Michigan City Christmas



Christmas part 2 - Michigan City with Bill's relatives

We had a fun time visiting everyone in Indiana. The cousins played non-stop. Noah & Hayden were the farmers this time around, feeding the sheep and collecting the eggs daily. The boys enjoyed teasing and playing card games with Eleanor, and laughing & playing with Grandma.
On New Year's Eve, we opened gifts and had a pizza party at Matt & Janet's house. The kids loved their new additions - a dog named Jack & a cat named Susie. Everyone stayed up late to celebrate the New Year!
On New Year's Day, we were treated to a fabulous meal from Matt & Janet, and football played on the big screen...
We experienced good ole' Midwest lake effect snow the entire 6 days we were there, and watched 16 " of snow accumulate over LaPorte County. We caravaned with Bob & Co. down to Washington Park to see the light display, which was huge this year. This is right off the beach at Lake Michigan and it's always cool to see the lake & lighthouse.
