Christmas in Michigan

We had Christmas with Heather's family in Michigan the middle of December and it sure was a busy 3 days. To start with we visited the wonderful Santa house in Midland. This Santa house is the best I've seen and each year it is a little different. In addition to the many trains, there is an airplane with an elf that blows "snow" bubbles on everyone inside. Jase still hates Santa and it takes everything we have to get him to sit next to Santa. Thankfully Meghan was content being held by the big guy...

After Santa's house we had a small Christmas with Heather's paternal grandparents. Jase really liked the village that was set up.Over the next two days we had Christmas with Heather's parents and Heather's maternal gramma. It was a very nice couple of days and we were blessed with many gifts given and received. Some of Jase's favorites include his Shake n' Go Crash ups race car track, Imaginext T-Rex dinosaur, Thomas train track, and many other toys. Meghan got clothes, a doll, an animal farm, and some stacking and nesting cups. I got a 12c food processor, 4-slice toaster, and other kitchen and craft accessories. Joseph got tools (level, jig saw) to add to his collection. The best gift we gave as a family was to Heather's parents, a digital picture frame and photo calendar for 2008. The digital frame was preloaded with pics of the grandkids and will be perfect for the 5th wheel camping they do.

Family visits and camping

The beginning of November brought Heather's parents to visit. When Heather's parents come to visit, Jase goes camping at a nearby campground with his grandparents. Jase loves camping with his grandparents. Not only does he get spoiled with toys, clothes, food, and playing nonstop, 24/7, but he comes home absolutely exhausted and sleeps really great for a few days (naps that is). One of Jase's favorite things to do when camping is to stand and sit on the small table. It is always hard for him to not do this when he comes back home...

This time we had a surprise visit of Heather's paternal grandparents. It was a short visit, but it was nice for them to get to Meghan in person.
