Bowling




We had some coupons for the local bowling alley, so we took the boys bowling for their first time. They seemed to have fun! They loved to push the ball down the ramp and then clap and cheer, I am not sure if they knew why they were cheering, but they were having fun!

Christmas 2009

This was definitely a fun Christmas for Austin! He was so excited for Santa to come to our house! We were getting ready for bed on Christmas Eve and he looked out the window and saw Rudolph's nose blinking brightly in the sky off in the distance, so he wanted to hurry and get into bed so that Santa didn't miss our house.
Both of the boys were in bed at 7:30!
The first thing that he did when he woke up was look to see if Santa ate the treats that he left for him and HE DID and left he left him a note. As you can see, he is little excited!
Then, he went to see what Santa left for him! He got everything that he asked Santa for, guess he was a good boy this year!
Alex was also thrilled with what Santa left for him!

Austin had so much fun opening the presents, that he opened them ALL, it didn't matter who they were for, he helped everyone!



I think that we set up and destroyed this track at least 5 times throughout the day!!


Check out our Christmas MESS! We had a wonderful Christmas! The boys are very excited about all of their new toys!! Thanks so much everybody!!

BUILD-A-BEAR

We went to Build-a-Bear last Saturday for an early Christmas present for the boys. Austin made Frosty the Snowman and Alex made Hal the Holiday Moose. The were just thrilled! Alex wants to take Hal everywhere with him, including to bed! As you can see below, Alex just loves to love on Hal and Austin loves his Frosty!

SNOW!!

It snowed last weekend and actually enough to play in! The boys had a ball playing in the backyard! It is Alex's first winter to actually enjoy the snow. He looks out the window and says SNOWWW! Austin was trying to figure out how to make a snowball and throw it at us!


"Train"gerbread (WRECK)




We bought a Gingerbread Train kit, that Austin referred to a Traingerbread! He was so excited to put it together, I didn't think that Jared would ever get home from work. Austin was asking ALL day long! It was fun to put it together, but it didn't go so well, it wasn't staying together very well! The boys had a blast, mainly because they liked eating the candy!

Santa Repelling in Downtown Cincy!

We went Downtown Cincinnati to check out all of the Holiday sights. This is the Holiday train display, it was quite the hit with the boys!Here is a video of Santa, Rudolph and an Elf repelling down the Macy's building.


Indianapolis Children's Museum

We went to the Indianaplois Children's Museum on Thursday, December 3. We had a lot of fun! It is a huge place. We were there from 10am-4pm and still didn't see everything. The boys were asleep within 5 minutes of being in the car afterward! They were definitely worn out!
The boys saw Santa and one of his elves!! They were very excited! This is the Yule Slide! It reminded me of the slide on "A Christmas Story"! It was a lot of fun and kind of fast! I think we went down it 5 times!
The boys were very excited to drive a real race car!

This horse was only 1 penny. Austin loved it, but Alex wasn't so thrilled by it! It was kind of jerky, it was the very first ride on horse in the US.

Holiday Junction (Cincinnati Museum Center)

Austin was so excited to see Santa and tell him what he wants for Christmas, and he was even more excited that Mrs. Claus was there as well! The Museum Center had a whole Christmas set up centered around trains! As you can imagine both of the boys were just thrilled! They rode a little train, played with trains on a train table and watched all of the model trains! We had a fun time!


Festival of Lights at the Cincinnati Zoo

The Boys love to ride the carousel at the zoo!


We were saying hi to this goat in the petting zoo and he reached out and stole Alex's glove and then CHEWED it up and ATE it!!! As you can see below, Alex was not amused!
We met all kinds of Christmas characters, like the Gingerbread man below!

We had such a great time seeing all of the Christmas lights and watching Santa light the BIG Christmas tree! Both of my boys take after me and LOVE Christmas and everything about it!
