(Brighton is not jumping up and down with glee because he was really sick during the night of Christmas Eve. Nothing quite like a giant Lego set to make you feel better.)

Santa 2014
We visited the Santa at 8th Street Grille this year.
Brighton told Santa about wanting a Lego City Set.
Score! Mom and Dad loved that request ;)
Even though she was scared, Tily told Santa she wanted a punching bag for Christmas.
Ummmm. What?!?

Tily's Baby Voice
Tily loves babies. This includes her sweet little cousin, her little friends at church and daycare, and her doll. Tily is normally quite talkative and quite loud; she often speaks in a high pitch. So we're still a bit stunned by her baby voice that we hear often nowadays. It's not sweet and soft. It's not high pitched.
Uncle Scott caught this video of her. Her voice is low. It's raspy. And it's usually just a very concentrated "Hi" or "Bye."
Watch out babies, Tily is ready to love on you.

Chicago with Ridgewood Gals
I spent the weekend in Chicago with a couple of my college roommates. We lived on Ridgewood together while we attended Calvin. Those were the days!
We did some shopping, had some good talks, and ate dinner with one of our guys.
Love Chicago! Love these gals!
Snowmobile Show
We attended the Snowmobile Show in Novi, Michigan earlier this month. It felt like we were a long ways off from snowmobile season, but as I look outside this morning...guess not. We're enjoying snow day #1 for this school year today.

Fall Break in Frankenmuth
We headed to Zehnders for a fall getaway. It's a waterpark just a couple hours away, and they had fun Halloween activities for the kids. Oh, did I mention Birch Run outlets too? The kids swam, played in the arcade, did crafts, and trick 'r' treated throughout the hotel. Frankenmuth has a lot to offer on its own. We should've stayed longer because we hardly wanted to leave the hotel.
In case you're considering a visit yourself, they just opened up a HUGE addition to their waterpark (a week after we went). We look forward to visiting again to check this out.
