Christmas with our Detroit Family

Oh Santa.....I just can't wait for you to come, I just can't wait for you to come and I have cookies...3 yummy cookies.... (Veggie Tales Christmas) My mom and I made these cute santas for our weekend with family. They were finally able to come before the next snowstorm hit!
We didn't eat these because they are so sugary! They sure were cute though!



We alternate every year between everyone coming here and us going to Detroit. We usually get together the 1st weekend in December but there was a huge snowstorm.
We started doing a cookie exchange 3 years ago. We all make 5 dozen cookies and then we exchange them with each other.
My sister Jen wasn't there because it was too icy for them to drive up from Indiana. We missed you Jen!


Our family minus Jen, Keith, and Colin.







Fun times!








Eliza has been so fun to watch this year. She really understands the present thing as well as it being Jesus' birthday. She kept asking for more presents and before she even opened it she asked "What is it?". Then she happily declared, "A box!"









The kids had fun making homemade ice cream! Believe it or not they made it in that blue ball! You put all the ingredients in it, as well as some ice, and then you roll it around on the floor until it makes the ice cream.
What fun!








Happy 8th Birthday Alex!
