Fun in Ohio

During Christmas break, we were able to go to Ohio for a couple of days to visit with Bob, Janelle, and Olivia. Thanks for letting us invade your home for awhile, Bob and Janelle! We really enjoyed visiting with you guys. Thanks for taking us to "Jungle Jim's" and "Ikea". We miss you and hope to see you again soon.

We visited with Dan's cousin, JD, and his family while in Ohio. Here is a picture of all of us at JD's house.

Christmas in Tennesee

We always enjoy spending Christmas with my parents in Tennessee, and this year was even more fun. Peter was old enough this year to understand and anticipate Christmas, and we loved watching his excitement on Christmas day. Peter and Andrew both loved all of their gifts and getting time to play with Pa Paw and Gram. Thanks Mom and Dad for your hospitality and making Christmas fun this year.

Happy Birthday Dan

We celebrated Dan's birthday while in TN with my parents. My mom put together a fun little party and Peter loved helping Daddy open his presents and blow out the candles.

Happy birthday, Daddy!

Playing in the snow in Tennessee

During Dan's Christmas break, we spent some time in Tennessee with my parents. We were happy to see a lot of snow when we arrived, and took the boys out to play in it one morning.

Andrew and Mommy

Andrew was not sure what to think of the snow. And yes, those are socks on his hands - we forgot his gloves.

Yummy Christmas Craft

Dan did this with the kids one night before Christmas while I was at work. I thought it was really creative - and it looked like the kids had a lot of fun.
