Holiday Haul: Day 2

Well, We've made it to Michigan! Merry Christmas everyone!

We had a wonderful morning of opening presents and making breakfast. Then....We spent the rest of the day Packing....

Let me just say, as a family that is not our greatest gift. 

But, We did make it to church, well, we almost made it in time for the 4 o'clock service.  So we hung out and tried again for the 6 o'clock service.  We were all so excited for Alayna to go up on stage and hear Pastor Rick tell the Kiddos the Christmas story.  Well, first she refuse to go up. then just as the story was already started, she decided she wanted to go up. So Rachel took her up, with everyone watching! Then, about 2.5 seconds later she wanted her bracelet that was in the car. So, since we couldn't get it in 1.02 seconds, a melt down began. So, Rachel, in front of everyone, had to take Alayna out of the service.  They were able to come back in for a few minutes, before the girls gave up and left to get ready for the car trip.

We got out of church in good timing, and even found a drive-thru open, for our 'special' McChristmas Meal!  We were a little worried when we started that drive. There was some snow and a few accidents on the road before we even got out of town.  But by the time we hit Angola, all was good. The roads were dry clear and safe the whole way.  We made it to GR in under 3 hours.  

Today we will open presents with the Lamport Clan (Part 1)  Alayna is so excited to be here. The girls slept well.  Alayna Got her Birthday presents from Grammy and has already found 3 toys that we left here in August!! Its been a productive morning, especially after having to rig up a new coffee making process. (Grammy's new coffee maker is broken already) Never fear, Dan-Guyver made it happen!!

We hope to have a great day with family, opening presents, eating a roast, that already smells amazing and maybe even a Ping-Ping tourney!

Have a great Christmas Everyone!!
