Winter in Traverse

Hannah is exhausted from this weekend! Hannah traveled the countryside in Traverse City's best winter in over a decade! The snow was so deep at times it was level with our Mini Van's window. It was crisp and cold, but the sky was so clear and blue.

Great Grandma Crouch got a visit on Sunday from Hannah. She needed her bottle but after she ate she was happy and ready to show great grandma her big smile.

Hannah's dog Oliver proved to be a proud squirrel hunter! He came very close to catching a few and might have if he didn't bump into a bird feeder one time. Hannah got to see a beautiful woodpecker -up close for the first time as well. Northern Michigan is beautiful this time of year!

Granny worked hard to make two pies for us! Both Blueberry and Blackberry pies. Daddy made the roast for dinner. The Jenga Game was the highlight of Saturday night. Matt, Amber's boyfriend was the lucky one this time. I hope his weekend wasn't ruined because he lost at Jenga (like he said it would) because we had a wonderful time seeing him and everyone else!

Merry Christmas!

Our Little Hannah Gracie had a fantastic time visiting all her Grandparents, Aunts and Uncle Jacob for Christmas! She made the trip to Jackson Michigan on Christmas Eve to spend Christmas with Grandma Gail and Grandpa Mo. Aunt Heather was visiting from Grad School in Virginia Beach. Aunt Angela was there as well as Uncle Jake. ;) We all enjoyed spending our first Christmas with Joni and Hannah. We're so blessed to have these little darlings in our lives!


Christmas morning started early for Hannah. After sleeping all night ( a huge achievement for little Hannah) We headed up North to Traverse City to see Granny and Grandpa Crouch. There were more presents for Hannah under the tree than for Mommy and daddy combined! She got the cute little stripped dress she's wearing with Aunt Mandy in the photo for Christmas!
