Christmas in OH

We spent Christmas in Ohio this year and had so much fun. It was so nice to have everyone home! We played lots of games, Mel and I put together a few puzzles, saw 4 movies, ate way too much yummy food and just relaxed. It was perfect! :) Brayden opening new pj's on Christmas Eve!
Ty was just not in the mood for pictures
until we gave him food and life was good again
Eddie liked to lick Brayden's face
Family pic with our new jammies
all the kids
Being silly boys
We tried to do something really cool for our sisters picture and this is how we all ended up
so we decided to just be normal
My parents with their youngest child
cute sisters
Brayden and Kyle throwing carrots out for Santa's reindeer
Christmas morning we were all SO tired that we slept in until 9:30...even my kids! That is like unheard of on Christmas! It was awesome!!
We all have to line up on the stairs and answer a christmas question before we can go down. Brayden's question was who's birth do we celebrate at Christmas. He refused to answer it and told us that he knew the answer but he just didn't want to tell us! haha. Gotta love it!
Presents!!!
I forgot to take a picture but Wii loved the present my parents got us! :) Thank you guys!!! Ty was a little overwhelmed by it all
Kelly with her OSU snuggie...I mocked these things but I have to admit they are awesome! My parents got me one too and Guy and I fight over it at night when we watch movies now!!
Santa brought him the mack truck he wanted BB in a Christmas daze
Dinosaur mask from Kyle
My mom in her new scuba mask...my parents Christmas present to eachother was a cruise to the Carribean in January!!!
jumping in wrapping paper piles
Ty taking over BB's new helicopter while he was gone
Kyle got a balloon making kit and this is what he made...the animals were too hard!
Hanging out with Jason
Kyle and BB listening to Kyle's ipod in the car. The only song Brayden wants to listen to is Life is a Highway from Cars. He is truly obsessed
We went to out to Easton one day and had some fun at Gameworks` Skiball
JJ, Kel, Mel, and Kyle playing some balloon game
We played in a phone booth waiting for our dinner at the best place in the world...cheesecake factory!! Thanks papa gigo!
My dad squeezed in too
We went to COSI, which is like a big hands on kids museum, and had a blast! I seriously would get a pass if I lived at home because my kids loved it. They had a really cute little kids area with lots of fun things to do!!
Huge light bright
Building with dad
Trying to pull himself up with dad's help
Melissa and BB
Typical Ty...only one sock
Playin in the water with Melissa
Waiting in line with his best bud
BB and Ellie getting ready to try out the space shuttle. BB was a little nervous! Tyler liked pushing the buttons he could reach
The little kid water area was so fun!
The whole trip Brayden just wanted to play in the snow so Kyle finally took him. Its so nice to have a younger brother to do those things for ya cause I had no desire to play in the freezing cold!! Thanks Kyle
Kyle got a snowball maker for Christmas which was pretty fun
They attempted to make a snowman in the backyard Wearing Kyle's huge gloves
We had a great New Years too filled with lots of games played and confetti. Yes, both my kids were awake for it...I'm an awesome mother! Tyler was asleep but he woke up right before so we just let him stay up!
We had such a great time being home and were sad to say goodbye to everyone! Living far away is just not fun! :(
But I'm excited its 2010 and for the new adventures it will bring! Guy's job will end in Dallas this year so we'll be heading somewhere else...not sure where yet but hopefully we will know soon!
Hope everyone had a great Christmas and New Years!!
P.S. I am SO glad that the buckeyes beat the ducks in the rose bowl...it was the BEST way to start 2010!!! :)
