The Big 40!

Yes - Because of someones BIG 40 - I got to enjoy one of the best steaks I have ever eaten in my entire life!  
 .... and Amy tried Lobster for the first time....
 all because the best parents in the WORLD - 
have been married for 40 YEARS!  
 We enjoyed a relaxing evening at Don's Pomeroy for dinner and time together.  We are thankful for the great influence our  parents have been to us over the years and how they have raised us.

 The waitress took our picture with a Polaroid Camera...
 which gave us all a great laugh - we didn't know
those cameras still existed. 
ps... we missed Jill & Ryan...
Sadly we had to plan the event without them.

Christmas @ Papa & Grandma Bonnie's on Wednesday

Warning: Long post - with lots of pictures :o)

We started our Christmas Early on Wednesday morning since Uncle Curt had to drive to Cleveland for work and the Baltics were leaving for Florida.  We weren't planning on a snow storm.  So we quickly opened presents, eat lunch, had a birthday party, opened birthday gift and then relaxed the rest of the day at Pa-pa & Grandma Bonnies - after Uncle Curt and Baltics were gone.

Here is the whole gang opening gifts.
Ryder, Cooper, Eli & Tagen.
 Mr. Green Bean - one of the few pictures I got of him over Christmas.
 The Butler Familiy
 Mr. Walter
 Maddie helping Grady open his present.
 Willow and her doll house.
 Pink Bean - who doesn't look excited in any of her pictures, but was thrilled to get a camera! 
 Reese with a Drum set.  Last year she got a Karaoke machine.  So I would have to say the the Ingold house has to be a jammin place.  She was also thrilled for her drums!  But don't worry - her daddy had the drums open and put together in no time - and I think he was just as thrilled!  
 Pink Bean got a Playmobil school bus from Scarlett for Christmas.
 Tagen got a School Printed shirt from Adam for Christmas.
 Adam was stunned that he actually got the i-pod he was begging for, from his Mom & Grandma Bonnie.  He was shocked - he thought it was barn fencing - since that is what the box was. 
 It's sad the the girls are getting so big!  They used to be excited over toys and now they are thrilled for clothes.  Molly and Megan both got a pair of "Miss Me" Jeans.  It was fun to see all the girls get excited over clothes.  Made me think of the good old days with IOU clothing.  Does anyone remember that line of clothing?
 For those who don't know what Miss Me jeans are.  They are jeans with gems on the back pockets.  *I had no clue what miss me jeans were.  Man I am behind times!!!
 I love the expression of Tori, Megs & Amy in this picture.
 The girls also got an Under Armour sweat shirts from Aunt Jill and Aunt Amy.
All the kids are at such a fun age.  It is amazing how fast time goes and how many kids seem to be added to the family each year.  We have teenagers to 2 month old.  Never a dull moment.

Hay Ride

The neighborhood that I grew up in has a hay ride for the kids every year.  This year all the cousins dressed up as Ace Hardware Employees.  For once the weather was amazing and the kids didn't have to wear 20 layers to stay warm :o)
