"Christmas With the Kids....."

Don and I drove to Michigan last Friday, picked my sister up in Benton Harbor, and continued on up to Patrick's in Manistee. Of course, it was the worst day to be driving, because of winter weather, which made it a much longer time to get up there........but we made it and had a great time! The drive home was a breeze with clear roads and fast moving traffic. :)


Pictured below from left to right are Don, Sean, myself, Patrick, and Julie, with "grand-dogs" Odie on the left and Morgan behind Julie. All 3 kids are wearing some of their knitted xmas gifts.....ski hats on the boys and the cowl on Julie.
Sandy (my sister), who hates having her picture taken, took this shot.


Another family shot , minus Sandy, with Don behind the camera. Sandy was strategically positioned far away from the photo shoot, thus avoiding being photographed. :) Copper made it into this family photo.......


Copper and Odie after a long morning of watching us open presents........Morgan chose the crate where he had more peace and quiet......


Beanie, Julie's dog, had a comfortable spot on a chair for his nap........


After brunch and Sean gone back to Traverse City to go to work, we headed out to Dublin, MI, to do some "after xmas shopping". :) Sandy couldn't avoid this one. :)


More photos of our morning with the kids tomorrow.......
