Christmas Wonderland

As many of you know, Steven and I LOVE Christmas! This year is no different, only we had the fun of decorating our new house. Here are just a few pictures, I just don't have the right camera settings to do all of the lights justice:)







Jolly Days at the Children's Museum

Saturday we met up with Joe, Kim, and the boys to enjoy some time at the Children's Museum. We had so much fun. The boys are really amazing to see in there, they don't go very often, but they can remember all the details of the things they like the most! Kim and I both took tons of pictures, so be sure to check out our photo site to see all the pictures (http://www.mjaj4.shutterfly.com/)


Hey, these guys are our size!
We spent a lot of time in the Scienceworks area...I think all the boys loved the water!

Lost in the Dinosphere!


An Andrewasaurus :)

Dominic was so brave that he even tried Rock Climbing!! He made it halfway up the wall on his first try! Can't wait to see how far he goes the next time:)

Sir Cheeseball and Kim
Then we traveled to Egypt. Andrew wanted to take pictures, so we each posed for the other photographer...too bad my eyes were closed, I think he's gonna be a pro!


YULE SLIDE--Dominic was the winner

No trip would be complete without a chat with Santa







Yuletide Celebration


Since Steven and I started dating we have had the tradition of attending Yuletide Celebration. This year was no different and it was a FABULOUS show!! Unfortunately, you can't take photos during the performance, but imagine an evening of great music from the Indianapolis Symphony Orchestra, a fun performance with "Rockin' Rory" from America's Got Talent, Maureen McGovern as the host, and a Liberace impersonator that was so true to the real Liberace that it was spooky. I wish I had a photo of the 'glamorous' outfits this man wore...
talk about Vegas in Indy:)


We did have a nice night to walk around the circle, which is so pretty at Christmas.
We hope you're enjoying your Christmas season!!

Columbus Christmas Parade

Steven and I joined the Sexton family in Columbus for the annual Columbus "Festival of Lights" Parade. This year they also combined the Christmas fireworks with the City Hall tree lighting. Although it was a little cold, we still had a lot of fun!! The parade has all the high school and middle school bands, lots of tractors, convertibles, and EVERYTHING has LIGHTS!! It's a great way to start the month of December! Keep watching the blog for pictures of our own Christmas wonderland. After almost a month of preparing, we finally have all of the lights and decorations up inside and outside of the house!


Getting ready to face the cold!


Yes, Virginia, it IS a trash truck!!
