We left my dad's house and headed up to the UP. Luke loves looking at toy catalogs that come in the mail I brought a bunch with me for the traveling. They came in handy here.
We stopped in Green Bay at the Hanson House to visit and have a great lunch. It was so great to see Marisa, Mark, and Evelyn. Marisa is due in about 3 weeks. We can't wait to hear the news if it is a boy or girl.
The boys had no problem making themselves at home playing with all of Evelyn's toys. Luke loved her Kitchen. Grandma Francie would be proud he went right for the mixer.
Marisa Looks fantastic and has had a great pregnancy and Miss Evelyn is so cute and smart just a cutie pie we loved seeing you all. We look forward to seeing you in Vegas in March.
Our visit was short and sweet so good to see our wonderful friends!
It was just what the boys needed before getting back on the road. Luke was lights out the rest of the way. Will too! Mommy and Daddy had a nice ride together.
We made it to the UP and Grandma Francie had all of Luke's toys ready to go. Luke took all his cars and lined them up in the bedroom with Papa. Papa couldn't play Luke made papa watch only.
My dear Francie she was in a horrible car accident at the end of October and fractured her neck in 2 places. She is in a lot of pain and discomfort with this brace she has to wear but she is all smiles seeing her kids and grandkids. She was so happy! She can't hold the kids but we put Will on her lap for a picture. He was so happy too!
Ben's good friend Steve brought his son Landen who is Luke's age over to play with Lukey. They had twin boys in September Brody and Brayden. It was so nice to see Mary Faye, Steve, Landen and the babies.

Danny and I had a pie contest and even though he made two pies Pumpkin and Apple I won big with My Chocolate Cream Pie. Danny made an honest effort! With all kidding aside his apple pie was great just as good as mine but I still want to be named the pie winner of 09 TG!

Happy Birthday Pops!
I got Pops some good gifts this year don't you like his hunting vest he wouldn't be caught dead in. Ha Ha! I think I did better with the fishing stuff I got him. He enjoyed it I hope!
I had fun picking out all the gifts for him too. I also made him another pie and Danny and I made dinner for everyone. It was a lot of fun!
Late night tractor rides on the big old green Tractor...I think that is a country song!!
Singing Happy Birthday to pops.
Ok I guess I deserved it after bragging how good my pie is I finally got it in the face. And guess what it was good! Ha Ha!
On our way home in the car Luke watching CARS movie. He liked the headphones and so did we!
Another great vacation with our families we love and miss you all!
