We met up with Miguel, Kate and Javi on Christmas Eve day in Evanston.
We got some food and exchanged gifts.
We spent time in Barnes and Noble and the Jav loves his trucks and anything with wheels!
We spent Christmas Eve at the Palmer House in downtown Chicago.
Novi and Heather played "store" and some "salon" in the hotel suite.
I think Heather got a great last minute deal on a shirt for Christmas.
Novali got to see her little cousin Acire and exchange gifts with the Gomez family.
The ladies in front of the huge
tree in the hotel lobby.
Christmas Day we went to Flint for family dinner, and then made it to Bad Axe at night.
First thing on her list was finding Keal..
Novali enjoying the things to do in Bad Axe.... shoveling snow...
Playing the paino...
Making cookies...
Then off to sledding!
Trying to push Greg...
Greg pushing Novali
She stayed for a long time despite the cold...
Smile! Novali wished Bad Axe was closer so she could see Keal more.
We went to Saginaw to see Raquel, Josh and the girls
Ayanna all over the place!
Some Wii golf and bowling
Making ice cream.
Those girls have a lot of energy...
Ended the trip in Winetka for Javi's birthday on New Years Day.
Arts and Crafts time!
Novali made a few of them.
He just wanted to jump in...
Whomp there it is... cake on your face.
