Other Michigan excursions and excitement!

It was while we were in Michigan that the University of Michigan made it official in hiring Jim Harbaugh to be it's next football coach!  Being the big Michigan fans we are, this was a thrilling day!  Shane commemorated the event by wearing the Michigan pajamas he received for Christmas!! 
 
One of the things we always enjoy doing is going out for breakfast!  Faith always reminds us that we need to go out at least three times when we visit Grandpa and Grandma in order to hit all of our favorite spots!  At the Cherrie Inn the hot chocolate came with whipped cream, sprinkles, and chocolate syrup!!
 
While waiting for a table the next morning at the Omelette Shoppe, we were all thankful to have the mall to explore as entertainment. Olivia and Shane were fascinated by the Koi goldfish pools!
 
We were all excited to see some snow fall while we were there!  The kids were quick to want to go out and play in the snow, but they were also quick to come back inside!  Their California blood is not used to such cold weather!  By the time I had Olivia bundled up and ready to go outside, Shane was ready to come back inside the house!!
 
It was very special to be able to see relatives on both my mom and dad's side of the family!  This is a picture of Great-Grandma Bruinsma with all of her great-grandchildren!! 
 
Olivia had fun playing with Cooper, who is just a week younger than she is!  It was a great trip (even though we all came home with terrible colds!), as it's always so special to be around the family and friends we love during the Christmas season!  Happy 2015!!
