Before traveling, we got to spend two glorious weeks with our families in Michigan, got to see our brothers and sisters, and the kids got to spend time with each other, as well as with the grand parents. It was lovely seeing Sophie play and interact with her cousins, notably with Ivy and Eve (since they are closest to her in age of all her cousins), especially now that she's old enough to be able to do that. Last time we saw them, she just turned one, and was crawling. Now she can play and learn. It truly was amazing seeing all the kids play with Sophie. Here is Ivy showing Sophie how to hula hoop.
Her absolute favorite cousin was Hannah, I think. She read to her, she let her wear/steal her bracelets, and they genuinely liked each other. Sophie still talks about her! She truly was amazing with her, and it was lovely seeing them together. Plus it was nice being able to hang with the adults, knowing Sophie was safe and having fun. Sophie even got to check out the snow for the first time. Like her mother, she was not really a fan of the cold. She refused to wear her gloves and we had to use plastic bags on her shoes since we didn't have boots.
Another highlight was Jim's brother Jon coming up from Tennessee (to visit, but also to take our Prius) and going to the D to see the Red Wings live. My parents were kind enough to take Sophie overnight so we could actually enjoy the game. Our seats were pretty good and they won in overtime. Here are a few I snapped from the warmup skate and during the game:

Home Keys. LOVE. I know he's 12 but he's just so darn CUTE.
I have a very understanding husband!

Franzen scored the winner in OT, here's the final score with the goal light:
Anyway, I just heard Sophie crying, so I will continue recounting this adventure on another day.
