A Captive Audience

Buon Natale

We had a very Merry Chattanooga Christmas of our own the Sunday before we left for Ohio. Sofia was VERY EXCITED to get a play kitchen from Babbo Natale, aka Santa Clause.

The happy chef loves making swiss cheese and steak sandwiches!

Little Boys Blue

My parents' neighbor, Mena, crocheted bonnets for Jack and Ben when they were born. They are so sweet! These really show that the boys have been growing because they barely fit them now!






The first 2 pics are of Ben.











The last 2 pics are of Jack.

COOKIES!!!!!!!

We've been baking cookies like mad at our house. It's been a fun mother-daughter activity for Sofia and I to do together. Grandpa Pieton got to join in the fun while he was here visiting. Sofia had so much fun decorating cut-outs.

Go Buckeyes!

Jack, Ben, and Sofia were so excited about the OSU/Michigan game. They got all dressed up in their gear to watch the game.




We even had OSU pasta salad!
