GLI part 2

Acelynn got to go Friday night with my mom and sister to the GLI for the Championship game between Michigan and MSU. She decided she was going to wear all Sparty (that's my girl and the shirt she is wearing I wore some 30 years ago- both of my girls have worn this shirt).

M-A-I-N-E GO BLUE!!!!

(only time you will ever hear me say Go Blue)

Acey enjoying the seats

Being a BIG girl sitting in her seat

(I am surprised she can actually hold the seat down herself!!)

Acey and Grammie

Even though Acey cheered her heart out for the Spartans they were unable to pull out the victory. They lost to Michigan 3-2 in OT

GLI

My mom asked if she could take the girls to the Great Lakes Invitational this year. It would be their first trip ever to Joe Louis, so I said "Yes". Ava got to with my mom and sister Thursday night because she was having a sleep over the next night with Laine. She was all excited to go and she decided to wear her MSU sweatshirt and her Michigan t-shirt since both teams were playing and she likes them both!!!

The past couple years the Joe has decided to put their regular ticket holders on the sides and leave the ends open for general admission. My mom isn't a fan of her seats, but what can you do??? 30 some years of buying tickets for the GLI and you have no say in where you sit. I guess they are thankful college hockey fans are dedicated!!!

Ava was excited because she got to see both of her teams win!!! Michigan beat Boston College 4-2 and MSU beat Michigan Tech 3-1.

Christmas with my family

On Christmas Eve evening we headed over to my mom's house to have Christmas with her and my sisters. We went to the Children's mass at Church. For the homily Father Kusi invited all the kids up and talked to them about who's birthday we were celebrating and what they were all thankful for. It was really nice. Then we headed to my mom's and had a wonderful Chicken Cordon Bleu for dinner!!

Our Tree

As always, I love taking pictures of our girls in front of our Christmas tree. They did a great job decorating it this year. We also started a new tradition with them this year....Candy found us 2 24" Christmas trees. So, we gave them to the girls to put in their rooms. They got lights only on them this year, but next year I can't wait to watch them decorate those trees as well!!!

Trying to get a good picture for our Christmas frame.....

Merry Christmas!!!!

Christmas at Meemaw & Papa's

We went over to Meemaw and Papa's house Christmas Eve morning to have breakfast and open presents!!!! We had our annual sausage bread and cinnamon rolls. We let the kids open their stocking stuffers first and then took a break and then they came back and opened the rest of their gifts. When they were all done opening gifts, the adults opened their stocking stuffers!!!
