Christmas in Michigan

This Christmas Dan and I headed up to Michigan to spend the holiday with my family. We got there on Saturday (after exchanging our gifts at home). The night we arrived we decided to open gifts so the kids wouldn't have to wait the whole weekend...and they kept asking when we could do it. Here are some pictures of the kids opening their gifts.

Records we framed for the kid's rooms

Stephen's new art work

Glad we are finally opening presents!

Figuring out the new car


 The kids both got slippers that move when you walk...the monster's opened their mouths and the zebra's ear's pop up. The kids LOVED them...I had never heard of them before.


We had fun the rest of the weekend watching movies, staying up late teaching Dan Cities and Knights for Catan, and eating lots of good snacks and sweets, and swaping YouTube video's. Stephen and Michelle left on the 24th and that night we went to my parent's Christmas Eve service and then out to dinner with two other couples from church. We then spent Christmas morning opening gifts and went to see Les Miserable with my parents before heading home.

We finished the evening off by Skyping with Dan's family in Texas and then watching some Scrubs and Elf before going to bed. It was a good Christmas and the only down side was not having any snow...which showed up on the 26th :) of course.
