christmas in grand haven

this year we travelled to grand haven, michigan to celebrate christmas with david's family. it was a lovely time.

david enjoyed his new basket.


crafting after gift opening, a christmas tradition.


western michigan has seen a lot of snow this winter. much fun was had snowshoeing on the beach, over the frozen waters of lake michigan, and out to the lighthouse.
