Wisconsin Holiday 2013

More catching up :)

I forgot to mention in my last blog that we actually had to delay our trip to Wisconsin by 1 day because of a canceled flight....almost was 2 days but I spent several hours on the phone just waiting for something to open up and it did.  Sad part was the flight was canceled at about 2 am.  JJ briefly woke up while we were waiting for Joe to get the car and he started to cry because he realized he was not going on a plane to Wisconsin.  It was very hard to explain that to a sleepy 3 year old.

Our friends the Judkins have a party every year and we were so happy that we made it!  It was so great to see some friends.

 And the Ladies.

We were so grateful to not only see family this trip but many friends.  Thank you to everyone who made a special trip to visit or opened their home (or business) for us. I wish I would have gotten more pictures, especially of all the kids.  We love you all and miss you!
