For Father’s Day today Lucia, Rose and I enjoyed a very hot bike ride to Dairy Queen then did some light grilling on our “new” grill scavenged from our neighbor’s garbage. At least once or twice a summer we do te bike ride to Dairy Queen – about 4 miles each way.
Nothing beats Valentine’s Day at Panera!
Many years ago our kids started a Cake Wars tradition on New Years Day, and the tradition continues.
Every year the Reagen and Liesland men play Haunted House on the Hill after midnight.
For traditional Christmas Eve Mass we attended St. Francis with Mimi and Papa and the Reagens. Andrew and Nate were both missing because they weren’t feeling well.
We made more Christmas cookies.
To celebrate the solstice, the Reagens hosted a spiral walk in their backyard. It was a beautiful evening and a good time was had by all. Special shout-out to Nate who quickly improvised some candles stands, and mother nature for bringing no wind.
Lucia and Rose had a blast decorating Christmas cookies at the Reagens’.
