Oaklyn Parents of CHS Seniors ('20)

We had the first of many meetings of Senior Parents from CHS on the 248th day of 2019.  9/5/19 was the College Bound Senior Parent meeting and we got a lot of good advice from the Director of Counseling at the high school.  There was a lot of anxiety in the room (and it was just parents), but I was sitting with the parents of Alexa's classmates from OPS.  This parent group has been together since Pre-School!  And we made each other smile and even giggle during the presentation (but we did not get in trouble!)  And that's what I love about my fellow Oaklyn Villagers.  I am grateful for the Oaklyn Parents of CHS Seniors ('20).  I really hope that, even after Graduation next year, we still find times to hang out!

Our Family Movie Night to Knives Out!

12/26/19, the 2nd Day of Christmas, and we made it into a Family Movie Night.  On the 360th day of 2019, we went and saw Knives Out! and it was FANTASTIC.  It was a great time out as a family and the movie was as good as advertised (+97% on Rotten Tomatoes).   It just made us all very happy and, because of that, I am grateful for our family movie night to Knives Out!  We have 2-3 more movies we want to see over break, and this was a fine start!

Christmas Cousin Swap

What a wonderful 359th day of 2019 12/25/19 was.  Of course, we all knew it'd be a good day, it's CHRISTMAS!  And we made the trek to York, PA for the whole Walters Family Christmas Dinner.  And. of course, it was delicious.  But, after Dinner, my favorite Walters Family Christmas Tradition occurred.  The six cousins sat in a circle and, after guessing who had their name, swapped Christmas presents.  And there were smiles, and laughs, and some really nice presents were exchanged.  But it was not really about the presents, it's more about the smiles and laughs and family time together.  That is why my unending gratitude is for the Christmas Cousin Swap (and all of the other Christmas Day celebratory activities).  MERRY CHRISTMAS, EVERYONE!

80s Movies

During the Winter Break, we always have a lot of Family Movie Nights.  The 362nd day of 2019 was no different.  But, on 12/28/19, we found 80s movies on the On Demand.  Tonight's selections were Die Hard and St. Elmo's Fire.  CLASSICS!  So happy to be able to share my teenaged movie favorites with my teenager.  I am grateful for 80's movies and the nostalgia they bring up, and the fact that my teen likes them as much as I did/do!
