Bowling in the New Year!

Once again the family went bowling to bring in the New Year.  We had a great time, Olivia won on our lane!  Kids had a blast and as always it was fun watching them.  Bring on 2015!!

Christmas 2014

Christmas 2014 went over pretty well.  Had a great time with the Hoffman's on Christmas Eve and my family on Christmas Day.  Had fun with the families, which is really what it is about.  The gifts were fun and we had some laughs, but spending the holidays with family and loved ones was very nice. We got some snow on Christmas Eve, just enough to make the drive from Jackson a bit interesting, but it didn't stay white for Christmas.  Regardless, had a great holiday, we were all mostly healthy, and had a great time.

'A Christmas Story' House!!!

Well, my plan was originally to take the four older kids and my mom to Cleveland to see the house in the movie "A Christmas Story'.  However, after a rough weekend of the coughs and fevers none of the kids felt up to going, but my mom and I soldiered on!  We had fun seeing the house and getting to walk around in the footsteps of Ralphie and Randy!  A great way to start Christmas Week!!!

Early Christmas present for Emma

My friend Rob wanted to thank Emma for her help with our Christmas float for my office so he got a basketball signed by Tom Izzo for her!  He lives next door to an MSU baseball coach so he was able to get it for her.  It is awesome!

Courtside for the MSU vs Oakland game

Well, I got the company courtside seats for tonight's MSU game.  The kids had a riot, getting to go into the special room downstairs with food and drinks, being so close to the action during the game, it really is amazing.  We even got several autographs after the game!  A late night but it was well worth it!  

Crossroads Village and the Huckle Berry Railroad

Tonight we went to Cross Roads Village to ride on the Christmas train.  The kids love the train ride and all the lights.  At least it wasn't as cold as last year!!
