Christmas in Michigan

Cutie Cousins Alex and Evette in their Christmas Dresses

We just got back from a two week vacation in Michigan where we celebrated Christmas, Boxing Day (not really), New Year's Eve, New Year's Day, Kathy's Birthday (my awesome Mother-In-Law), David and Kathy's Anniversary, and just being together. It was a lot of fun, especially since so many family members were able to attend. All of Chris' sisters were able to make it plus our cute niece Evette. Unfortunately, Lorie's husband Adam had to work and could not make it. We wish that he could have met Alex, but we will just have to get together again soon. Oh darn :). The holidays were awesome and we had a good time. We went and saw some movies (a huge treat for us), visited Frankenmuth, MI which has the largest Christmas store in the US (soooo much fun)!!! Alex really liked looking around at the store and was super happy to be there. During our stay we also visited downtown Detroit (briefly, it was snowing) and we went to many restaurants and went out shopping. The best part of the trip though was just spending time with family. It was also a lot of fun to see the little cousins together. They loved holding hands and trying to figure each other out. It was so dang cute!! We were sad to have to leave and hope that its not too long before we meet up again.
