We made it home from the polar vortex...or the winter wonderland, depending on your perspective! Since we were forced to stay a few extra days in Michigan, we labeled those days "bonus time"! And we made the most of it!!
Monday afternoon Steve and I took Shane to see the movie "Frozen," which seemed like a very fitting movie for us to go see! On Monday Tuesday morning we were feeling desperate to get out of the house, and so we braved the sub-zero temperatures and went out for breakfast! It proved to be a great time to go out as the restaurant was eager to have some customers!
Here is a picture of a snow covered street in Grand Rapids. We saw many cars that were plowed in and totally snow covered! Because of the snow and extreme cold, all the schools in the area had Christmas break extended by two days! The schools did open on Wednesday, and Faith and Shane went with Grandma Bruinsma to her school to help her teach her four P.E. classes in the afternoon!
Olivia sure enjoyed a few extra days to shop at Target! She started putting toys into the shopping cart and pushing them around! It was too cute!
While it was a great trip, there is something nice about being back in our own house! We are getting back into the groove of normal life again with school and activities! And maybe this week we'll even find an evening to take down the Christmas tree!
