On Thursday Samuel and I left for Michigan. It was our first flight, just the two of us. He did amazing. He didn't get cranky at all. We made it into Michigan with no problems. The weather forecast indicating that a huge storm was supposed to be coming to Michigan at 4 am on Friday. Dave was worried that he wasn't going to be able to make it on Friday so he changed his flight to get in on Thursday night. Well, the storm had already hit Chicago and other areas up North. So he was supposed to get in at 11 pm on Thursday night, but he didn't make it until 12:30. Luckily he got in when he did because we got tons of snow on Friday. There were flights delayed and cancelled all day.
We hung out with Oma and Opa all day Friday. Dave and I went shopping because we were going to cook dinner for the family on Saturday. The family from Canada were planning to all drive in but the storm was so bad that they couldn't make it. We were really looking forward to seeing everyone, but there was no need to risk their safety.
On Saturday, Melissa and Jacob came and we opened all the Christmas gifts. We got very nice and beautiful things. Melissa got Jacob a sled for one his Christmas presents and we decided to put the boys on it and pull them around. Samuel has never seen snow or been on a sled. He LOVED it. He had the biggest smile on his face. His cheeks and nose were frozen and he didn't even care. It was so much fun to see him experiencing and enjoying something new.
We had to leave early on Sunday morning. We left for the airport at 9 am. We kept checking out flight to make sure it wasn't delayed, but unfortunately about 30 minutes before we were expected to board, the flight was delayed for another hour and 40 minutes. It was terrible. We finally got in last night into St. Louis at 4 pm. We were travelling for 8 hours straight. Thankfully Samuel did awesome. We were all so tired last night. We put Samuel to bed at 6:30 and we got in bed at 8. Samuel slept until 6:45 this morning.
We had a wonderful time in Michigan.
I will post pictures next, I just wanted to get all this down.
Lastly, Samuel crawled up the stairs on Saturday. All the way from the bottom to the top. It was pretty cool. Also, last night was the first night of Hanukkah. Samuel loved the lighting of the candles.
