That time when...

... your pjs are too tight so you have to unbutton them to sleep comfortably. 

Best buds (old and new)

What a nice picture...

Auntie Erica is here!

Yummy...?

This sling tastes good. 

Tour de Grandmas

This weekend, we did a "Tour de Grandmas," where we visited Justin's two grandmas in Clare and Midland, MI. 

Grandma Cooper is 93 years old and still living on her own. She was so worried about having enough space for all of us, that she was crawling on the floor in her bedroom, looking for the extra leaf in her dining room table :). She loved meeting Hazel for the first time! And Justin liked seeing Grey play with the same toys he played with when he was a kid :)

We then went to Grandma MacDonald's house in Midland. She lives in this awesome townhouse that has plenty of room for lots of visitors. We set up a pack and play where Hazel slept, and Grey slept with Mimi where we flopped like a fish all night. Grandma Mac is such a wonderful host- she not only had a bunch of homemade cookies, but she also had a whole dinner prepared for us even though we told her not to :). She is very active with her church, and was even helping to plan a funeral luncheon for 100 people!! 

I don't have many pics from Grandma Mac's house (my phone was full), but here's one Justin took of MaKenna with Hazel at Grandma Mac's house

Buddy, our EOTS

Yes, I just made an acronym of Elf on the Shelf. That's what all the cool kids do. 

Grey is at such a fun age for Christmas! I knew it would be a magical time for Grey, but I never imagined just how special it would be. We don't do the whole "he's watching you and reporting to Santa" thing (Grey should make good choices all time, not just when Buddy/Santa are watching!). So basically it is just finding him every morning and seeing what sorts of mischief he got into overnight. Grey LOVES finding him! He sometimes gets mad (like when Buddy was in the M&Ms), but mostly gets excited to find him. 

Other things that Grey does that's super cute: he really loves the Grinch movie! The one with real people, not the animated one. He calls it "the witch" instead of Grinch :). Also, we will catch him singing Jingle Bells at random times throughout the day. It's too cute.
