December

Here's a taste of what went on in December.  WARNING - LOTS OF PICTURES!

The live nativity at the Ada Christmas candlelight walk. 

Sleepover at Grandma and Grandpa Davis' house.

The kids had a blast playing with Uncle Dick at the Davis Christmas party.

Lunch with my girl at our favorite restaurant Panera.

Movie night - The Polar Express of course.

Jack was very proud of his gingerbread house at the library.

Wishing he could go outside.

GE kids' Christmas day at the Freunthal Theater in Muskegon and Jack's first movie in a theater - Brave.

Decorating Christmas cookies.

 

Dads and donuts day at school.

Visiting Santa's reindeer at the library.

Decorating a gingerbread house.

 

All of the kids at VanZweden's house.

We finally got enough snow to go sledding.

Poor buddy got a stomach bug the day after Christmas.

He perked up shortly after.

And then Hannah got it.

We attempted potty training for about a day and came to the conclusion that he's not ready yet.  

 

Happy new year!

Christmas at the Gardens

One of our favorite Christmas traditions is attending the Frederik Meijer Gardens Christmas party.  Unfortuantely this year the dates just didn't work out, so we visited after church one Sunday instead.

Getting Ready for Christmas

Jason got bit by the Christmas bug (and nice weather), and put out a nice display of lights.

Jack loved Daddy's train.

My favorite little nook.

Setting up the tree.  Love or prelit tree.

Grandma Cramer got the kids their own tree, which they decorated all on their own.

The best view for the Santa parade with Grandpa Cramer.

The big guy himself.

Hannah's turn.

 

Merry Christmas!
