Hi All! Life has been busy as always and this holiday season is no exception. Hard to believe that winter and the holidays are in full swing. Are we really about to ring in 2011? Craziness.
Danny and I have been busy winterizing the house and getting ready for the winter weather. We're excited that we finally have our very own backyard and will be able to play in the snow and build snowmen or better yet, snowdogs! lol.
This past weekend Danny's parents came to visit and celebrate Danny's birthday. Luckily the weather was not freezing and the snow had not arrived just yet, making it the ideal day to have company and enjoy Columbus. We all ran to the grocery so Danny and his Dad could pick up what they needed for homemade eggnog (Danny's Great Grandfather, Dale's, recipe). We stopped on the way home to place our name on the list at Thurman's and also stopped by the Book Loft, a popular, unique place located in German Village. We arrived home and Bill & Danny got crackin'. The kitchen quickly turned into an eggnog making extravaganza! lol. I have never seen eggnog made before so it was a fun, new experience for me. After relaxing for a bit, it was off to Thurman's so the Barker's could experience their first Terminator!
The four of us ended up with the best seat in the house and Danny and his Dad decided to get the Terminator Burger. The four of us enjoyed some conversation over drinks and our tastey Thurman burgers. After Thurman's we headed a few doors down to Easy Street Cafe. We sat at the bar and enjoyed a few more drinks before heading home to play Wii!
The Barker's bought us a WII and we have been getting good use out it so far, especially considering we've only had it five days lol. The four of us tried some new games. I think we all really enjoyed the 100 pin bowling and the 3 point shootout contest. Some of the games seemed almost impossible and I think may require a bit more practice (cough Frisbee and Canoeing cough). lol. After a fun evening of WII, Sandy and Bill decided to spend the night and crash in our guest room. We were so happy to have them and had so much fun spending the time with them! We look forward to seeing pictures from their upcoming Christmas cruise! :)
Danny and I are happy to say that we have gotten our toys for the Ronald McDonald House. We got a nice assortment of boy and girl toys for the kiddies. Our plan is to drop them off either today or tomorrow. We are happy to be giving back, in someway, this holiday season.
I hope everyone is staying warm and their holiday shopping, and year, are winding down nicely. Take care & bundle up!
With Love,
Danny & Sarah
