Christmas 2008

Once again we have had quite a busy but blessed holiday season.

Christmas Eve we spent with my side of the family. We had a feast of Fricanos pizza!! The boys were finally able to open their night vision goggles!! The camera was forgotten, so sorry no pictures for that party!

On Christmas morning we woke up, found out santa had been quite the little piggy. The kids could not believe that santa had eaten ALL of the cookies, I really did not find that to be a very big deal!

After a yummy breakfast we spent the next couple hours with just the five of us as a family. We had gotten the kids a Wii. They were VERY surprised!!

After perfecting our skills at bowling and Tennis we were off to my grandmas house. My girls call her the 90 one, because she is ninety years old!!

We had a wonderful time, thank you Jen for always thinking, and bringing things to make gingerbread houses!! Not sure how much of the candy actually made it onto the gingerbread houses!!

After a very "busy" night, we headed up north to have Christmas with Chads side of the family!!

Whats a trip to the cottage without going by the lake?!

The next day we told the kids we were headed to Meijers, in reality we were going to Great Wolf Lodge. This was their present from Grandma and Grandpa!

Of course Connor was not looking forward to a trip to Meijers. He absolutely HATES to shop. So after 20 questions of how long is it going to take, do I have to go, why can't I just stay at the cottage, we always have to go get groceries, we were off. We did actually have to go to Meijers, afterwards everyone was totally surprised when we went into Great Wolf Lodge!! Well worth the little shopping trip!! A blast was had by all!! Hopefully they don't expect that every time we go get groceries!!

The next few days were nothing but Laziness heaven!!!

Thanks to all our families and friends for making this a wonderful Christmas, we definitely have a lot to be thankful for!
