Christmas Break and NYE 2019

 

Happy New Year--2019, here we come!!

The girls invited some friends over.

Mark is enjoying the NYE snacks!!

Parker is feeling festive with the sparkling juice!

Avery is getting some driving hours in during the holiday break!

We went to the Hands-On Museum in Mt. P with Parker over the break. She loves the Japanese exhibit.

We took a trip down to Detroit and got some Mexican food in Mexican Village. It never disappoints.

Spent the day visiting Dad/Grandpa at his apartment in Walton Wood over the break. He treated us to one of their fancy family dinners to celebrate. It's seriously FINE DINING!! Haha!

Said "Merry Christmas and Happy New Year" to Mom, too.

Christmas Eve at Home

 Is there anything cozier? Christmas Eve Jammies and a book, watching some Peanuts, and snuggling in. I love it. 

she still likes her onesie peejays.

the older two get flannel pants

the christmas beagle

christmas morning--after the presents are unwrapped--it was a great year.

Christmas Eve Eve Lasagna Party with the Days

 This is becoming one of my favorite things. We used to go down to my parents house for lasagna on Christmas Eve, but now that my Mom is gone and my Dad is in assisted living, we are changing traditions. So...this year I invited my siblings to Midland to feast on lasagna and play some games. Games are a white elephant gift exchange and "find the baby Jesus." It was a BLAST!! So grateful they could come!! 

Santa House for Parker Faye

 This girl loves seeing Santa at the Midland Santa House. We got in in the nick of time--only 4 days till Christmas!! :)

20 Years Together

 I'm not sure how/why we ended up taking a trip down to see my Dad on our anniversary and dropping off a Christmas grave blanket for my Mom. It was a nice visit with Dad. We got some pie at Grand Traverse when we got home to Midland. Happy Anniversay to us!! 

2018 Family Pics

 This was our spur of the moment, evening sunset family pictures. We had the girls' friend Summer take them on the Tridge just as the sun was beginning to set. The quality isn't great, but I can still remember that day. We have been so blessed this year! 

 

Happy Holidays
