A Christmas Story

Kids play with toys after opening presents at grandmas house 

Cleveland's Play-House Square Allen Theatre

We got tickets to A Christmas Story

for Christmas!

If you have seen the movie you'll understand these quotes

The best parts of the play were the parts that aren't in the movie.  Like Red Ryder's speech on what it means to be a cowboy, and American.  If you get the chance, go see it.

A few days before, on our way from the airport to Akron, we even saw the original house where the movie was filmed in Cleveland's Tremont neighborhood.  There's a "major award" lamp in the window.

White Christmas in Ohio

The weather was pretty raining our first week in Ohio.  So our hopes for snow were not high.  Notice the warmth on compared to our other frequented places.

Then Christmas morning we woke up to white, if not deep, snow!

See Renee's new Ohio State Buckeye sweatshirt

Notice the family dog is excited too.

After opening presents Christmas morning with Uncle Aaron, Pop, Gram, and Aunt Kristin

Dinner for 21 at the Bisheimer table

 Cookie making maids and maiden or two.

Playing board games the day after with blankets since its now 12 degrees outside.

Kittitas Valley Views

After Thanksgiving, we headed for the hills for a hike around the outskirts of Ellensburg.

The mild fall has been surprisingly moist, making green grass grow in late November.

The local hardware store hosted families for birdhouse making.  

Look for these in and under trees near you ;~)
