(This was written in the middle of January. I'm way behind on the blog!!)
We went to visit Dan's family in Michigan for Christmas this year. Traveling is just rough for us since it's a two-hour drive to the airport and our trips this year have been marked by sick kids throwing up multiple times in the car and airplane. But, crossing our fingers that lightning wouldn't strike thrice, we prepared for our trip.
Fortunately, this time we were as prepared as can be with IDs, plenty of diapers, and changes of clothing in our carry-on bags. We left with plenty of time for the drive down to the airport, parking, riding the bus from parking to the airport, going through security, grabbing a bite, and boarding the plane. Everything went pretty smoothly except the two-hour delay in Chicago. But, that wasn't too bad because there was a play area for the kids and we had time to get dinner.
The only other snag was getting the cold so we were not as energetic and didn't get to do as much as we wanted. Oh well, it was winter and staying nice and warm inside was nice. We had a lot of fun seeing family and running into friends. Charlie and Ellie sure enjoyed playing with their cousins!!
Here are some of the fun things we did:
 |
| Celebrating Christmas |
 |
| Charlie getting ready to sled. Sorry this was the only pic I got of sledding! |
 |
| Tobogganing! Charlie and his cousins loved it so much they went down at least 5 times with Uncle Dale. |
 |
| Whee! These hills were seriously steep - Charlie, Brenden, & Josiah were so brave! |
 |
| I love how Charlie's hair is flying here. |
 |
| Decorating a gingerbread train. | | | | | | | | |
|
|
| Celebrating birthdays for Kyler, Brenden, & Dan. |
