NYE ....... Detroit style!

The holidays were a bit crazy this year.  The kiddos spent Christmas in Texas then met me and Jim in Michigan for New Years Eve.  The trip was jam-packed with awesome stuff!!

Jim and I flew to Michigan a few days before the kids so we could get some gambling quality time in with Ruth (Jim's awesome mom), Carol and Ann Marie (Jim's wonderful sisters). We crossed the border and spent the weekend at Caesars in Windsor, Ontario.  So much fun!!!

The day the kids came in, Carol (Delanie calls her Aunt Jean) got us tickets in the Comcast suite for the Griffins game.  The Griffins are the farm team that trains recruits for the Detroit Red Wings.  They played outdoors at Comerica Park.  It was so cold outside but - lucky us! - we were warm and toasty inside the suite. 

 

 

Before the game, there was a huge play zone for the visitors. Both Garrett and Delanie took turns on the huge inflatable slide. Teenagers that are still kids at heart.

Between the periods, there was a drum line that kept Delanie entertained. You know she's got to love the drum line if she braved the cold temps outside!

Before we all met up in Michigan, it had been six months since I've seen this cute kid.  That's way too long!!  Isn't he just the cutest thing ever???
