Our Traditions
Summer: We love to visit Katie's parent's cottage, and the kids have fun playing in the sand, boating, tubing, fishing, swimming, roasting s'mores, and checking out the sand dunes with their cousins! We also enjoy taking trips to visit our Indiana family, where the kids get some quality cousin play time, and the adults enjoy catching up with one another and playing games! At home, we spend our time outside swimming in our pool, riding bikes, walking Marley, taking trips to the local ice cream store, and catching up with friends.
Fall: We go apple picking with Nate's family in Indiana, enjoy picking out pumpkins to carve, and make frequent trips to our local orchard for fresh apples, donuts, and cider. Our girls like to dress up for Halloween often as a princess and ride behind the tractor while trick-or-treating with the neighbors. Our family enjoys walks outside, taking in the crisp air and the beautiful colors of our area.
Winter: The girls enjoy sledding, making snowmen, and snow angels. As a family, we're often playing a game or completing a puzzle together. We also love movie nights when it's cold and cherish the extra time we get with our families to celebrate Thanksgiving and Christmas. The girls enjoy baking and decorating Christmas cookies to share with loved ones.
Spring: We are all excited to get outside in the warming weather. We embrace the mud, soak in the sun and enjoy working and playing in the yard. Nate enjoys working in the yard, Katie loves to plant flowers and the girls like helping her. Easter is celebrated with our families, which often includes a family dinner, Easter baskets, and an Easter Egg hunt.
