HAPPY EASTER!

Happy Easter! This year we decided to do something different for Easter, and we let someone else do the cooking. A first time for everything, and we enjoyed it! ...even if Tyler was our waiter and it took him until we were ready to go out the door to secure us some Carrot Cake! Really, though, after all the hassling he took from Jeff, he wasn't too bad.

Here's Jeff trying his charm on Carrie, and even though he's a cutie, there's no way she's getting up to dance to this elevator music in front of all the guests!
We then went to catch up with the Massie side of the family and wish them all a "Happy Easter!"

Pictured - Michelle, Jennifer, and Katie

Next pic. - cousins, Michelle, Jenny (not pictured), Jennifer, Amanda (not pictured), and Katie (See, Jenny, I try to give you some blog time, but you'd rather go home and study and read all night.... LOL You know I love you!)


Siblings - Ron, Jamie (aka Mom), and Linda
Below, I catch Pat taking a picture (as Jaime and Josh look on)! Yep, I'm quicker on the draw!



Mindy and Ron

Josh - well, I guess it beats eating the whipped cream right out of the container!

Katie and her new friend, who we all enjoyed meeting

...somehow Dick's Sporting Goods really could bring my Mom and Aunt Linda to tears (of course, there's more to this story, but it's just not "Blog Friendly")...even my Dad had to come into the dining room to check it out!




Emily enjoys some of her Easter goodies...a "Pink" shirt, bag, and flip flops.

Greg also had a visit from the Easter bunny...with some Under Armour shorts, an alarm clock, some books, and more!

Happy Easter from our family to yours!

"Yep, I'm a Fanilow!"

Nope, I'm not at all embarrassed to admit! I'm a "Fanilow!" I've loved Barry Manilow since I was a kid, and I still do. Bickley, on the other hand, not so much a fan, but he loves me...so, therefore, guilty by association.

If you're wondering where I got my good taste in music, of course, it came from my Mom and Dad. We celebrated their birthdays with them by taking them to see Barry Manilow, in Columbus, on February 8th (my Dad's birthday - my Mom's birthday is the 9th).

Even if you're not a huge Barry Manilow fan, everyone knows at least a few of his songs...from Mandy to I Write the Songs to the Copacabana. My Dad definitely got the fever, and his glow stick (courtesy of Nationwide Arena) also doubled as his microphone! Yep, he should be in radio!














Check out the video clip from a great concert!

Shootin' Some Hoops

Greg wrapped up his season with the Sonics.

He did really well;

we saw a lot of progress from the start of the season to February.

We're glad he had fun!

...looking forward to next year!

Way to go, Greg!

Staff Holiday Party

Well, my staff really knows how to have a good time. We had our staff "Holiday Party" in January, which is perfect, because we were all done with the hustle and bustle of the season and we were ready to get together, relax, and have a good time. We were also glad that Kristi was able to make it with her new, little bundle of joy Andrew, who we welcomed into the world on January 3rd. Isn't he a cutie pie?!?! ...and Kristi is looking quite adorable herself...I hope I can say the same thing two weeks after this little guy arrives!


The whole Litzenberg Family!

One of our favorite Olentangy families...Tom and Cheryl...not only do I work with Cheryl, but Bick and I both taught a couple of their children who are incredible kids!

Bickley, Jennifer, Tom, and Cheryl



Above - We weren't sure why Nadine had this old album lying around, but my sweet coworkers thought it might be funny if I posed with Jane Fonda's pregnancy album!

Next pic. - good friend Shannon and her husband Travis (aka T-bone)

Below, Sondra, Alissa, and Judy...Judy is fortunate enough to be my long-term sub as soon as I go out on maternity leave...can't wait!!!

So, a good time was had by all...even me, aka everyone's favorite D.D.
