Yesterday we went early in the morning for our 3rd annual trip to Macy's to the 8th floor Christmas exhibit! We met the McGuires walked through the exhibit and then had a visit with Santa. Carina did really well - Sam was okay at first then turned around looked at the big guy with the white beard and decided he wanted down! Very cute!

After the exhibit we went to grab some brunch...

At the beginning- The Day in the Life of an Elf

Last weekend we spent the weekend in Wisconsin at the Wiltz house. We were able to celebrate Thanksgiving/Christmas with Jeff's aunt Karen, Uncle Bob, cousin Karaline and the Purdy's (Hoosh and Jack), Jeff's Grandma (Re Re), good friend Peggy and the Mundo's (Jeff's sister Jenny, brother in-law (Tony) and the crew (Nathan, Jillian, Dillon and Gavin).

We had a really good time. Carina and Sam had a great time playing in the snow with the cousins and Uncle Bob, visiting with Hoosh, Jack and the aunts and uncles! It was good to see everyone. We want to thank Karen and Bob for hosting us!!
