Dec 1-14 December in Columbus

Dec 1-14, 2015

December was pretty mild this year in Columbus. Elena got to meet Santa for the first time, open presents for the first time, we went to another concert, had a visit from Ryan's parents and spent some more time at the Columbus Zoo.

Out for a walk.

Mom, I'm trying to stealthily drink my bath water. Is it working?

Elena on the go at the Worthington Mall play area.

Probably not the best play area...

Cold walk today!

Elena's first time seeing Santa at ESI Christmas party. She was not so thrilled about sitting on his lap...

She really enjoyed opening her first present.

Milder out today for our walk.

A visit with Uncle Kevin and Everly.

Zac Brown concert!

Another evening at the Zoo with Grandma and Grandpa.

We got to see a baby snow leopard!

Happy family.

Thanks for the visit Grandma and Grandpa.

Some impressive clouds today on the way to work.

And on the way home from work.

And then a rainbow.

Nov 1-30 November Fun

November was a fun filled month. We hiked a few times, played outdoors, went to a concert, took a short trip to Wisconsin, Sean and the kids visited us Columbus Cantzlers for Thanksgiving, we went to the Wildlights at the Zoo and watched Ryan dive with the fish.

Super Elena!

Rocker Elena!

Beautiful autumn day for a Highbanks hike.

"Helping" me dig up the dahlia tubers by chewing on them.

Look mom, why would I get in the walker when I can stand on the edge of the walker?

One of my new favorite tricks before my bath.

Nice day for a swing.

Back to Highbanks with cousin Everly and Uncle Kevin and Aunt Lindsay!

Dead and friends concert, including John Mayer.

Its starting to get colder out...

A mini trip to Wisconsin so Daddy can work and we can visit Bapa.

Nice view.

Happy kiddo.
