Our annual family photo by the mantel. Collin didn't join us this year and we sure missed him. |
This year we stayed at this gorgeous cottage on Lake Michigan. |
This was the view that greeted us each morning. Gorgeous! |
An early morning beach stroll. |
Back at John and Patti's home, here's another family pic. |
Connor is always most excited to see his cousin Liam. |
Kaitlynn enjoyed her time with Riley the dog. |
Kaitlynn also loved playing with her cousin Leighton's baby dolls. She lined 'em all up for their dinnertime, ha! |
Kaitlynn was so excited to see her Nana again! |
Jeff and his brother Chris. |
When it was time for gifts, the little elves handed them all out. |
Kaitlynn opens her present. |
Connor loved his, too. |
Kevin was very thankful for his new sweatshirt since a cold front blew in that night and brought the first snowfall of the season! |
I went Black Friday shopping in the snow, but I didn't last very long, ha! |

ReplyDeleteYour pictures look great. You are improving!! Looks like a nice visit you guys had, as usual. And that cottage on the lake. Awesome! Too bad it was too cold to get some rays!! :-) Can't wait to see your fam soon!!!
ReplyDeleteThose shirts are awesome! I hope that becomes part of the tradition. That house where you stayed is even more awesome! A great view and a little bit of snow - that will for sure get you in the Christmas spirit. I'm impressed you braved Black Friday. I just can't bring myself to fight those crowds. Can't wait to see you!
