Fun with Naunie and "Pa"

My mom and John came to spend Christmas with us and were here for 10 days! It was so fun to have them around. The kids could hardly wait and Sophie had the day marked on our calendar and was counting down to it for about a month.
We had a great time with them!
Every morning the girls would go downstairs and climb in bed with naunie and grandpa. It was fun to hear all of them laughing down there (which I think had a lot to do with grandpa getting his feet tickled!) When grandpa would come upstairs each morning Miles would drop whatever he was doing, run to grandpa and say, "Pa! 'mon!" (grandpa! come on!) then he'd go grab a couple of cars and give one to grandpa to play with him.

We went sledding down the street from our house on a perfect kid-sized hill.

Miles was thoroughly enjoying himself being pulled around and eating snow!

Naunie wanted to be sure not to get lost in any sudden blizzards :)

We went to Chuck E. Cheese's for a night of games and fun!

Here is Nora concentrating on beating grandpa at air hockey

and Sophie practicing her circus tricks on the carouselMy mom and I took the kids to a fun place called Jumping Jax - a big warehouse type place with a bunch of jumpy things in it. Oh boy did they ever love it there! I would follow Miles into one and by the time I got out the door he was going in the door of another one!

We went to the Capital to see the lit up Christmas tree and get a picture - but it was SO cold this night we literally parked right across the street from the capital, ran up to it, snapped a few pics and ran right back to our cars. It was a good taste of typical Michigan winter wind. Brrrr.
