Our Christmas

Well, we hope everyone had a fabulous Christmas! We had a great, but very busy, Christmas back home in Cincinnati. Lots of family events to make it to, and many of our family members met Ty for the first time! So let me tell you about our eventful Christmas. To start it all off, I get a call from Josh the day before Christmas Eve telling me he was on his way to the emergency room! Yikes! Turns out, he was training with some guys (boxing) and his cheekbone split open while slipping a punch. So, Josh spent this Christmas explaining what happened to his eye! I wish I could take the credit for it, but no, I didn't knock him out! :-)

Ty's first Christmas and daddy has a black eye! Lol!

Josh, Ty, and I had our own little family Christmas on Tuesday night, because we went back to Cincinnati on Christmas Eve. Here is a picture of Ty with his new Transformer toy that is almost as big as he is!

Christmas Eve was spent at my sister's house with my dad's extended family. Here are some pics:

Ty got so many toys and clothes for Christmas, it was crazy! Thank you, family, for all the nice things you gave us! Josh and I got some really nice gifts too! We are so incredibly blessed! Josh and I got a Wii (thanks to our friends the Sunderman's) for our family present! We are so excited to get it set up and start playing!

Josh and I also got to have a night out with friends, Matt and Teresa, while we were in Cincy. We had a blast hanging out with them! We also had a blast watching the UFC fights on Saturday night at our friends, the Hupp's, house. It's been a long time since we've done that, and we had so much fun!

So, that was our fun, but busy, Christmas holiday. Thanks, again, to all our friends and family for the awesome gifts, and just being together for the holidays!
