Christmas Vacation

Ryan and I woke up a little before 7am on Sunday, December 23rd. We had to get ready to go tailgating prior to the Bengals Game at 1pm. My Dad has a bus for the tailgate and Bengals experience. When we got to the parking lot, we talked with family and friends and grilled some hot dogs. Then we went into the game around 12:30pm to be sure we were able to see kick off. We ended up coming out with a WIN 19-14 over the Cleveland Browns. Then we came home to eat dinner, rest and hit the bed early. It was a long morning. We had a long day, but enjoyed our time in the city.

After our much needed sleep for the night, Ryan and I woke up around 9:30am, fed my dog Abby and we had breakfast. Then we took turns getting showers and getting ready to drive around the city and to run a few errands. We had lunch at Skyline Chili which is famous in Cincinnati, OH. As a mid-day snack we took my husband, Aunt and Grandma to get some Graeter’s Ice Cream also known in Cincinnati, OH. Before we knew it, it was just about dinner time, so we headed back home to meet up with my dad and the rest of the family. We had dinner with the whole family this Christmas Eve. After dinner we wrapped some last minute gifts while watching Christmas movies. Lastly we headed to bed early, so we could be rested when we wake up early Christmas Morning.

Ryan and I woke up early Christmas morning. After opening gifts, my dad made us all pancakes. We got lots of fun gifts and enjoyed spending time with our family. After an early morning, Abby and I felt as though we needed to take a nap. Therefore, we napped for about 4 hours. Once we awoke, we showered and had our Christmas meal. After dinner we all went into the living room to play the game Cranium. After the game we watched a movie and then headed to bed to get a good nights rest.

Lastly, we had fun with all the 8 dogs we had in my dad’s house. The three to the right are my dad’s dogs. We then had two Havanese were my aunts and 2 Shih Tzus. Of course lastly, my dog, Abby also came along for the Christmas Vacation. They all had a lot of fun playing together.
