To say we are excited about the new year is an understatement! As we start to finalize the details (and I mean many, many, details) of our big cross country move, please pray for our sanity. 😊 We decided driving to Charleston and shipping our things in Upods was the best way to go. So with a one year old, a two year old, an old dog a “drugged up” cat and a trailer full of plants (that I can’t bare to get rid of,) will be embracing the road for this 4 day trip in a few weeks.
Saying goodbye to San Diego for the last (11 years for me) (20 years for Pete) is bitter sweet... just kidding it’s not!! We can’t wait for a change in pace and scenery! Here’s hoping we all have a southern drawl by March.
Happy New Year Y’all
The Zweigart Family:
Thanksgiving was spent in Cle for the 1st time in 3 years for Shiggy & I...we missed our California Babies...but Jane & Mario had a full house of about 30 or more —YIKES!! it was delicious and a lot of fun!!!!!
Janice was fortunate to spend the 1st week of December in SD and loved every minute with J.R., Margot and of course Jess & Pete too!!!
Christmas was very small and quiet this year...unlike anything we’ve experienced in the past. It was still a nice day with Pavia’s but we all missed all the O’Donnell’s!
Glad to be back at work and normalcy...waiting on Spring❤️
The Gaus Family:

Reust Family Update:
It has been a wonderful mild winter, it feels odd for Ohio! We are hoping the down pour of snow doesn't start to happen when baby #2 is due in February. We have enjoyed the holidays with family and preparing for new baby. Elijah has been busy preparing the room and closet, Rose has been on the hunt for the perfect new stuffed animal since she has made it clear she wont be sharing any of hers! Frankie is still not understanding that something is in Vanessa's belly and Vanessa is very eager for maternity leave! Happy New Year!

The Chimera / Lee Family:
Can't believe 2019 flew by this quickly. As my dad always said, "Your age is the speed at which you are flying through life!"
Some of you already know that Adams & I are snow bunnies (at least me for sure ☺). We ended up in Aspen around Xmas... and as planned, Adams decided to get injured on our 2nd day. Trust me, he plans this every year. In fact, it's the 3rd time he's been sick/injured during our ski trip!
He "pulled/strained" his calf. Wah~ 😭 But in good Xmas spirit, I let it be so we mostly enjoyed the town drinking and eating. 🍷🍻
On another happy note, Root'd website is up and running. Please check it out! https://rootd.com/ It's still work in progress but things are movin' & groovin'! 💃💃💃
Keeping it short and sweet. Have an amazing start to the New Year and hope all your wishes come true in 2020!
Evelyn & Adams
Jacque and Connor visited just before Christmas and we rode the Pebblecreek choo choo train. We sat in the caboose with Connor. It was a short visit (24 hours) but we had a great time.
Adams and Evelyn visited for Christmas. We went to Mass, had dinner, had friends in, had a cocktail party and just had 4 days of fun.
Hope everyone had a great Christmas!
The Bohlens have been having fun and keeping busy. Connor moved into a big-boy bed (Jacque made his Daniel Tiger quilt), and we have had a lot of visitors. Bobby's parents were with us for three weeks in November, including Thanksgiving when his cousin, Emily, made her annual trip to see us. We saw Hipster Santa (so Portland), Connor met Elmo, and Jacque took a quick trip to Phoenix for Connor to spend time with his Mima and Nanu before Christmas (a needed last-minute trip to Rhode Island rearranged some travel plans, postponing our longer, full-family trip until January). It was just the six of us (dogs included) for Christmas, but Bobby's sister, Nie (Christmas tea photo below), and our nephew, Sam, visited Dec 26 - 31, and then we spent Jan 1 - 5 in Rhode Island with most of Bobby's family. We're catching a breath where we can before a busy travel schedule over the next few months.
Harrison’s spent Christmas in Marco Island, FL. Then traveled north to spend a couple days with the Kuhns and visit seaworld. We enjoyed our time but are happy to be home. Basketball season is in full swing. Luke’s team is playing for the championship in our holiday tournament.
The Pavia Family:
The holidays were busy with family gatherings, we hosted Thanksgivings and Christmas Eve enjoying catching up with both Pavia/Chimera family. Happy new year to all of you!🎉
Hello and Wishing Everyone a Happy New Year!
The Kuhn Family has enjoyed a fun holiday season with family and friends.
The boys were very excited for Santa and Tina follows her brothers everywhere. A few holiday events we enjoyed this season were, visiting Santa, went for a Candy Cane hunt, saw a holiday boat parade, watched an outside Christmas movie and made a gingerbread house. We miss family and love visiting when they come to town. This year Dad and Mom along with Sister, Steve, and Ava all came to Florida for an Old Fashion O'Donnell Family Christmas. Keeping true to the holiday spirit, Donny hung 3,500 imported Italian twinkling lights on the house. There was a brief moment where his extension cord was not plugged in correctly, but he checked every bulb twice and the lights flickered on, lighting up the night sky.
We loved meeting Ava and visiting with our family. Included are some photos from our family photo shoot.
The Harrison's also came to town and we got to visit at Disney. They also invited us on a tour of the UCF baseball stadium, which was so cool. The kids loved visiting with each other and we had fun hanging out with them.
Timmy, Tony, and Tina's favorite part of the holiday season was a sleepover with Papa and Nana!! Michelle and Donny were able to take the night off and travel to Tampa to support our UCF Knights in the Gasparilla Bowl (Knights won against Marshall 48-25).
With the New Year we are planning to spend time with Papa and Nana, who are staying in Florida this winter.
Love and Hugs,
Donny, Michelle, Timmy, Tony, and Tina

The Chimera Family:
The 4th quarter was a good time with visitors and the holidays. We did not post for Halloween but we went to our usual party(pic attached). We had my golf group in for Thanksgiving dinner and also for our annual Christmas party and gift exchange. Jacque and Connor visited just before Christmas and we rode the Pebblecreek choo choo train. We sat in the caboose with Connor. It was a short visit (24 hours) but we had a great time.

The Young Pavias have been enjoying the holiday season and unusually mild Cleveland winter. Raquel and Mom had some fun days together...they volunteered at the Cleveland Kid's Book Bank sorting books and explored the always-fun West Side Market. They also had a date night to see the Cleveland Orchestra Christmas concert. We spent Thanksgiving at Mom and Dad's house and Christmas at Aunt Janice and Uncle Shig's house. We really enjoyed a quiet New Year's Eve at home celebrating all of our new year traditions: reviewing 2019, setting goals for 2020, eating noodles for long life (Matt made the best vegan pho ever) and round fruit (grapes, oranges, etc.) for prosperity in the new year.
Love,
Matt and Raquel

The Kentucky Pavia's had a fabulous holiday season!!!! Lots of excitement around celebrating our saviors birth and anticipation of Santa!!!! Mario had a kindergarten holiday show and he was the letter Z in the play! He stole the show! Mike was very busy wrapping up his year end with work and enjoyed some much needed time off over the holiday break. Christie had a closing at the end of the year and loved the holiday preparation. We are excited to see what 2020 has in store for us. Love to all of you!
The O’DONNELL family gathered in Florida for Christmas. We wore sunglasses instead of snow boots. We had a wonderful time, filled with fun, laughter, sunshine and smiles.

The Hummels spent Christmas in Florida this year. We sure did miss all of the fun festive activities in Cleveland but we had a great time soaking in the Florida sunshine with the O’Donnells.
Baby Ava is now eight months old. She has one tooth, she loves to eat, and her favorite activity is spending time outside with the pup. She doesn’t crawl yet but we recently baby proofed the house because we know it’s coming (yikes)!
Sending lots of love from Virginia.
