Ryan and I thought we could do our normal travel schedule and just bring Claire along - HA! It all worked out, we got to see (almost) all the families and had a wonderful time...I just wouldn't exactly say that it was relaxing!
Part 1: Madison
During the 1st 2 days of my vacation Claire still got to go to Jen's. This was so I could run around town finishing up Christmas gifts, vacuuming and packing. I thought that would be the end of the whirlwind...nope.
On Tuesday night we drove down to Madison - including an exciting bout of freezing rain in Mauston and a new route home. Ryan asked "How careful is careful with a 10-month old in the back". Not careful enough.
On Wednesday we stopped by Demco (Gpa's office) to show off Claire. Scratch that - so Gpa Mark could show Claire off. He literally introduced her to every single employee!! I think he even checked to see if anyone was at the loading dock he could talk to. I don't remember though because he ditched us part way through - I think we were slowing him down.
After that we stopped by GGma's temporary (nursing) home to celebrate Christmas. (Side note, I believe she's back home now - yeah!). Alicia and Kellie (cousins I haven't seen in 3 years stopped by) so it was quite the reunion!
Claire had fun exploring the sun room.
Opening her 1st present. Surprisingly GGma didn't go nuts! Only 1 toy and some very cute outfits. (Only problem is the toy doesn't have a volume switch. Luckily it has on/off - found that!).
Anyone remember the picture of these 2 from the cabin - exact same pose!
Kisses!
Checking to make sure GGma's nose is still working.
The ladies (Ggma is an angel!)
