Christmas!!

A couple of days before Christmas we headed to the Columbus Library Main Branch to check out their train set.  It was pretty cool. 

Who didn't love the movie Twins?  Here is Kevin and Ronan's attempt at being twins (with Kevin as DeVito, of course)

Cute Pirates (These were at the library too)

 Cutest Pirate

 Still cute on the way home.

Getting ready for Christmas with Jama and Papa.  The Murphs came down the weekend before Christmas to celebrate. 

                      

Jama and Papa got Ronan this ball pit.  It was instant love.  For days he called for "BALL, BALL, BALL" as soon as he woke up each morning.  This is a picture with all the balls that came with the ball pit.

  This is how many balls there were when I came home from work the next day.  Jama and Papa are such suckers.

This is what "BALL OVERLOAD" looks like...in case you were wondering.

We decided to stay at our place for Christmas Eve and Christmas Day.  We had Mike, Melissa, Reagan, and Melissa's parents over for Christmas Eve.  Christmas day stayed put and played with all our new toys.  It was relaxing and super fun.  Wrapping presents and watching Christmas movies is exhausting.  Yes, my pajamas are pretty sexy.

Christmas morning!!  I wondered if a 16 month old would get into Christmas.  Conclusion?  Lots of new toys, lots of attention...yes, 16 month olds dig Christmas.

As indicated by our previous video, perhaps the best gift of the year was Elmo.  Here's Ronan making sure Elmo stays hydrated while they shop.

New Aprons!

Ready to cook!

Making Christmas dinner

Sitting on his new bench that Papa made for him.

I love Elmo!

The day after Christmas we headed to Canton to see the McCanns.  Ronan and Cade got plenty of "cousin time".

His first bike!  Thanks Juju and Boppy!! 

Safety first. 

Two cousins.  Two Elmos.  Maybe the obsession runs in the family...

We even took a ride outside once we got home because it was so warm the week after Christmas.
