Thanksgiving/ Christmas 2017 Ohio

We had not been home to Ohio since August which was a very quick trip for a wedding.   It was nice to have more time home with my parents and my brother and his family too.   We snagged some moments with the Schmitz ladies (minus Chloe) and coffee with Leah too.   We also celebrated Christmas early with my family.  

Cute comments as we were planning our Ohio trip. 
Gracie said of the Toledo Zoo in the winter "I would like the lights at the zoo if it were inside and did not smell".  She is like her mama! 

Maggie said of the winter trees that had dropped all their leaves in the fall "The trees are naked".

Gracie as we were talking about the differences between Northern and Southern Thanksgiving food "what are we going to eat, normal food?"  as the discussion went on "what do these people eat" with a lot of expression.  ha 


Ellie rode up early with us.

Very special ladies to us!   Chloe we missed you! 


We had to document BLUE sky in Ohio! 

Gracie loves being a big cousin! 

A full house sure made my parents happy! 

Morning snuggles! 

This little boy only wants his Mama and Gjysh most the time! 

Thanksgiving Day ride on the golf car at my Grandma Sutton's house 




Thanksgiving Day next stop was Grandma Whitmer's house. 
 Time to celebrate Christmas with my family.  We love doing the big saran ball.



Mom and Dad are dreaming of a day they have a horse! 
My love!!  
 The girls played in the leaves with KK!







Before we left we stopped by the horse farm where KK volunteers.   The girls loved to see the new horses that were in.   Gabe and KK went to the Michigan- Ohio State football game.



We headed home but they stayed an extra day and enjoyed the parade with my parents.  It sure was cold! 


Mom and Dad have all kinds of fun things the girls can pick out of a treasure box.  Maggie picked  this pen to decorate the windows.  Daddy was so flexible.
