Christmas 2010

We traveled to Cincinnati for Christmas! We flew after what happened on our Thanksgiving trip. I was so thankful Anna did not cry on the flight. Much more expensive, but much more pleasant than driving. We stayed at the Westin and had a view of fountain square. Silas and Anna loved watching the ice skaters. We went to see the train exhibit, which I went to every year growing up. Silas and Anna had a lot of fun playing with their cousins. We also got to see baby Emilie!

Santa came before we left!!

Photo Shoot Attempt

I scheduled a photographer in November. She had to cancel and reschedule due to contractions. On the rescheduled date she gave birth. I don't have the best luck with photographers. It was late in the game to find another photographer for Christmas photos, so I attempted to do it myself. I took a few, but the kids kept having meltdowns. I was glad that a week later, a new photographer in town met us for a photo shoot. Who takes outside pictures in December... I guess we do. We had to defrost after the session, but the photos turned out great.

Little Acrobat

You cannot leave Anna Kate alone for one second!! Not only does she like to climb on boxes as shown. On a daily basis she climbs up on a chair to attempt to unlock the back door... I am in big trouble!!
