Ohio!

The week before Christmas, we had the chance to visit some of Grant's family in Ohio. His sister, Amanda, and her family were kind enough to host and it was wonderful! Some of his other family members were able to come out as well, so we were happy to get to spend some time with the Zinns!

Emily got lots of quality Grandma Barb time in :)

The grandkids got to open some presents a week early!

And the girls got this adorable Matilda Jane tea set from Grandma Barb^

all dressed up for church!

Emily loves her cousin Emma!

we went to a fun children's museum

Addie was hoarding all the money!

Grant and I celebrated our 6th wedding anniversary while we were there. We were lucky to go out for a date to BJ's and to see Rogue One. Thanks to everyone who helped babysit!

gingerbread houses!!

Aunt Marnie and Addie have their birthdays close together, so we did a little joint party for them.

unlike her sister at that age, Addie had no fear blowing out the candles

No trip with Aunt Irene is complete without a mani/pedi!

while we didn't get to see much snow (some little flurries), it was still fun to be in extra cold weather. It was so cute seeing the girls all bundled up and they wanted to be outside as much as possible!

Emily loved the American girl store!

ice skating!!

my heart^

We had such a great time! Thanks again to the Goates for hosting! We can't wait until the next time we get to spend with the Zinns!
