Here are a few pictures to share of our time. The night before Christmas Eve, the children and I lit up the advent candles and read what each candle tells about the gift of Jesus. This was our first time with the advent wreath and I am so glad I decided to add this to our family tradition. The children loved it, though Liam couldn't wait to blow out the candles as if it was his birthday!
Christmas Eve we arrived in Michigan. We celebrated Christmas Day with my parents. My siblings came the day after. Then chaos broke loose, as usually does with us. Here is a sampling of that:
We went to a
wonderful Bavarian town called Frankenmuth for a couple of days. Got a
little snow, enjoyed the pools at the hotel, and visited the little
shops in town. Then we traveled south for some pretty nice weather and
spent some time with Brett's family.
In all we had
Brett for 10 days!! It was nice for him to get a break from the
hospital. Fun times, precious memories.

Good to hear from you! Thanks for visiting. I haven't put anything up lately. Been dealing with sickness all week at our house. But, I'll have to think of something interesting.
