Brrr....it's cold here!

We finally made it to Michigan - but what a nightmare day it was!  Still, we made it - and it's nice to see everyone.  The kids are thrilled that there is snow on the ground, and have been outside playing in the snow quite a bit.  I have a very tenuous, piggyback connection to the internet so will have to try to load the photos I took later.

Tim came in from Munich last night, and he even made it here to Grand Rapids even though all the flights were oversold.  He said that Europe was a big mess as well - big snowstorm there, and all the airports were shut down, etc.

Yesterday Clay went to his cousin Tom's and hung out and played video games while Gramma, Paige and I did some last minute Christmas shopping.  Gramma was very happy that she was able to finish up yesterday (and all in ONE store!!)...we stopped off at Meijer's (which is similar to a Super-Target) to pick up a few odds and ends, and when we tried to start the car found a dead battery.  That was a lot of fun.  (!!)

Today Tim and I will finish up our list (mostly stocking stuffers) and then we will be able to just relax!
