Golfing, Swimming and Singing - 234/365

Today was a busy day. 

Jim started his day on the golf course with the boys. They played over at Avalon and had a great time! 

This evening, Jim and Reagan went over to his parents for a little cookout and swimming. Reagan just loves swimming in Sean and Barb's pool. They had a nice time. 

Nana and I were off to see Darius tonight at Blossom. We were so excited! We hadn't been to Blossom very much this year. It was nice to be back in our wrist band area and have good parking! LOL!

It was a fun day for all!

Friends, Family and a Christmas Party - 361/365

We had another busy day today!

Jim went and met some of his college friends at the Lanai Lounge in Boardman for lunch. A lot of them were home for the holidays, so they always try to get together. They had a great time chatting and reminiscing! He always likes to see his buddies. 

While he was doing that, Reagan and I had lunch with Nana, Pam, Zach and Gina. Zach and Gina came home for the evening to see some family up here. They were going to hang out at Nana's tonight, but we had plans to go up to Matt and Nikki's so they came up a little early to have lunch and to see us. It was so nice! We had a fun lunch at Inner Circle. 

This evening, we were off to Amherst for our annual cousin's Christmas Party. We rotate between our house, Nikki's and Adrienne's. This year it was Nikki's turn. 

She had an awesome spread of Chicken Parmesan, Salad and Wedding Soup. The rest of us brought other things. We brought a pepperoni roll and wings from Inner Circle and Adrienne brought the dessert. Sarah and Brian were there, too, so it was great to see them!

The kids had a blast running around. They girls were loving playing dress up. It was too cute! 

We buy gifts for the kids and then we do a funny $10.00 gift exchange for the adults. Jim and I ended up with wine and a lottery ticket. We really wanted to steal Nikki's Spaceship Earth mug that Adrienne bought, since we allow stealing in our exchange, but we were nice and let her keep it! 

Reagan got an Elsa singing doll that she just loves. It sings Let it Go in English and in other languages. It's so funny, but she absolutely loves when it sings in the other languages! She also got another one of Matt's hand drawn masterpieces. He did a special Anna and Elsa one for her. She just loves it and wants to bring it to her party!

Matt was so sweet and got Jim a special present just for him. He picked him up some Bernie Beer. It's Bernie Kosar's own beer he came out with. Jim loved his special present!

When we got home, some of Jim's friends had reconvened downtown for a little bit, with some of the ones that couldn't make it to lunch. We got home and he was still feeling awake, so he met them for a little bit. He had a great night!

We had a great day!

Jim and all his college friends.

Girls Day and Old Friends - 360/365

Today, during the day, was girls day! Jim and Papa had to go back to work, and Ed, was going to visit some old friends. 

Pam, Reagan and I, decided to run a few errands. We went to lunch first at Inner Circle. Ed, actually popped in a had a quick bite with us, before we ran our errands. Reagan loves when Uncle Ed comes to lunch because he is an awesome drawer and colorer. They had a good time! 

 After lunch, we set out to both Walmarts to look for our beloved "Christmas Crack." It's a Planters Peanut mix that has peanut brittle, yogurt drops, pretzels, cashews and peanuts. All the Zabel family LOVES it and no one had been able to find it this year. We call it crack, because you CAN NOT STOP eating it. It's SO GOOD! Pam actually found some cans at BOTH stores...SCORE! We're all set for our crack addiction.

 Next, we ran to Altiers. They carry these fun yard spinners for all different themes. We all have some. Pam was looking for a snowman and Ed, wanted a new airplane one. She scored there, too!

We were all planning on going to dinner tonight after Reagan got up for her nap. We all rested in our various homes, but after we all sat down, none of us wanted to get back up! LOL! We all stayed home...except for Jim. He had made plans to meet up with some college friends that were in town. They met at O'Donalds and had a great time catching up! It's always great to see old friends.

While he was out and about, Reagan and I played with some of her new toys and unpacked some of her goodies from the other gift exchanges. We had a great night exploring all her new stuff!
