Our Trip to Michigan and Bryn's 3rd Birthday!

We headed back to Michigan for Thanksgiving and were able to spend about almost 10 days there.  It was really cold for the first few days and made us all grateful for Florida weather that we can play outside all the time in!  But, we did make it outside a few days.

We had two FSU game days in Michigan. 
 Bresnan and Brian relaxing on the couch together.

 Cold weather wear

 And in no time the hat is off and he' s on the move

 Bresnan loves the tunnel.  The bib is a MUST as he is a drooler and constantly teething, the count is at 6 for 10 months - way too many!

 We made it outside to play in the little amount of snow that stuck.  
Bryn was still very excited about it all!  Here is our miniature snowman.

 She loved the giant icicles hanging from our neighbor's steps
 She took her trike out for a spin but quickly learned about traction in the snow.
 On Thanksgiving all the cousins were playing outside and Bryn got to enjoy two seasons of fun - jumping in leaf piles and playing in snow!  (Notice the box in the road, the kids were using it as a sled and pushing each other in it down the road.  Who needs sleds?  Brian thought they were being rednecks :)
 Bryn and Hanna...or what we can see of Hanna
 We made it back and Brian got a chance to play outside with Bryn while Bresnan and I stayed inside.  Brian learned something new, he tried to build a snowman like mine, but couldn't.  The Florida boy never knew there are different types of snow and sometimes snow won't pack together.


Bryn got to celebrate her 3rd birthday in Michigan.  We started off with breakfast and opening presents with Papa, Me, and Aunt Cheryl.
 Once she saw presents, she couldn't wait!


 In the afternoon we went bowling.  We were lucky to have 
Norah and Stephanie and Turmells come too.

 Birthday Girl!
 Silly faces are a new favorite thing to do
 So scary!

 Her cookie cake (that she already dug into)!
 Bresnan even got a turn to roll a ball

We headed back to Florida and had a family dinner to celebrate Bryn's birthday.
 Another cookie cake with loads of frosting and Dora and Diego 
from last year's cake added on at the last minute.
 Making a wish

She even let Bresnan help a little bit.
Thank you to everyone who celebrated with us!
