She also got some pet shop toys she loves!! Addison got some might beanz and some monster trucks!! The love all of the things they got!

Patrick Christmas

Sunday we traveled to Circleville for the Patrick Christmas! We stopped to visit Addison and Ayla's Great-Great Grandma Arledge, they were very good to her and we enjoyed our visit! Then we went to Grandma Patricks, ate, had gift exchanges and then a special surprise arrived.....Santa and Mrs. Clause.  Addison asked him if he came on his sleigh and he did not, he said it was getting for Christmas Eve!!  We had a great time thanks to the Patrick family for a fun day!! We love you all!!!

Snow Day # 2

Can you believe we already had our second snow day of the year!!  ( we also had 2 2hour delays)  We have had a good day today, made more cookies, wrapped presents and played in the snow!! It is very cold so we could not stay out long!

Cookie Time

We decided to make buckeye's and sugar cookies today.... Boy was it fun! Tami joined us and brought sprinkles...how nice.. as she put it, "it feels like we are at the beach walking around the island.."  What a huge mess.  I thought Addison and Ayla would loss interest much sooner than they did, they didn't  lose interest at all!! Thanks for a fun day!!

Zoolights

Friday night we went to the Columbus Zoo to see the lights.  It was awesome.  They were better than last year, lights everywhere!  We saw santa's Reindeer, and we saw a camel which was sooooo cool.  Addison thought they would have camels for us to see since it was Christmas, we saw the polar bears and flying fox!!  We had an awesome time.  We really didn't want to visit Santa this year.. We wrote him a letter, that was good this year I guess.  It was very crowed but well worth the trip!! Lots of signs around advertising the Wilds, Addison and Ayla noticed so that is very exciting to see what will happen next at the Wilds!! 

Dresden Christmas Parade

 Saturday night we went to the Dresden Christmas Parade, we met Ava and Lyla there... It was cold but lots of fun!!  Our favorite were the horses.. They were so pretty!!

Then finally the end was Santa on a firetruck!! Boy we are ready for Santa now.....
