December Phone Pics






























We sure crammed A LOT of fun into December. Between Christmas-related activities and birthday parties, we also squeezed in visits to the zoo, children's museum, and Krohn Conservatory (see separate post).

Christmas

The pictures say it all. We had a great Christmas! Lots of good food, time spent with family, and, of course, some new fun presents.

The day after Christmas, Leslee, Jon, Quinn, and Connor came over to our house for dinner, some cousin playing time, and more presents. We all had a blast! :)

Cincinnati Museum Center and Krohn Conservatory

In between Christmas and New Year's, we took a trip to Cincinnati to explore the Children's Museum and check out the Krohn Conservatory. It was a fun day! Here are some pictures of the fun!
