Ohio Trip January 2013

This past week we traveled back home to visit family in Ohio. Our first big trip with all four of us!
We left for the airport late Thursday morning. The most stressful part of the trip was carrying all of our luggage through the airport. With two small kids, it's hard to pack light! We were relieved once we finally reached our gate, could put all our bags down and relax a little!

Bryce did great on his first flight. Cried some towards the end, but nothing to bad. The people around us commented to us that they were great! We arrived to a cold, snow covered Ohio. Addie was so excited to see snow again!

Addie did great on the plane too. She has flown at 1yr, 18 months & 2 1/2. This time was the easiest to keep her entertained and she had her own seat.

We flew into Dayton where Craig's mom picked us up. We then drove to Loveland, Ohio where we stayed at the Beachy's (Craig's aunt & uncle's) for a couple days and had a family Christmas. They made Addie and Bryce feel right at home with lots of toys to play with! When we left their house Addie said "I had fun at that house!" :)

Bryce got to meet his Great Grandma & Grandpa Knox for the first time.

We didn't spend a lot of time outside, but when we did we bundled up!

Friday January 4th was Craig's 27th birthday. We celebrated that night with a Tres Leches cake...his favorite! Addie helped decorate it with pink Barbie candles ;)

Saturday, Hollynn Photography came to the house to take family pictures. The pictures we've seen so far have been great!

caption this one! Bryce is always watching his sister...sometimes he must think she's crazy ;) 

We opened gifts later that afternoon.

Grandma was happy to have lots of snuggle time!

Saturday night we left the Beachy's and made the 3 1/2 hour drive to Wauseon. Both Addie and Bryce slept most of the way. When we got back at 11 they were both wide awake and ready to play...so we opened stockings and presents!

Bryce really didn't need any new toys...he was happy with the wrapping paper :)

Bryce got his own chef hat to match Addie's. Now they can both be little chefs in their play kitchen.

Trying out her new pink remote control car.

Bryce got a little tractor he can eventually scoot around on...Addie loved it too :)

Finally at 2am we were all in bed! The next day we had the Holman family Christmas. Bryce got to meet a lot of family for the first time.

Wednesday we went to Bryan to spend the day visiting Great Grandma & Grandpa Roan. Addie was quiet for the first few minutes of being there, but was eventually running around the house and had her Great Grandma running right along with her! 

In a couple years this smiley guy will be doing the same!

Addie and Bryce enjoyed Great Grandpa's chair while he was out getting pizza.

Thursday we went over to Great Grandma & Grandpa Holman's house to visit. Both enjoyed holding Bryce for the first time.

Here's just a few more pictures...

Breakfast time and Grandma & Grandpa's.

When we first arrived Addie was a little unsure of being around Abbey, but by the end of the trip she was always petting her and wanting to play with her. She even got her to sit! 

Here's Addie with Abbey last year.

Friday morning we left early in the morning to drive to the airport in Dayton. We all had a great visit and are hoping to go back sooner than a year from now! 

They thought it was pretty fun to sit in the same seat before we took off. They both did great during the whole flight back.
