Fun with the Florida gang

Monika, Arnold, Aidan and Andrew arrived in Ohio around 11:30pm on Christmas day.  The kids weren't able to stay awake long enough, so they were reunited the morning of the 26th.  Aidan and Andrew were so excited to see snow on the ground upon their arrival, and even more excited when I told then there was a blizzard coming our way.  Monika then informed me that this was good since apparently the boys thought I had "guaranteed" snow this year (since we didn't have any for their last Christmas visit).  Snow we had PLENTY this week!    The kids were out sledding, building forts, making snow angels, having snow fights, and making snowmen almost every day!  Uncle Arnold even went out and used a snow blower for the 1st time ever (to give Tobin a hand, since his surgery).

Our week together couldn't be more perfect.  We spent our days relaxing and hanging out.  The kids (and adults) all got to make a call to my grandmother in Hungary.  They sang to her and we chatted for a little while.  We exchanged gifts... this truly became an Angry Bird Christmas... with everyone but my mom having Angry Bird pj's!  We got a "Move" system for our PS3 and our entire family (including my mom) enjoyed playing the Carnival games and Angry Birds!  There were several trips to the movies (to watch Lincoln and Les Miserables), a night out at Ninos and then to watch an 80's cover band play.

We had delicious meals together ranging from Hungarian cuisine, to Chinese, to Italian, to a delicious pork roast for New Years Eve.  The goodbyes were hard as always.  The kids immediately missed their cousins, and Isa is still reminding us how much she "misses playing with them"!
