Fun at Monkey Joe's

One Tuesday after music class we made our way to Monkey Joe's with our friends Deanna and Connor. Monkey Joe's has several inflatable play centers with slides, obstacle courses, and lots of jumping. Maryn was a little unsure at first, but after a few minutes she was ready to bounce the day away!!!

jump, jump, jump!

taking a quick break before crawling through :)

AFC Championship Game

Jeremy and I were lucky enough to be able to go to the AFC Championship Game between the Colts and Jets. While the outcome was a little uncertain at the end of the first half, the Colt's pulled out the win! Super Bowl here we come...Go Colts!!!!!!

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!

On New Year's Eve we put on our Butler gear and headed over to Hinkle Fieldhouse to cheer on the Bulldogs. During halftime, Maryn was super excited to see the Bulldog "Blue" and I just couldn't resist snapping this picture! After the game, our good friends the Leets and Ososkis came over to ring in the new year. It was low key, but just the way we liked it! Happy New Year and may your 2010 be full of love and joy!!

Chicago

Two days after Christmas we headed north to Chicago for a couple of days with Jeremy's family. Last year the temperature was ok, but this year it sure was cold and yes, windy! While we did some shopping, we also went to Navy Pier for the indoor Winter Wonderland and the older girls went to the Science and Industry Museum. Our hotel rooms all connected so the kids had fun running from one room to the next and were entertained by just playing.

Bundled up to brave the Windy City!

that snowman is big!!

waving "hi" before we went down the big slide

riding on the train...Maryn would do whatever the girls did :)

Christmas Day

On Christmas Day we spent the morning at our house opening gifts and just being together before we headed to my parent's house for the afternoon and evening. Christmas morning was so much fun! Maryn loved opening the first couple presents, but then just wanted to play with everything :)

A new kitchen from Santa!
