Now this is COLD!!

Given we lived in Michigan for so long you would think we are use to cold - and we are - but not this kind of cold!! Here is an idea of what our weather is like in january. Yes, it gets bitter. It's days like this we think maybe we should have moved to California! ha! So, yes it gets cold here but we still like living here!

Mall of America

 We live close to the Mall of America. Yes it is HUGE!! Our neighbors gave us the nicest gift at Christmas. They gave us wrist bands for our kids to use at Mall of America for unlimited rides for a day. It was so nice of them and our kids had a blast! We had fun meeting up with Matt and Camie's family.

 

 Camie and I were with the smaller kids while the older kids did the bigger scarier rides. This is one of Ethan's favorites!

We had fun meeting up with Alisa and one of her friends (Camie couldn't make it because Wyatt ended up really sick the night before!) to go bowling to celebrate Owen's birthday. It was fun and the kids loved it. Jane loved rolling the ball but had an equal amount of fun trying to cram food into Olivia's mouth!! It was funny!
