In our family, traditions have always been an important part of our heritage. Hess family and Kolbell family traditions have been "married" for more than 42 years.

| Messina Family |

| Kolbell Family |
Holidays and celebrations have highlighted these customs and practices
 |
| Pasta for every celebratory meal |
 |
| Calamari, ready to go into hot oil ~ Seven Fishes on Christmas Eve |
When our children came along we created new traditions...
 |
| Cookies for Santa |
 |
| Halloween Parties (1987) |
and we continue to do so....
 |
Resurrection Rolls
|
Some things never change, and we're so very happy for that....

| Easter Mass at Sts. Peter & Paul Parish ~ 2013 |
 |
| Colored eggs the old fashioned way |
 |
| My cutout sugar cookies with symbols of our faith |
 |
| Easter baskets |
So, thank you Mom and Dad, Mom and Pop for giving us the traditions we treasure, and encouraging us to build our own....
Sending you Easter Peace and Love as we continue through this most sacred time of year. Thank you for sharing your precious time with me!
