Yohigho!!

Yes, I realize we have been home for more than a week and I should have posted these pictures on Saturday, the day after we arrived back. But you see, I have a newborn at home. A very cute, hairy pee pee smelling newborn that doesn't understand that he needs to sleep through the night and pee outside. Combine that with a husband that conveniently went out of town for the week after getting puppy...well, I was tired. I fell asleep every night after telling the kids stories and spent my days chasing a dog out of certain areas that he was so fond of peeing in (why is carpet so much better to pee on than grass, deck, or even hardwood floors??) and cleaning up that pee. Well, here we are, YOHIGHO! 
We arrived late Friday night and landed in Ohio's first snowfall of the year. Driving down the highway we were surrounded by trees dusted with white, slushy roads and falling snow. We were so excited- we couldn't wait to wake up and play, build snowmen, throw snowballs...but alas, that was not to be. Thankfully, it did snow again during the day and we were so very excited to get out there and catch some snowflakes.
(and by we I mean me...I was a tad obsessive about getting the kids out before the snow stopped so I could grab that all important picture of them in their first snowfall...Sorry Brady...next time I'll let you put on some real clothes. At least the kids had their super cute hats on.)
After playing outside and having the most fun ever playing with all the apples that had fallen from Gram's tree, we headed on inside to play some Monster Match and Go Fish! that Gram thankfully played over and over and over again.
The next day was a little warmer, but a tad bit more treacherous. Did you know that Gram has an abominable snowman living in her backyard?! Thankfully Daddy showed us all the correct way to fight them. 
 We love you D'd and Toddfinney.
The rest of the time? We just played and played, loved Grandma, spent time with family and found a super fun park to play in that had zip lines, tire swings and loads of bad guys. 
Did I mention we loved Grandma. Yeah, just a little bit.
 Until next time, Yohigho.
