We thank God that two of my brothers and their wives made it to Michigan safely while traveling through a bad snow storm; arriving at my Uncle Jack's house at 1:45 in the morning. Also we thank God that the rest of us had beautiful weather for traveling.
When we arrived at our grandparents, we were met with 36 inches of snow!! Of course it was perfect for building snow forts. And we had a beautiful white Christmas.
We had a wonderful time with uncles, aunts, grand parents and cousins we hadn't seen in a while.
But the Monday before Christmas and before we went to Michigan we had our own family Christmas party here at our house.
Here are the pictures from that.....
