating: 

 Time to get our glitter on for New Year’s Eve:

Some creative use for cotton candy:

Maybe you want to join us on New Year’s Eve and shut off Minecraft for a little while?

After her 15th New Year’s Eve, she has the right to be exhausted:

Oh look, he’s back and participating with the rest of us: 

And finally, my two best ladies:

Happy New Year!

John

    What a gorgeous family! Laughing about Minecraft…it’s the bane of my existence. Why did I ever allow that to enter Mikey’s life??? Wishing you and your family a very happy 2014!!
