Time Speeds Up

I used to think that time slowed down at Christmas, now I think it speeds up. Down or up, I hope you had a good time and a wonderful holiday.

Since this was my first Christmas in Cincinnati, Sarah wanted to do a few Cincinnati Christmas things on Monday. We put the turkey in the oven, then went downtown to see the Duke Energy trains - part of the display is above. Then on to Fountain Square for ice skating.


We saw the Carew Tower Santa, still popular with a long line of children waiting, and ate ice cream at the downtown Graeter's.

Then it was on to Steph's for Christmas Eve dinner and present opening. Here's Nora, with her festive hair pretty, opening a package. That's A Christmas Story in the background, playing continuously for 24 hours.

Nora got a doctor kit and is giving her dad a check-up. Everyone got one.

Below is Nora playing with her new Leap Pad.

When Nora was born, Sarah declared herself in charge of video games and wheeled items.

Santa came in the morning. Nora got the doll furniture and dvd she wanted, as well as a loaded stocking. Then Steph, Mike, and the kids went to Greenville for Christmas there. There was a train and a leopard coat for Nora from Grandma Janice and Pap and a special seat for Aaron.

There will be more Christmas pictures tomorrow.
