December 2017

In addition to celebrating Christmas, we've had a great month, full of family activities.  We took the kids to West Lafayette to see a Purdue basketball game. The kids had a great time and especially loved staying in a hotel overnight.  Liam was happy to walk through the Neil Armstrong building.  He saw a few familiar faces on the wall.  Lilly danced beautifully in her Nutcracker performance.  It is great to see how far she has come.  She was beautiful!  We went to Concordia's Embassy Christmas concert as a family.  The kids enjoyed dressing up and getting hot chocolate afterwards.  We decorated sugar cookies and the kids made a gingerbread house and train with their cousins.  
Over break we went with Grandma Kusch and the Harts to a Pistons game. The kids got to shoot a free throw after the game.  We also went to the Henry Ford Museum.  There was a special exhibit called, The Science Behind PIXAR.  It was fascinating to see how much math and science goes into a PIXAR film.  We ended the day by seeing Star Wars in the IMAX theater!
When we got home from Michigan, the kids spent lots of time with the Herman cousins.
