In lieu of a traditional Christmas this year, Josh's parents got us all a big house to stay at near Pokagan State Park for the weekend before Christmas. It was so much fun! And we all got to be together instead of having to go our separate ways each night. Bonus, it had a huge barn area with a hot tub, ping pong table, and pool table. Kids absolutely loved that!
Jenga was a hit for sure.
On Saturday morning we woke up to open presents. Everybody had another person to buy stocking stuff for, we opened presents forever!
Then we hit the outlets, which were kinda sad but we still managed to buy a few things. After we got back we had lunch and then got around to playing the minute to win it games that Divana and I brought. They were pretty hilarious!
The elephant march one was by far the best. Here's Brooklyn doing her best to knock over solo cups with tennis balls in the ends of panty hose attached to her head. Hilarious.
Sophie and Dave helped get dinner ready. We had brisket that Josh cooked beforehand and then a bunch of meats and cheeses.
Sunday morning we went to the state park to do the toboggan run. Whew that was a lot of work but worth it! And I didn't even carry the toboggans most of the time!
After about an hour of tobogganing we went to a buffalo preserve nearby. It was out way in the open so it was basically freezing the whole time. Very interesting but would have loved it to be a couple degrees warmer!
Came back to the house for a soup lunch before getting our things around and heading home! Such a fun weekend-the kids really loved getting so much quality time with their cousins too.
Last thing-Brit sent this huge bag of cheese home for Dave. And we are still using it today, ha!
