No Running on the Stairs, Mommy!

My splint on my foot - after my fall on the stairs - nothing broken luckily

Zoe told me that it was her fault because she should have reminded me,
"No running on the stairs!"

Our last Christmas...

Well, with a visit from the Messners this weekend, we've officially finished Christmasing. Zoe had a great time playing with Bailey & Tanner. Bailey & Zoe spent most of Friday night having a sleepover with no sleeping. They were not asleep until after 11pm, were both downstairs at 2am for some strange reason - I think they might have both been sleepwalking & at 6:30am, Tony & I heard Bailey yell, "Snowball fight!". The girls were both tired Saturday & even took naps - something Zoe hasn't done for over a year.

Zoe had fun showing Bailey how to play tennis, baseball & bowling on the Wii. After the kiddos went to bed, the adults had some fun playing guitar hero with a newly acquired second guitar. It is safe to say that we will all be keeping our day jobs.

Zoe's Snowgirl

Zoe & Poppa made a snowgirl today whose name is suprisingly, Zoe!

Sledding

The ride up was pretty easy on Zoe...

Poppa & Zoe going down backwards...

Zoe was a little cold by the time we got to the car...

That's snow stuck in my hair - for some silly reason, I didn't wear a hat, only earmuffs.

Zoe, Poppa Dave, Mommy & Daddy all headed out to the hill today for some sledding. It was great, but cold, snowy fun! We all enjoyed our hot chocolate afterwards.

A *Captive* Audience

Zoe & Nate "playing" under the table.

Notice how Zoe has strategically placed the chair behind him, so he can't escape.

Zoe has decided that she really likes it when Nate is in his walker. She can move him wherever she wants & make him watch her play.

So Close...

Well, at least we looked good in our OSU wear. Actually, Tony & I both enjoyed watching the game (especially, because the kids were in bed). Even though the Buckeyes ended up with another BCS loss, at least it wasn't as embarrassing as years past.

Happy New Year!

Poker Shark

Daddy had some friends over to play poker tonight & lucky for all of them, they played after Zoe's bedtime. When Zoe saw Lew getting the chips organized, Zoe immediately got her chips out & lined up ready to play. Too cute!

Christmas Day

I am sure Nate will love this picture when he gets older.

Zoe exclaimed, "Look! I got a wand with PJs and slippers!"

Presents, presents & more presents.

Notice Zoe has her hands on Nate's head.

Snow Day

Today was a snow much fun day. Zoe & Daddy both stayed home because we got over 9 inches of snow quickly in the early morning hours. Zoe had a great time *helping* shovel the snow while Nate watched on from indoors.
