Winter Vacation - Part 3

Sunday was a relaxing day for all of us.  We enjoyed a day of watching football by my brother in law, Ryan's house.  Since they are all HUGE Packers fans I got to listen to them all celebrate their victory :-)  I actually didn't take one picture this entire day!  So unlike me!

But don't worry I made up for it on Monday, Christmas Eve :-)

We started our day out at Downtown Milwaukee.  The girls loved this HUGE Christmas display in the bank.  It was really neat!

After exploring Downtown Milwaukee, I went home to finish up some last minute Christmas things while the hubby and the girls headed to the mall with my brother in laws.  We all got ready and headed over to my brother in law Dan and sister in law Gaby's place.  We had a yummy dinner, watched Home Alone (my favorite), played board games, opened presents, and had lots of laughs!  We had a great time!  The girls were so exhausted that they feel asleep at the table while we were playing a board game :-)

 

Winter Vacation - Part 2

Saturday was the Hogan/Conway Christmas celebration.  There was about 30+ people.  Sean has a VERY big family so when we have get togethers its nothing but small!  We had a ton of laughs!  The boys are definitely crazy and keep things entertained.  And of course after several shots they were even more interesting!  We are so glad we were able to be apart of the celebration this year.

Winter Vacation - Part 1

We are back to the grind.  Thank goodness we only have today to work and go to school because we sure do have a ton to clean and organize around here.

We started our trip Wednesday late afternoon.  Our first stop was Tennessee to visit my sister and her husband.  We didn't arrive until 3a, so we made a little small talk and off to bed we went.  We did get to spend a few hours in the morning with them before heading on to Wisconsin.

As soon as we arrived in Wisconsin the girls had one thing on their mind, playing in the snow.  After our crazy drive we needed to relieve some stress and just have fun.  And that is exactly what the girls did.  This was their first time getting to play in snow and they LOVED it.  Of course after about 30 minutes they were both ready to come in since it was chilly but they had a blast!

After the girls came in and got all warmed up with some yummy hot chocolate and cookies, we got dressed and met the rest of the family for dinner.  The girls were super excited because they got to hang out with their cousin Brianna. After dinner we called it a night since we had a long day of traveling. 

Wordless Wednesday - 12.26

Crazy family!

And back we go!

On the road we go back to home. Lets hope our drive is a little easier on the way back!

Hope everyone had a great Christmas with their loved ones! I have tons of pictures to post when we get home!

Merry Christmas!

Merry Christmas from our home to yours! Hope everyone has a great day with their family & friends!

We made it!

After our adventurous drive we finally arrived yesterday morning. We hit some pretty crazy weather on the way up. Our 18 hour car drive turned into a 28 hour drive. I am just glad we arrived safely!

Of course one of the first things the girls wanted to do was play in the snow. They had a blast! Freezing and all! I have a ton of pics but here is one for now of Cam all bundled up!
