We had a very busy but relaxing holiday break. We spent the weekend before Christmas in West Lafayette to celebrate with the Kraebbers then took a full week in WI. My game schedule worked out great this year so we got to spend a lot more time with family than normal. Ally was so excited, not specifically for Santa to come but to see everyone and get to play with her beloved Uncle CoCo. We picked him up at the airport in Madison on our way up and Ally got to boss him around and annoy him for a full week. She was not really interested in having Santa come but she was very interested in opening presents!
There was a ton of snow on the ground when we got to my parents so Ally got to use her snowsuit and get pulled in the sled a little bit. She got to have Christmas Eve dinner at Grandpa Joel's with great grandma and grandpa then play all day on Christmas with a whole bunch of family. We even got to hang out at the YMCA water park one day. She had no complaints about all of the wonderful gifts she got and we left each house we stayed at a sparkly, glittery mess!
We took Corey back to the airport on Friday then headed home to see what Santa left at our house while we were gone. Ally was a pretty good traveler considering it was just the two of us and we had a little messy weather to deal with both ways. Karl had to drive separately since he wasn't able to stay as long. We have wonderful family and are very thankful for all of the Christmas gifts and time we were able to spend with them. Unfortunately I didn't take hardly any pictures, not even a family shot but here are a few.
