Later in the afternoon, we braved some nasty weather and made the trip to Northfield. We had a low-key evening. The 24th was filled with a trip to the Y, some quality time with the Woitallas, a quiet afternoon, opening presents, and a fantastic dinner. The kids were tuckered out as you can imagine!
Christmas morning we had a tasty breakfast together as a family before my mom, Mark, and Thyme got in the car to head over to Wisconsin. After Grady woke up from his nap, we piled in the car to go "home." I told the kids we had to make a quick stop so I could pick something up. We managed to coordinate nearly perfectly arriving a waterpark hotel with the Hoden family and Pat and Roger. It was great - we all parked close to one another and opened our doors at the same time - after monetary confusion, the kids went crazy with excitement! We had a great couple of days together enjoying the water, opening a few presents, hanging out in the hotel rooms, and making a special trip with the girls to the American Girl Doll store where we had lunch, picked out some goodies for their dolls, and got their dolls' ears pierced. Another highlight from our trip was being surprised with a trick present and learning that Tara and Tony are expecting another girl!
I think all these pictures sum everything up pretty well!
Looks like we were moving in doesn't it!

The one slide Grady went down...otherwise he wasn't a huge fan.
These crazies loved every second though!

Grady and his best bud...seriously, Grady is obsessed with Max! :)
Playing cards - with and later without the kids.
American Girl lunch highlights...the kids each got a special appetizer, meal, and drink.
(And the food was great!)
The girls and their purchases. :) Fun times for sure!
