It’s time for the annual Spring Egg Hunt at Tower Park in Ft. Thomas, Kentucky!

We had a traditional Christmas turkey dinner with all the trimmings.  It was good food and great fun with family and friends.

These overhead shots were provided by the Goodyear blimp.

Real Christmas Tree

We went tree-hunting late this year because Theresa’s family is coming to town in late January to celebrate Christmas, and so we wanted our tree to last until then.  We drove to all our favorite tree farms where we can cut our own tree, but they were all closed due to the drought the [...]
