~Seeing cousin Nick and watching the boys play together with grandpa's homemade construction trucks.
~Hanging with grandpa and grandma and Brent and Patti.
~Grandma's cooking and gold-star-earning-extensive-laundry-duty.
~Lots of Candyland, Chutes and Ladders and Busytown games. Also, Magna-tiles, construction trucks, remote control cars, cookie decorating/eating.
Lowlights of the trip:
~Eli barfing all over me, daddy and himself during the last few minutes of the flight to Minneapolis. Yes, we were THAT family on the plane. Poor Eli was sick for 3 days with the throw ups. See above note about grandma and laundry.
~Ben getting the throw ups in his sleep at the cabin. Again, see above note.
~Jen and Grandpa getting a touch of the boys' sickness also.
~Trying to make good time driving up to the cabin after landing in Mpls on Christmas Eve night, but getting turned around in road construction with horrendous signage in Mpls at 10:00 PM, smelling of barf, needing some sleep. After about 10 extra turns to get us on Hwy 169 N, and a lot of near expletives from mommy and daddy, Ben who had been quiet during the 15 minute delay, suddenly blurts out, "Daddy, you are a funny driver" - which completely cracked us up and then turned into a 'Highlight'.
It was so nice to see everyone in MN (including my girls on New Year's Eve). Here are a few pics from the trip. It was a brown Christmas, but we did get a few inches of snow one of the days, so we did get some sledding in...

Love the B&W picture of Ben on the ice. So good to see you. Your text after arriving home made me laugh.
