Sloothaak Day!

We woke up bright and early one day on our vacation and made the 3 hour drive up to Zeeland, Michigan to spend the day with the Sloothaak family! We borrowed my sister's car, so we didn't have a lot of time to be gone, so we planned to pack the most we could into about 9 hours and then drive home later that same night. 

I loved being able to hand deliver Trey and Rowan and Jill's Christmas presents. 

We didn't plan to go anywhere. We just wanted to be together. See the basketball hoop in the back. The Sloothaaks gave the same one to our boys for Christmas. We are going to put it up in the basement! They sure will have a lot of fun with it! 

The big boys.

We got Trey a pro back Tigers hat. Our boys LOVE theirs, so we thought Trey might too. Heath is sporting his new Cubs hat, Trey is in Tigers, and Nolan has his Rockies hat on. Cute guys! 

Trey got Beyblades for Christmas so we had fun battling each other!

I had to get a pic with this sweet girl! 

After a busy morning of playing we had some chill time and watched Ice Age the Meltdown. 

Then it was time for a little dance party! 

Our kids clearly get their smooth moves from their Mommies! 

We ordered pizza from Jets for dinner. 

Jill and I were wondering why we waited until the end of the day to get a picture together. But we couldn't let the day pass without one. 

Trey loves Brooks and is so good to him. Here they are playing catch. 

And a little snuggle time. 

All the kids in their pajamas. 

Then it was time to say tearful goodbyes and load up in the car for the drive home. 

The boys were out within minutes! 

It was a busy day...but SO worth it! 

We only get a few days a year with our dear friends. But we always pick up right where we left off. We truly treasure our friendship with this family and are so blessed to have them in our lives!
