We just got back from a week in the snowy, snowy Upper Peninsula of Michigan. We had a blast visiting with Boomma and Papa, aunts and uncles, and cousins galore! Our visit started with a Christmas pool party ...
The kids decorated cupcakes,
ate their finished products (I'm so glad he didn't go overboard on the sugar),
played "pin the carrot on the snowman,"
and just hung out with Papa.
Noah was anxious to get in the pool.
"I'm so excited!"
It was so worth the wait.

On New Year's Eve we all got together for yet another party. Ben and Noah had a great time ringing in the new year with all their cousins.
Noah had to go to bed before the real festivities began, but he tried out the dealy-boppers and maracas before turning in.
The kids enjoyed karaoke,
and noisemakers,
and more noisemakers,
and more noisemakers.
Did I mention there were noisemakers?
silly string!

silly string!There was a crazy amount of snow this year. Although it was bitterly cold the whole week, we did manage to get in some outdoor play time, including a trip to the sled hill, which had mixed reviews.
On the way to sledding ...
Ben, are you in there?

Strangley, Noah didn't enjoy being pelted in the face with cold wind and snow.

You'd never know they didn't actually have to climb back up a single hill!
One of Ben's favorite parts of the trip was riding Papa's 6-wheeler. He seriously didn't want to get off. Ever.
Ben, Daddy, and Jeremy's masterpiece (Ben's been dying to put a carrot nose on a snowman all winter).
And, of course, there's nothing's better than coming in to warm up by the fire.
