Big smile here...but not long after he was sad...maybe just chilly




4 levels of escalators in the lobby - fun!

Honest, we weren't laughing at the Browns and Bengals fans
going to the game on that cold day.



Ralphie's House - Christmas Story



It's Beginning to Look a lot Like Christmas

I love how excited Kevin gets when we get the Christmas boxes out to decorate the house.

Checking out the ornaments as Dad decorates the tree
The Christmas books were the first thing Kevin pulled out of the Christmas boxes.
If you let him - he will have you read every one of them.

Still one of his favorites...

...even though the audio doesn't work anymore...

...every year he tries to get it to work again by
getting the screwdriver for us to change the batteries.
