Happy New Year!

Well, it's official- we've all had the flu now. We thought mommy was going to make it, but she got sick this week and was so sick we had to take her to the hospital. Because mommy was still sick we couldn't go to Cleveland for New Year's Eve. Instead we watched the Buckeyes play basketball and Chase and I had our own little celebration.

Mommy was feeling better on New Year's Day, so we decided to drive up to Cleveland as we hadn't seen any of daddy's family for Christmas.

Papa had to work, so we opened presents with Grandma. Chase got his own computer and I got my Ohio State basketball jersey!

Once we were done Uncle Ryan, Aunt Liza, Austin and Paige came to visit too. After dinner we opened presents with them. Chase got a really cool Handy Manny play set and I got a talking View Master.

Grandma and Papa bought us all OSU shirts for Christmas- aren't we just too cute??!!

After we were all done with presents, Grandma had a surprise for us- gingerbread houses! It was a little tough to get them together and very messy, but in the end we had four standing decorated houses!

Once I was done with my house I got to play Mario Kart! I had been waiting all week to play with Austin. I also raced Papa and Uncle Ryan.

Chase had a blast playing with Paige as usual. He got to do all his favorite things- vacuum, dress up and just play.

At the end of the night we were all tired. Chase and I slept all of the way home and I think mommy took a nap too.

Back to school and work tomorrow. Happy New Year!
