The day after Christmas all five of us (Rockne included) packed into the car and headed north to share the holiday celebrations with our Briggs family. Luckily Nonna and Ga are one house away, so we got to spend some time with them too. :o) Though you didn't particularly like the 15-hour drive up to Michigan, you enjoyed yourself while we were there!
Once again, when opening presents, you went for anything that you weren't supposed to have: wrapping paper, bows, labels, plastic wrappers, cardboard, tape, string, ribbons, anything you could get your little paws on...while your toys stood idle next to you.
While we were at Grandma and Grandpa's you enjoyed all of the attention. You even had a little playmate - Nixon loved playing with you and would run over and yell, "Cha-lotte!" every time he saw you. Though the visit was quick, you got to see lots of the extended family on the Briggs side too.
I don't think you liked the sled rides quite as much as your sister did, but you loved the snow. And there was plenty of it to play in!
On the trip home we foolishly thought we'd stop half-way at a hotel to get some sleep. You, however, decided to wake up at 3:00 am. Since we were all in the same room, trying to get any more sleep was impossible, so we hopped back in the car and headed home. Thanks to you we were enjoying the comforts of our own house before 8:00am. :o) A crazy, but fun trip!
