Post-Christmas fun

The day after Christmas we busted out the puzzles! Eli, Anna, and Jeremy all got puzzles for Christmas so we all worked on them together. It was great! After Jeremy finished the one he got, we decided to start a crazy one he got before we were even married. We've always been afraid to do it, and for good reason. It is black and white and a picture mosaic so it was pretty much impossible. We spent WAY too much time on it, but we finally finished it! And then we glued it down because we are never ever doing it again!

We also got 5 games for Christmas this year, three of them kid games, so we spent a lot of time playing games together, which was really fun.

Here are all the finished puzzles! On the left is the crazy one, the portrait of Abe Lincoln. Wow, it was hard. And sadly, Eli got the United States one and it was missing some pieces! Alaska and Hawaii got left out. I need to contact the company and see if I can get them.

The week in between Christmas and New Years was spent playing some more! Jeremy didn't have to go in to work at all, he just had to do a few things at home, so we got super spoiled having him around. One day we decided to check out the Cincinnati Museum Center. There are 3 museums all in the same complex - History, Natural History & Science, and a Children's Museum. They were having a special over the break where you could get a year family membership for $99 so we decided to go for it. It also gets us in to lots of other Children's and Science Museums around the country, so it's pretty awesome.

This was at the History Museum. We didn't check out the Children's Museum this time because it looked super crowded, so we'll have to do that during a non-holiday time.

They had a big lego and train Christmas display at the History Museum so that was fun too.

And they had free train rides. Anna was the only one who wanted to do it. Cutie pie!

Then on the 30th we went up to West Lafayette to visit my parents and the Weavers. I didn't take any pictures sadly! But we had fun spending New Years with them. We stayed with my parents one night and with the Weavers the other two nights. The kids all had a great time playing together as usual!
