It's Christmas!!

We are in MI this year for Christmas. We made the drive on Friday when Jim got home from work. It was a smooth first 5.5 hours. But then Josh wanted OUT!!! We got to Grandma and Grandpa Kirkwoods and stayed there for the weekend. Saturday Catherine and I went out with some of my sorority sisters to M-80's in Ferndale which was AWESOME. Jim went to hang out with his friend Mark and Josh got to hang out with G'ma and G'pa. Sunday our friends Anne and Ryan drove down from Lansing for lunch. Monday we went to Abby and Aarons for the Christmas gatherings.

There were SO MANY presents. I think we opened gifts for 3 days. It was crazy. Great G'ma Connie had a lot of fun watching us open the "grab bag" items and making trades. Josh and Izzy made out with a ton of clothes from the relatives. Which works out GREAT cause we didn't have a whole lot for the 12 month size. We had a huge dinner both on Christmas Eve and on Christmas Day and were able to see almost all of Jim's family members. And of course we had Josh and Izzy where the santa outfits we got them. So cute!

Josh and Izzy played very well together. Izzy is really moving these days. She enjoyed stealing every toy from Josh at the beginning. Josh would just stare at her like, "why would you do that?" By the third day Josh started stealing things back. But they really did well together. They were on opposite schedules for the most part with eating and sleeping, so it seemed we always had a baby to play with.
