Christmas in Ohio-2009

**Warning: An extreme amount of pictures in this post. Eric doesn't approve of posting so many pics... I say, who cares.

We just finished celebrating Christmas in Ohio. As always, it was full of lots of fun, and we had tons of good food and great company. Zach and Amanda (and Caden and Zara) came in Wednesday night and so we were able to have 3 full days of time with them.

First thing that Zara and Lucas did together... had a tea party. :)

Sweet Caden...Christmas day went a little something like this. Opened presents together. Ate a delicious brunch- this tradition includes egg souffle, fresh fruit, and cinnamon roll cookies. Then the kiddos played with their presents (and the adults played with theirs... we "wii'ed it up). Afternoon naps. Lasagna dinner. And then we finished our day by watching "Sound of Music" and eating Grandpa's popped popcorn and drinking Grandma's homemade grape juice. Enjoying some new toys... Looking at basketball cards... Drawing on his new easel... Check out his new paint shirt... just like Grandpa's work shirt!!
And a new combine... John Deere style...

Zara and Amanda put on a puppet show for us with Zara's new puppets and theater... Gathering for the movie and popcorn...
