Ohio Christmas

Santa was very generous this year!  We enjoyed a wonderful White Christmas in Niles with David's parents.    We celebrated Christmas Eve on the 23rd, with lots of family coming over.  We also got to see Christy's Aunt Joyce and Uncle Gene who came from Pittsburgh for lunch and a nice afternoon on Christmas Eve.  Finally, on Christmas Day we went to visit David's Aunt in Toronto for more family time and Christmas fun.

now Nicholas can be just like Doc McStuffins!

GG and Grumpa gave Claire the doll cradle that was Christy's when she was a baby, as well as the photos!

Nicholas got a cool Tonka trunk just like Grumpa had when he was a kid

inside the cradle was Claire's first American Girl doll--Bitty Baby!

mommy got a baby doll for her cradle, too!

Santa even visited Grandma and Grandpa's house on Christmas Eve!

Claire and Nicholas both loved the Minnie vacuum

Claire also thought the box was pretty cool

and Nicholas' juice

and they both love their new cell phones

Christmas morning--waffles, our favorite!

thanks Aunt Katie and Uncle Jeff!
