We made our way to Cincinnati for Christmas at the Mowry's after Charlie wrapped everything up for work. In what has become an annual tradition, we went to the Wyoming Presbyterian Church for Christmas Eve. Brady was not nearly as quiet as he had been the year before; instead of falling asleep on Charlie, we had to bring him out to the play area as he was trying to squirm around and show off his newfound powers of walking!
Brady also got to see some old Wyoming folks - like the Bartells, Charlie's friend's parents. Paul was playing the violin as part of the service - and Brady was intrigued by that!
After church we continued the tradition of dinner at the Mowry's house. The Caricos, Grumpa, Grandma Dorothy, Abby and us all enjoyed a nice meal put together by Leslie (and Tom said the prayer!).
Christmas morning, we woke up and opened presents. This was the first time Brady was mobile and really able to participate. He didn't completely understand everything - the act of opening the presents often was more exciting than the present itself!
Of course, a fun time was had by all...
Movies are the popular theme for Christmas night for us; Charlie and Mom went to the Hobbit, while the rest of the family went to see Saving Mr. Banks - the Disney movie about the Mary Poppins author.
The next day, we went to Eaton for Christmas with the Caricos. Brady loved his presents, there as well. He particularly liked the stuffed animal dog he got - it was much bigger than him!
Also, he really liked playing with things at Bob and Sue's house. The train tracks around the Christmas tree were a harbinger of things to come as far as his love of trains! He also loved playing the piano downstairs, and dancing to the TV upstairs!
We stayed in Eaton for a few days, then headed to Columbus to see some friends up there. But that's for the next post!
