Christmas in GR

Tradition is we up to Grand Rapids to celebrate Christmas with the Postmas family the weekend before Christmas. Last year we missed out because we were in Alabama, so this year it was great that we could join everyone after only a 6.5 hour drive! Mike and I laugh at what road trippers we have become, 6.5 hours to us is nothing now after the Birmingham to Chicago journeys. Before we left Chicago the longest we ever spent in a car was 3.5 hours and that seemed painfully long to us, now that would be an absolute breeze...even with a toddler to entertain and feed the entire way.

Anyways, we successfully made the trip and it was so good to see the family! Jack and his cousin Noah are not yet at the age where they know how to play together. Hopefully by this summer they will be chasing each other around! Again, Jack got super spoiled with gifts and hugs and kisses. Jack is great traveling wherever, he just likes to see his people:) We ate dinner and did some much needed catch up, and then had one serious game of Jenga!

On Sunday morning we exchange gifts, visited some college friends, and celebrated Christmas with the Extened family. Including Grandma who is 90+! Every time we leave Grand Rapids we can't wait to come back. There are so many amazing friends we want Jack to meet and the time with family is just too short. Maybe one of these days the drive won't be quite so long, but whatever the future holds we will always just enjoy our time up there!
