As Daddy said as we drove away from the twins' daycare, "This is our longest break except for summer break! Time to party!!" We were very busy packing lots of fun into our time off together!
Loving our PJ's from Uncle Karl and Aunt Jill...
Doc McAllie!
Love our dancing horse from Bah-Bah Claus!
Wondering where Tinkerbelle the toy cat went? She ended up being a somewhat scary cat with her hissing! So we now have Belle the doggy!
Allie is really into cheerleading right now!
Did some swimming with our friends a the Y!
"Man...I need a vacation from vacation!"
Cam wanted to make something with the sewing machine...
Tah-dah! A purse for Allie!
Mommy and Daddy got a little bit of time off thanks to Gammy and Poppy! We went to Philadelphia to hear one of our favorite musicians play....and just so happened to be walking into the venue as he was unpacking his gear!
Very cool! Stephen Kellog!
We were glad to be able to host the Rocchi/Mackel Christmas at our home again this year. The twinjas love a good party!
Allie's stylin' party dress!
We got bored waiting for the party to start so decided to try out the new STOMP-ROCKET!
Let the party begin!
Making some hot cocoa!
A certain little girl really loves her big cousin!
Allie - where did your party dress go???
Time to relax!
We went back to Philly as a family to see "Frog and Toad" at the Arden Theatre. A and C are really into F and T right now. I was also excited because Ben Dibble, a friend from high school, was playing Toad!
Yeah, Ben!

"I need a vacation from this vacation!"
Fast forward to today, and A and C were having lots of fun pretending to be Frog and Toad. Mike's gym renovation is almost complete and the twins took full advantage of having a stage to act from!
They first instructed Daddy to give the speech at the beginning: "Please silence your cell phones and enjoy Frog and Toad!" And then the show began! Now if you don't know the show, the captions may not make sense...but believe me, they were doing an absolutely wonderful job!
Cam started out as Toad...notice the blueish/greenish chalk on the "stage". This was the water!
Allie was portraying Frog but then quickly changed to a multitude of other animals...the bird, the turtle, the cow...the cow?
Here is Cam's sleeping snail scene!
Allie flying the kite!
Cam, still being the snail, is approaching the "mailbox" to deliver the letter to Frog!
Here they are planning what scene to do next!
Allie took a break at acting to try her hand at directing!
Finally - Cam's portrayal of the snail delivering the mail!!
I think this video is one of the cutest things ever....
And finally, just some random shots...
We need to go back to school to get rested up!
Little bit of arts and crafting!
Uncle Matty stopped over with Christmas present! TinkerToys were a big hit!!
Un-decorating the house was a HUGE undertaking...the twins were GREAT helpers!
New Year's Eve didn't quite work out how we had planned...the twins were going to stay at Gammy and Poppy's but Allie ended up getting an ear infection...oh, well!! They still looked super cute in these PJ's!
Twins had lots of fun organizing their new toys....
Enjoyed visiting the lobsters at Giant...
Playing during the Penn State game!
Loving our new game from Bizzy - Guess Who!
So overall, it was a pretty fantastic break...now we're all just holding on until SUMMERTIME!!!
