New Year's in Ohio

We have returned from our trip to Gallipolis, OH. This small town is located in the rolling hills of rural Ohio. We were expecting cold but the weather was mild and stayed in the 60s most days. However, it did get down to about 12 degrees New Year's Eve with some snow flurries! We stayed at Tom's sister and brother in laws house where his mom also lives. David and Arlen have a cattle farm and also have two donkeys there. Emily loved seeing the calves and "riding" the donkey (he never moved!). She also got to meet her second cousin Gage whose daddy grew up with her daddy. It was fun to see a second generation playing. Danielle and Morgan (our great nieces) were also there for most of the week and Emily had a good time running around with them. I have a lot of pictures but we have been gone a week!

I love the donkey picture. :o) He's so cute! haha.

The pictures of Emily all bundled up are adorable. I just can't believe how big she is getting! Where does the time go?
