Random pics of our trip to North Dakota

As you can see we had a lot of fun with the kids!

See below for more details

North Dakota for Christmas!

Wow what a trip! Lots of driving, sleeping and white knuckle driving snow storms! But most important we had a wonderful time with the kids, dad working with Mike on his flag box and Hollie's good cooking!

It was so wonderful seeing the kid's reaction when they saw us standing in their living room! That alone made the long drive worth it! It was lots of fun watching the kids open their stockings from us. Mason about crawled inside to find his many little surprises. They loved their pop rocks! It was great fun taking pics of their reactions. We got lots of rest and wonderful hugs and food. We did some site seeing in Northwood and saw the house Mike and Hollie have been remodeling. A tornado went through and destroyed a lot of trees and homes etc. It was a sadly amazing site. They have done a marvelous job on the house! We also did some santa shopping.

We are glad for the blessing of being there for a week.

getting closer to the big day!
