Home (Ohio home) for the holidays

Brian, Guthrie and I travelled to Cinci for a great week-long visit at home in Ohio. My dad worked really hard to get the basement room ready and cozy for us for our time at the Roush's (thanks!)- we have plush arrangements at both the Roush and Sanders' houses! Time was filled with games, talking, hanging out by the fire (my personal favorite- Guthrie liked it too), and resting. Oh, and eating lots of Skyline!

I feel that it's important to start this post with this picture as proof that kids don't really need toys: here's Mr. Man surrounded by all sorts of goodies and what is he playing with? A measuring cup, of course! He really liked opening presents- tearing paper and trying to eat it. While he got some cool stuff that he's enjoyed since, I think we could've just wrapped empty boxes and let him go to town.
Checking out the jack-in-the-box with dad. We were thoroughly disappointed that he wasn't scared of it and only tried to eat the surprise clown. Oooooo. More things to tear.
