Plans changed quickly this Christmas season for us. We were all set, packed and ready to leave for Minnesota like we have done for the past 27 years of my life but this year the weather did not want to cooperate with us. We had an ice storm in Illinois while Minnesota was getting a blizzard (24 inches to be exact). This means we'll just have to have a HUGE 4th of July party in MN instead. The weather will be gorgeous so we can enjoy the lakes and the views while sipping on a cocktail instead of the treacherous roadways. Oh how I miss summer already!
However, we were able to make it to Michigan to celebrate Christmas. Although, we were fighting the ice storm on our way there. Just ask Mike how that went! He hasn't quite gotten down the winter weather just yet. For instance, he tried to bang the ice off our windshield wiper and I thought it was going to fly off but it held on for dear life!
I borrowed this picture from someone else but this is what MI looked like when we woke up on Christmas Eve! Ice everywhere!!!
Christmas Eve the kids got dressed up in their matching pj's (what can I say...my sister and I have great taste and strangely think alike but this will definitely be a tradition now) and headed to bed LATE because of all the excitement of what the morning would bring...
The kids were showered with tons of gifts from Magee and Papa and so were the older adults too! Thanks again for everything!!! We Love You!
Madison would also like to send a special shout out to Grandma and Grandpa Boyum, The Batterton's, Uncle Brian and everyone else who thought of Maddie this Christmas season! We appreciate everyone's thoughtfulness!Merry Christmas to all and to all a good night!
