Christmas break adventures

My parents got us passes to the Cincinnati Museum Center and to the Newport Aquarium for Christmas.   Lucy had been to the museum multiple times with Tammy when she was little but none of the rest of us had been.  Plus it had been so long since Lucy was last there that she didn't remember it.  I think Ema may have encouraged my mom to get us a pass since they're already members so...thank you, Ema!  I have no idea why we'd never been there!  So cool!  It was super crowded since schools were still out for Christmas but our little family had a great time!    

Afterward we went to lunch at LaRosa's.  Lately Lucy's been very interested in my camera and taking photos.  I had to delete quite a few pics (of the ceiling fan, of Dave's neck, of the floor, of the table, etc.) but she's getting pretty decent at taking selfies!

Another day we went to activate and use our Newport Aquarium pass.  Lucy asks to go there somewhat frequently so she was a happy camper.  Max loved watching the penguins and stingrays.

These two fools spotted Santa's abandoned sleigh and just had to climb aboard!
