Chris-giving with the Spratke's...

Brian's parents came this weekend to celebrate a joint Thanksgiving / Christmas with us. We have had a busy weekend!!!


Saturday morning, we got up and took Isaac to his first visit to Santa! Santa made a special appearance at Dematic (Brian's work)! Isaac didn't even flinch. He just sort of looked at Santa, then at us, looked at Santa - he was like "who IS this dude?". Needless to say, I am pretty sure he didn't ask for a Red Rider BB Gun...(you'll shoot your eye out!)

Then, we went directly to Meijer Gardens to see the Christmas tree / Train exhibit. It was just as fun as the last time!! We were able to get some photos to send out in our Christmas cards (which will likely be late again this year...ha).



After a nice nap, and some lunch - we headed out to get a Christmas tree. I LOVE going this - and we found a great place! They had fire, a sledding hill, and hot chocolate! We roamed all the way to the back before we found a tree. It probably wasn't the perfect tree - but as I told Brian - I can make any tree look Christmasy! :)

While we were there, Brian decided it was time for Isaac's first sled adventure. I was skeptical - however, Isaac surprised all of us with giggles the whole way down...all THREE times! He loved it!

We finished off the day with a big "Christ-giving" dinner and watching Blades of Glory.

What a fun day! We don't get a real Christmas tree...but part of me wants to go to a tree farm just for all the fun stuff!
