Our Ohio Trip

Through December 18th to the 21st we went to Ohio to visit
family on Brenda's side. On our first day there, there was an
ice storm and homes everywhere lost power including our Grand-
parent's house along with our other family's too. We ended up spending the
rest of our nights in a hotel because the house was so cold.
Thankfully during our stay our Aunt and cousin's house gained power
so we went to their homes and hung out two of the days we were there. Even in
the cold and loss of power we had a great time visiting with our family.


The temperature got down to -28 below zero. But Sunday morning
Brian and the kids went out and played right outside our hotel

On Saturday afternoon we went to our Aunt Beth's house.
Then that night we went to our cousins' church and saw
Jonathan lead worship

We got to meet our four-month-old baby cousin, Keston.
We loved holding him and watching him smile.
He's such a cutie!

Jesse reading to Caleb, our adorable
two year old cousin.

PopPop told stories about fighting in
World War II. So interesting!

Sunday we spent the day at the Gorman's house.
We had a feast for lunch and played games and hung out all afternoon.
