We were able to spend New Years weekend in Michigan. Friday afternoon we arrived and celebrated Isaac’s birthday. Saturday morning Isaac and Joshua took us rock climbing. It was a lot of fun! It was also a little anxiety producing as neither Nathan nor I have climbed in a very long time and Evelyn and Jameson have never been rock climbing. But everyone did great and learned something new.
In the afternoon we opened presents and relaxed, enjoying each other’s company. Later in the evening, the kids got to play Mario kart and ring in the new year with some sparkling juice.
Sunday morning we attended church and were able to listen to Grandma Pat play the organ. The afternoon fun was the annual woodworking project. This time, wall hangings made from tree cookies.
There were also some yummy desserts. Isaac made a lemonade pie and Joshua made the cutest pikachu cake.
Monday morning Ben asked if I wanted to take Tornado out for a walk. Sure why not, this is an experience Penny would not enjoy. When we got home, Evelyn marveled at how small Penny is. As if she needed the comparison to Horizon and Tornado to really appreciate Penny’s petite size.
