Thanksmas 2015

Another year, another Thanksmas in Ohio. This year was no exception, we made the trek to Ohio to celebrate Thanksgiving by day, and Christmas by night. It was a great long weekend and most importantly, the kids all had a great time.   As always, they looked forward to spending time with Grandma and Grandpa, and  were so excited to see their cousins, they were bouncing off the walls in the car on the drive there!

Here are the Dice/ Steinemann cousins. Hannah, Drew, Jake and Lucas ( and Murphy). We wanted to bring our newest member of the family Lucy with us, but Grandma and Grandpa said "no". :( The kids played together really well and picked up right where they left off. Lucas and Drew running around like crazy little boys, and Hannah and Jake looking at them like they are crazy.   We were happy to be able to watch Jacob play a basketball game the night before we left. It was so fun to be able to see him play, I only wish I could watch him more often, and see Lucas play too. Hopefully one day the schedules will align and we can see them in all their sports glory!

Here is my sweet angel. Love her and her smile so much.   She was a sweet heart on the trip and she and I spent a good majority of the trip playing soccer outside and doing some shopping with Aunt Nikki. We went to Esther price candy which is the famous chocolate in Dayton and let her get some free samples. With all the yummy chocolate, she left with gummy bears :)

Here is our little pistol Drew. Full of personality. One minute he makes you laugh, the other minute you want to cry with frustration, but either way, we love him to pieces.   He is our Drew, our little who is crazy on the outside with the biggest heart you have ever seen on the inside.


Thanks for Grandma Grandpa and Jeff and Nikki for great weekend. We only wish we could be in Ohio more often to see you guys. We miss you lots and look forward to our next trip that needs to be less than a year away!!
