The M Christmas Extravaganza

The first week of January 2011 has proved eventful...fun, for sure, and spending time with our family this past weekend in Traverse City was an awesome kick start for a year of fun times with various family throughout the year. We hope!
(excuse my pictures, for the next while they will likely be cell phone pics - my camera broke after 1 picture of Adalynn opening her stocking on Christmas Day. I'm not sure when it will be fixed!)
We drove up to TC on Friday, to stay 1 night in a hotel with a pool. Our rooms adjoined with T's sister and her family's, and T's other sister was right down the hall with her husband and two children. The kids had a total hoot playing together!
Friday night we christened the pool. It took just a minute for the girls to get back in the swing of swimming.




Baths together are so. much. fun....


More playing...


Saturday we drove to Elk Lake to a cottage belonging to a friend of T's sister. The rest of the family joined us there.


The scenery was gorgeous.


The kids' took a walk to see the beaver dam down the path.

Sunday morning we were awed by the beauty, once again. God is an amazing artist!



After a few Sunday snafus (Adalynn getting - and recovering - from a bit of vomiting. Our truck not wanting to start, then leaking, then finally - 2 batteries later - recovering as well), we finally left about 1 to travel home. And we made it without further event, thank God!
