Up North by Great Grandma & Grandpa Wagner

Since we didn't get to see Tim's Grandma & Grandpa Wagner for Thanksgiving or Christmas, we decided to visit them. It was like a mini Christmas celebration. We went out to eat right after we arrived on Friday night and then the kids had gifts to open once we got back to the house. Sonya's gift was a little too big and awkward to be wrapped. -- Great Grandpa built her a baby cradle. It's big enough for her to fit in! (see the photos below). I don't think she realized that it was all hers and she could take it home. Caleb received some really cool walkie talkies. He kept clipping them on his pants and walking around like he was all macho. haha... He has yet to learn the great art of communication via walkie talkie though.

Such a goof!

 On Saturday morning, we played some wicked games of Crazy 8's. Well, they were definitely entertaining. Later that afternoon, Tim's aunt and uncle came up from Green Bay. They brought their two girls along so that was nice for our kids to have some playmates. The kids decided to have a tea party. You should've heard Caleb talking in a high pitched girls' voice. That child cracks me up!! Sonya was loving all the attention she got. It was just really good to be able to catch up with relatives. I think the women ended up talking more since there was football on TV, but it was still quite enjoyable.

On Sunday morning, we packed up our stuff before heading to church. Then we went out to eat for brunch so we could get on the road right away to try and avoid traffic in Green Bay since it was game day. We made it home with plenty of time before the Packer game. Unfortunately, it wasn't a happy ending. Poor Tim. I guess we'll have to wait a few months before they play again.
