Santa made a pit stop???

Santa made a pit stop and delivered a present to the boys a little early. Brennan asked Santa for a Maltese puppy. Here is the newest member of our family...ZOEY! We all LOVE this sweet little puppy. She has brought us such joy and excitement while we wait for our daughter Lily. (No news on Lily. We are WAITING! We're in it for the long haul. So happy for our friends who just got their LID! We could be going to China at the same time to get our babies!)

Festival of Lights

Here are the boys in front of a HUGE Christmas Tree at the Festival of Lights.

It's December already?

I can't hardly believe it's already December. Time flies when you're having fun. Our family has been very busy following Brennan playing basketball, and trying to continue some of our favorite Holiday traditions.

When Doug was a little boy, he and his family would venture to the Conservatory, and to see the CG&E train display. We have started this tradition with our own family as well. We were able to go this past Sat. and had the BEST family day! We also went to The Cincy Zoo and enjoyed the Festival of Lights the day after Thanksgiving. The Polar express 4d presentation was a lot of fun. The boys enjoyed a man who created an ice sculpture. WOW. What a talent to make a block of ice look like a masterpiece!

All I can say is that I feel INCREDIBLY blessed!! We have so very much to be thankful for.

Wishing you and yours a Blessed Christmas remembering the true meaning of this season.
