Yesterday we drove across the state of Michigan just barely ahead of a huge ice storm that hasn't let up since! We left my parents earlier than planned so that we wouldn't get stranded somewhere on the side of the road on Christmas Eve. It worked out perfectly and we arrived in Grand Haven just before the storm dumped freezing rain and snow over West Michigan.
Fortunately Santa was able to get his sleigh through the ice and managed to drop off a bunch of presents for our boys at Grandma Kathie and Grandpa Bills house. A few of their favorites were the bounce house, sleeping bags, and LL Bean duffel bags. This is the third round of Christmas gift opening in a week and the kids were well behaved and thankful for their gifts this time (it only took two practice runs to get it right!).
We also visited with Great Grandma Rodgers, Aunt Mari, Triston, Uncle Mark, and Uncle David today. It is so nice to catch up with family and makes me a little sad that we don't live nearby but we look forward to seeing everybody that much more every time that we come to visit!
