Ho Ho Ho.

Merry Christmas to all!

This Christmas we had the opportunity to spend the holiday with my older brother jason and his wife in the lovely city of Columbus, Ohio. we’ve had a really good time and as my little brother jared would say, “i love hanging out with my family.”

yes, we are like most families and have our ups and downs… and crazy moments…. of course all the boys would say that’s only me and momma. haha. get real.

here is the short list of festive activities that we did during our time in ohiooooo.

((**in honor of my super-hipster appearance to keep up, i’m only going to blog in instagrams. bam.))

bragdon fam in the airport: 2 ipads, 1 psp, and one hard-back book about typography… odd man out?

as soon as we got into town jason & keri gave me my graduation present (by the way… the “graduation post” is coming… just a little delayed.)

we ate at jason’s favorite restaurant… red robin.

we went to wildlights at the Columbus zoo. super cool, yet super chilly!

we also went to a little town about 15 minutes outside of columbus to eat at a family style dutch restaurant. it reminded me a lot of the food in amsterdam.  i had grape pie which was…. interesting…

this is the best stromboli i’ve ever had… ever.

we made homemade gyoza… also known as pot-stickers.

us kids played some games at dave & busters (i was totally the ticket master)

we made a gingerbread village! (including tommy’s townhouse, jared’s junkyard, cutie cottage, keri’s krazy christmas vacation, and jill’s hut!)

oh, and we can’t forget the Christmas gown! don’t be jealous.

then it was christmas time! can you guess which one is mine?

of course jason has an all LED christmas tree :)

over all it was a merry christmas to be had!

hope your holiday was just as swell!
