Christmas in Ohio

On Christmas Day we left for Ohio to visit David's side of the family. The kids were so excited to see their cousins Aaron and Brayson. On Saturday we spent some time with the grandparents and then had a great dinner out. That night David and I attended our first Cousin's Night. It is a tradition in his family that all the cousins get together the day after Christmas. Drinks, games, and fun conversation made it a great night. On Sunday we took the kids, Aaron, and David's dad to see the Akron Zips basketball game. It was a fun game to watch and Lauren still insists she is going to go to school there. She was not enjoying the cold walk on campus and David and I explained to her that it gets a lot colder than our 30 degree day we had. Her smile seemed to fade away at that thought. On Monday we awoke to a couple of inches of snow. The kids had a great time playing in the snow even if the wind chill was 5 degrees. Then we went to our new favorite Amherst restaurant....Hot Dog Heaven. We just love their dogs and fries. It was a great holiday trip!
