My last post didn't even begin to describe post-Christmas, which was with my side of the fam. My parents came into town in the afternoon on Christmas and stayed for a few days. The best part of that time was a hotel meet up with Joel, Lora, and Beto! They are in GR, so we got together in Lansing for a day of hanging out with my little nephew.
Here are the cousins...
Aunt Allison with Beto
The girls spent hours in the pool, which amazingly did not translate to falling asleep early in our hotel room. Oh well. I know by now never to truly expect that they will be asleep before 10pm when we are all sharing a room!
After saying goodbye to our Nica family, we returned to the Farm for some hair washing and styling after all that pool time. Love seeing Lexi with free hair, and this picture doesn't even begin to capture what it really looks like after a wash and detangling session. That lucky girl has lots o' beautiful hair!
We visited the Wizard of Oz exhibition at the Henry Ford, took a winter walk, read lots of books and played with lots of Christmas toys. The best surpise for Sasha was that Allison gave her an American Girl doll. Sasha had been asking and asking for one, but there was no way Nate and I were willing to spend that kind of money on a doll at Sasha's age. But she was lucky to have a very generous aunt who was willing to share hers! :) Unfortunately I don't have a lot of pictures because I was relying on the pictures my Dad took and I totally forgot to copy them onto my computer before they left.
And now our Christmas has been (mostly) documented! For New Year's Eve we cleared our house of all the clutter, made fondue for dinner and were in bed before midnight. I will be posting soon about some NEW things for the Cole fam in this new year! :)
