Post-Baptism Fun...Go Steelers!

Well, if we're going to have all the snow here, we might as well enjoy it. Since we had all gone to Mass on Saturday, that left Sunday wide open for lots of fun. The Meinhart clan was around and our good friends the Clausers came over in the late morning. Mark and Erin's daughter, Megan, and Marie are only three days different in age and are great buddies! Their son, Jacob, was born at the beginning of August, so he and Joey are sure to be playmates as well.

Both the big and little kids did quite a bit of sledding. Marie and Megan had lots of fun riding down and then being pulled or carried back up by various adults (Mark, Matt, Jon, Sarah, or Mark Clauser). When the girls got tired, they came in and the boys stayed outside to do some more extreme tricks. Thankfully, there were no injuries, just an occasional face plant into the snow.

The ride down is worth the trek back up!


Megan, at the bottom of the hill.


Marie, up to her ears and loving it!


Superman...I mean Uncle Mark.

Once everyone was inside, we enjoyed a nice lunch. They had worked up quite the appetite!


Later that afternoon, it was time to get ready to watch the Steelers. Actually, we were getting ready all day, as you can see by all the Steeler garb. We, of course, are all very excited about the upcoming Super Bowl...even Joey is getting into it!



The picture below was actually from Monday, but I just had to post it. Marie has been loving all the new toys that we've been getting out for Joey. Actually, a lot of them are her old toys. When Joey was "playing" with his floor mat, she just had to join in.
