Remember to include YOU in the photo :)
♥Here is my layout. I included my bucket list on the tag - it's from when I was 30 years old:
To me, there is nothing more important that for John and I and our family to enjoy each other. I have checked off what I already accomplished on my bucket list and there are still some things left to do!!

And since it has been so long since I last posted, I would like to share some moments in pictures that have taken place in our family since last month:
♥Anne celebrated her 12th birthday on January 15th and had her first girls' sleepover:
(I can never understand why it is called a sleepover when very little sleep occurs!!)
♥We have been given a lot of snow & ice this winter, Anne and I decided to make the best of it:
♥Anne has been enjoying reading this semester and especially likes the Hunger Games series:
♥ We went to NYC last weekend to celebrate our 25th Anniversary.
The hotel knew that it was our 25th anniversary and this is what we found in our room:
(WOW! We were so excited!!!)
♥ And here are some more photos from our weekend:
(Here's Anne on the ferry to the Statue of Liberty. Look at the ice on the water!)
(Seeing the Statue of Liberty was an amazing experience and one of the items on my bucket list!)
(We ate at "The Spotted Pig" for lunch and had a delicious meal!)
(This was one of the views from the top of the Empire State Building! Spectacular!!!)
( . . . and to show you just how cold it was last weekend - here is the fountain in Bryant Park!)
♥ We missed having Katie home, and we were sorry that she couldn't;t come to NYC with us, but we know that she is having some amazing experiences at Penn State this semester! LOVE you , Katie!!!

ReplyDeleteYour layout is so beautiful, Sharon! It looks so spring-y! We all need some spring here and, like you, we are supposed to get a taste this week! Congratulations on your anniversary. It looks like a fabulous trip to NYC! Isn't the Statue of Liberty amazing? My father came into New York as a young man past that statue in 1920! It always moves me to see it.
ReplyDeleteHave a wonderful weekend, my friend! Enjoy this beautiful sunshine and your lovely family.
Love the background and the your photos are just way way awesome.
ReplyDeleteI can see you had lots of fun in NYC, who wouldn't? I lived there for 8 years and still go back once or twice every year, I just love that place!
Your layout is gorgeous! I am so loving your photos too - they are absolutely wonderful! xxx
ReplyDeleteI'd say your bucket is full of blessings, Sharon! I loved this post. Your Anne is such a beautiful young lady; I especially liked her magic wand! 8-)
ReplyDeleteSending blessings from here on the farm where the ice and snow are GONE! Yee haw!
Hi to you over on the other side of the sand pit! Your photos of snow look wonderful as our summer seems to be hanging on here! Love your layout, the background is amazing with your corner photo and happy anniversary too! And I bet there was a huge amount of giggling at the sleepover too! Take care!
ReplyDeleteHello Sharon, so good to read your post and see pictures. Happy Anniversary!! Great pictures of your month and trip. Our anniversary is coming up next month, not sure what we will do, Disney would be nice but not possible at this time. I'm ready for the snow and ICE to melt too, miss seeing the grass!!! Great idea having a bucket list, always fun to do and cross off. Pretty layout!!
ReplyDeleteHope all is going well and your mom too. We are doing ok here, just waiting for spring. The Middle has been good too, sad to see Susan and boyfriend break up though. Take care friend, love and hugs.
