One of our sweetest gifts was having Bill's mom here for several days before we left for Michigan. It was her Christmas present from Bill's dad but it was a gift to us to have her here! Sophie enjoyed her time with Gramma (or Bapa as she liked to call her). We had fun shopping, eating, celebrating and enjoying the Krohn conservatory. We do have some pictures of our time together because unlike me, Gramma remembers to bring her camera along!
We also had a great time in Michigan being with my family. It was nice to see all of my grandmas, cousins and other extended family. We had the traditional meatless Polish Christmas Eve dinner full of fried everything (minus the soup). I believe Sophie enjoyed ketchup that evening with some french fries. She seemed very overwhelmed by the chaos of opening gifts, and just wanted to play with one thing at a time, typically wrapping paper or a box, go figure.
We also enjoyed seeing many friends on this trip. It was wonderful to see good friends that we rarely get to spend time with. We were in Michigan for a total of one week, and when we returned we were not done with the festivities! We headed to the festival of lights at the zoo and enjoyed time with friends there, and the funnel cakes too! We also made our second attempt at the Live Nativity at the Creation Museum and it was much better this time. The first time we went we did not read our schedule very well and there was nothing to see! Oops. This time made up for it though. We did nothing for New Year's Eve for the first time in who knows how long, and it felt great! Sleep is a gem when you have a young child. Why stay up when you don't have to?
That sums up our fun! It was all so great, but we are ready to get things rolling in this new year.
