Merry Christmas

We hosted Christmas this year at our house. Amber's parents drove down from Ohio. We were also blessed to have my brother, Aaron, his wife, Virginia, and their children with us as well. We rounded out our crowd with my sister, Jessica, from Nashville. It was a wonderful holiday. The weather was warm and beautiful. (Pictured: My mom, Virginia, My dad, me)

Ethan got a Columbus Bluejacket's Hockey Jersey with his name on it. He loves it! He also got a pair of rollerblades from his grandparents. He got a pitchback to practice catching his baseballs from mom and dad. I think his favorite was the first season of Wonder Woman on DVD.



Tyler got everything Thomas the Train. His papa also got him a punching bag with boxing gloves. (Thanks, Dad!) Chris got me a new Coach purse and I love it!

It was great to have Aunt Jessie here for the holidays. She had a great time playing with all of the kids. (Pictured: Ethan, Ireland, Riley, Tyler, Aiden, Aunt Jessie)

Horsing Around

We went to South Carolina to visit Chris' parents for Thanksgiving. The boys had a great weekend, spending time with their grandparents. Ethan got to ride the big horse. He seems to be a natural. He did a great job steering the horse and did not seem scared at all. Uncle Jamie came out and took Ethan and Cousin Dylan on the four wheeler.

Tyler got the ride the minature horse, Cupcake. He loved the horse and was feerless. While we were there, Papa bought a pony and a wagon for the kids to ride around in. They both seemed to love it. Chris is taking the boys back to visit next weekend and the boys are going to ride in a Christmas parade with the new pony and wagon.

I'm sorry the postings are a little sporadic. I went back to work at the beginning of November. I am teaching math at the local high school. Our schedule is very busy, but it is nice to be back at work. Tyler is attending a local preschool and he loves it! I am really looking forward to Christmas break!
