Christmas in Snowy Michigan

Grandma-grandma-grandma and Papa Babas had the sleds ready and cleared the way for another visit from Santa when we arrived in Michigan to round out our Christmas journey. Christmas night started off with a family music session (led by uncle Paul) that captivated both Owen and Paxton.

In keeping with our family tradition, the day after Christmas was one last chance for opening presents and spending time together with the family. Paxton did her best to keep Papa in line..."No tickies Papa!"

Paxton generously offered her stocking opening services to Brecken.

Happiness could be found in the form of a "ballee," Hot Wheels set, gumballs, and a microphone.

When she wasn't opening gifts, Paxton was busy chasing down her new best friend...kitty.

Once again, the Christmas ghost helped close out the year, leading Owen and the rest of us around the the snowy yard and into the barns in search of clues and the final gifts (hanging high in the barn this year) of the holiday season.

Bekah and Papa were big helpers for Owen on the hunt, reading clues and providing hints.

Ta da! Let's go open them.

Merry Christmas everyone!
