Goodbye 2019, welcome 2020!


At our New Year's Eve party (movies and frozen appetizers in the great white north), we all shared our favorite 2019 memory and something we're looking forward to in 2020.

DJ: Favorite memory is going to Michigan Adventure this summer. He's most looking forward to playing baseball this spring, hopefully for Grand Ledge.

Nellie: Favorite memory is Christmas, getting a Hamilton ticket which she was not expecting! She's excited to turn 13.

Annie: Favorite memory is going on her first upside-down roller coaster and being in Frozen Jr. She's most looking forward to trying new things in 2020 now that she's older, like auditioning for plays and riding bigger amusement park rides.

Eddie: Favorite memory is going to Michigan Adventure and "all the other good things that happened." He's looking forward to next Christmas.

Mary Cate: Favorite memory is finding treasures. She is looking forward to "nothing."

Jamie: Favorite memories are watching the kids gain new experiences and interests. For the girls, definitely being in Frozen Jr. with Midway Theater Company. For DJ, starting to love reading. For Eddie, starting kindergarten and Mary Cate, starting preschool and learning to tolerate it. Running regularly starting this summer with Kevin was a favorite personal memory (especially the ledges on my birthday). I'm most looking forward to a couple of travel opportunities this year and of course, the great blessing of seeing the kids learn and grow.

Kevin: Favorite memories are playing football with DJ, turkey hunting with the kids. Running with Jamie (and sometimes Mary Cate) all summer and fall. He's most looking forward to the next hunting season.

Papa Mike: Favorite memory was backpacking in the mountains, especially the hike up to Lava Lake in Montana. He's most looking forward to "surviving" in 2020.
