Christmas in Ohio

Over Christmas we went back east to Ohio to send time with Jayson's family. It had been way too long since they all had seen Gwen, so it was a much needed trip. It was also a very white Christmas for us. Gwen loved every minute of it. During the week that we were there, we had many fun adventures. ..we went and saw 'Santa Lights', did a lot of shopping, had fun at a bouncy house, ate way too much, spent time at the Children's Museum for Gwen's' 2nd birthday, and got to experience the zoo in very cold weather.
