Christmas in Michigan

Sorry it has been so long since I have posted anything. Bryan and I have been very busy over the past few weeks. On Dec 22nd we headed North, to Detroit, to spend Christmas with the Meadows/Voutsos side of the family. We had a WONDERFUL time visiting with all of my aunts, uncles, cousins, parents, and grandparents.





We stayed the first night with the Voutsos family in Allen Park. We had a fun time visiting with my Aunt Lisa, Uncle Lester, and our cousins, Angela, Thomas, and Gregory. We had a nice breakfast and visited with everyone well into the afternoon. Then we headed out to Ann Arbor for dinner with Aunt Paula and Uncle Jim.



We spent Christmas Eve back at the Voutsos's House, which was very special, as it is every year. We had a wonderful dinner and great desserts. We also enjoyed several fantastic wines with our dinner thanks to Uncle Jim.

On our last morning in Michigan, before heading to the airport, we woke up to a winter wonderland.

We had a great time with everyone this year and we are so thankful to have such a wonderful family. Thanks for all of the hard work that you guys put into making Christmas so special!
