Christmas time in Kalamazoo was a blast for all of us. Drew had a wonderful time as usual with the Hoyt girls, and of course Melissa and Peter. He loved his new toys from Santa and the family. I posted a few pictures to the right of him playing. Brooke and Autumn got a Wii for Christmas and we spent A LOT of time playing with that. Autumn was the champion bowler, with the all time high score of 199. Brooke raced for hours playing mario cart, and Michelle beat me down like Mike Tyson in some boxing. I had to remind her that it's nothing like the real thing..:) Our drive back was an adventure in itself. We woke up in the middle of the night to a raging thunderstorm, and then thick fog...that always follows a change in temp from 30 to 55 degrees. Saturday afternoon down 131 was like driving a steamer. We saw a guy using his hazards and he was the only person we could see from any distance, so we decided to use that technique for the rest of the trip. Of course we made a pit stop in Cadillac for some G&D's pizza for lunch...
It's all over. I know this because they already have Valentine's Day candy at Target. We still have New Years to look forward to this week though:) The Charland's will be heading south again to Cadillac to spend New Years/Christmas with the Clark family. Then we plan to head back to TC to enjoy some rest and relaxation for the weekend, since Grandma Barb offered to watch Drew ALL NIGHT... What a trooper. I am not sure what is in store for us, but I am sure it will be nothing less than AWESOME.
