The first weekend in December we traveled up to Michigan (Detroit area) to visit the Gandys! The kids were so,so excited to see each other and it was great to finally make it up to hang out. Maryn and Caleb were on the go the entire time and could just not get enough of being together. I think Theo and Abigail have a bit of a love/hate relationship, but love following the big kids and playing. Actually I think Abigail was more into Cormac and being a little mommy...so sweet! We arrived on Friday night and on Saturday morning Jeremy went to practice with Dylan. That afternoon we walked to downtown Northville for a Christmas festival. What a cute little town! The kids got to see reindeer, Santa, ride a carousel and decorate a cookie. We then got dinner and headed home. On Sunday, we hung out in the morning and then got ready for the big game! Theo and Abigail stayed behind with a babysitter for some much needed naps :) Maryn and Caleb were excited to be the big kids going to the football game, well and Cormac was too! Funny enough the Lions were actually playing the Colts that weekend and so while we wore our Lions gear we cheered internally for the Colts :) I will say it was a little hard to hold in the excitement at the end of the game when the Colts came back to win! After the game we went back for pizza before making the late night drive back to Indy.
What a great weekend with amazing friends! So thankful for friendships that endure distance :)
Love the Gandys!!
