2 in 1

OK, so here's a fun post for the fam.  Dad didn't send me all the pictures he took through the email, so I can't show you everything.
1.The dogs have taken to sleeping in a cardboard box, to keep warm, since we won't give them doggy beds because they just pee in them.

                                          Little Annie and Melissa, sharing the cardboard box.
2. More importantly, the four youngest, dad, and Jake went to see the Macy's light show, and the Charles Dickens Village.  Afterward we went to eat at Reading Terminal, where we ate delicious hoagies and crepes, and then we went to a bunch of art museums.

                                          In front of the pig at reading terminal.

Looking at the cheeses (is that what my hair looks like from the back?)

                                          The ghost of Christmas present. 

P.S. No worries, we're planning to make a second trip to Philly when Ryan and Ann come.  We did this one trip just for Abie before he left for Mongolia :(

Poor Decrepit Rebekah Has a Ganglion Cyst :(

Don't ask.

Performance Dates

Here are some performances that me, Bekah, and John are performing in.  I know some people were interested in coming.
17 of December, Bekah and John are performing in the CPFA winter instrumental concert at 7:00 PM.
18 of December, Abby (myself) is performing in the CPFA winter vocal concert at 7:00 Pm. 
19 of December, Bekah is performing in an acting showcase, where she is performing as a main character in a 4 person skit.  This takes place at (I think) 6:00 PM.
9 of January, Abby (myself) is performing at a different acting showcase (we have different acting teachers) where she is performing in a 2 person 10 minute comedy at (again, I think) 6:00 PM.
Hope to see some of you guys there :)  All of these performances are completely cost free.  If you want to come to any of them, ask mom for the directions.  I also suggest that if you are coming, don't arrive late because it might be hard to get seating. 

Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow!

Lizzy writes: Our senior couple took our district out to lunch this afternoon. President Swain gave them special permission to take us a block outside of the mission to this authentic mexican restaurant. it was good fun. :)

She also sent us a picture of her with all the other missionaries:

  

We love you Lizzy!

Setting Up the Christmas Decorations

Since we didn't go to the green dragon on black Friday (we plan to next Friday) we decided to put up our Christmas decorations that day.  Here is the finished product.

 Our beautiful tree!!

Good ol' VFMAC!

The Pickle!

Only 31 days till Christmas!

Jacob said he remembered walking around and looking at other peoples Christmas trees with Dad.  He said he saw the perfectly manicured trees, with only balls on them, and he thought, "How hideous!  Those trees are so boring!"  I thought that was pretty funny.

Thanksgiving 2012

Last year we had the idea of having Thanksgiving at the church.  This year we continued the new tradition, and it was great!  Here are some pics of the event.

 The gym after it was decorated (thanks to Shana and some of her elves.. guess who that was).

Eve loved all the attention!

 

Elliot and Brooke enjoying their naps.

What cute kids!

And finally, the feast!

The food was great!  We had 7 pies and several other desserts.  Sorry, no closeups. :( 

Thanks to those who provided the food, and decorations (which was actually everybody)!

P.S. The person who posted this was Bekah... not Abby.

I asked Baby Jakey to perform a tap dance, and here it is :)

Guess Who

This year has brought many unforeseen changes to the Muldowney household. In fact, I doubt you'd even recognize us these days. We've decided to allow our cooped up creative genius to manifest itself outwardly.

Transformations almost all a credit to Facebooth Philly (present at our Fourth of July celebration) and their rather fun props.

It's Just the Beginning

Happy New Year!

May it be prosperous and full of many blessed experiences. Like our New Year's Eve feast.

 Here's to the opportunities this year will bring!

Much love,
