More cousin time & New Year's Eve!

Over the Christmas and New Year break, we were able to get together with cousins Oliver and Elliot several times. We played in the rain, 

opened more Christmas presents, 

and celebrated the New Year together (along with the Reddy family). 

Oma and Opa were in Texas, cheering Michigan State football on in another bowl game win in the Cotton Bowl!

Memphis Cousins!

The Memphis McRitchie's traveled to Michigan over the holidays. We were lucky to finally get to hug the lovely Cora, and spend a lot of fun time together playing with new toys, going to the park, exploring the Henry Ford Museum and celebrating for Kathryn's birthday. 

Christmas with Grandma & Grandpa

Henry was concerned that Santa Claus would not be able to get into our condo to bring us Christmas presents because we do not have a chimney. So, to be extra cautious, we spent the night at Grandma and Grandpa's house on Christmas Eve because they have two fireplaces. Luckily, Santa found us at their house!

Dad and Grandma cooked a delicious Christmas Day dinner,

and the boys discovered that Grandma and Grandpa's bathtub has whirlpool jets!

Home (in Michigan, our new home) for the Holidays

Christmas came early when Oma and Opa traveled to celebrate with us in Ann Arbor. The highlights were our new "marvel" (marble) run, making a gingerbread house and swim time at Oma and Opa's hotel.
