The Cape May Convention Hall has opened up on weekends for roller skating. This was the first weekend and it was packed!! Jackson was a little unsure but Sawyer was hell on wheels.
I have joined a Dodgeball team with my Coast Guard friends and LOVE it! We play on Wednesday night and we are actually pretty good. This is the first time I have played a team sport in a long time and it feels great. Jason came to take pictures and my friend Amber game him her fiercest battle cry.
My first task as school board member was to interview and record students from the elementary school about their new playground. The video was played during the dedication ceremony. Coast Guard members and recruits helped with construction of the playground.
We left early the morning of New Years Eve for West Virginia. All the adult Fealy kids and spouses went out for a nice dinner and brought in the New Year while Grandma Fealy watched all the grandkids. This is what we found when we got home.
Christmas #2 - We got up Christmas morning to find that Santa had left a toy sack for the boys. They were beyond excited. The highlights include: a Spiderman web shooter, train track, micro charger track, camo print thermal underwear, books, games, candy and even something special for the dogs.
On Christmas Eve the Spouses Club visited with the 250 Coast Guard Recruits that were here for the holiday. They can not receive anything from home but were able to receive a stocking from us. The stockings were filled with items they are allowed to have - socks, lip balm, hand sanitizer, etc. and letters from local school children. Every recruit got a stocking and a hug. There were lots of tears.
I hope we have started a new tradition of going out for Hibachi on Christmas Eve. It was delicious and best of all - no clean up. We went with some friends....26 in all. It was a blast! The boys got new PJs and showed off some karate moves.
I lost count of all the parties we went to this Christmas. Jackson and Sawyer both had one in their classes. I went to an "ugly sweater" party with my friends. The boys sang at their parties. I don't sing. But I do play a mean game of beer pong.
We all went to a well known and very historic hotel here in Cape May called Congress Hall for breakfast with Santa. Our friends Joined us and we all had a great time. The restaurant in the hotel is called the Blue Pig, so he made and appearance too.
