Colin's 13th Birthday

Kalamazoo Wings

Some friends took us to a Minor League Hockey game in Kalamazoo Michigan. We had so much fun & the people watching was a great time, too!

We LOVE fights!!!

Snow Fun!

Fiesta Bowl

We had the Kramers (Buckeyes) and Kehoes (Fighting Irish) over to watch the game. We had the bands playing, flags waving and did our best to keep it civilized!

Braces for Reis

Little Reisy got braces today & he did a great job! He'll be having lots of milkshakes & jell-0 for the next couple of days. We've decided Reis needs to be an orthodontist after we got the bill!

Gingerbread Houses

It was ridiculous cold today, so we decided to have a couple of our super-cute neighbors come over to have hot chocolate and decorate gingerbread houses. It was extra special because Pupa Ed could be here to help!

Reis, Emily, Colin & Lauren with their masterpieces!

Brunch with Santa & The Nutcracker

We had brunch with Santa this morning and went to see the Nutcracker this afternoon. The boys are so done with me!
