Christmas In Michigan

For Christmas this year, we once again went "over the meadow and through the woods" and through Pennsylvania and Ohio to Grandma's house. The boys look forward to going each year as we are pretty much guaranteed snow. And while it didn't actually snow while we were there, there was several inches of snow on the ground. It's always relaxing at Grandma's house. I don't have the stress of trying to keep my own house tidy and neat with guests and Christmas detritus everywhere, and I'm not surrounded by projects needing my attention. Plus the hot tub is always a bonus. A few photos from our trip:
