Meijer Gardens

We love visiting the Meijer Gardens during the Christmas season to see the trees from countries around the world and also the train display.  This morning the kids and I went with Karen.  We checked out the trees and spent a long time in the train area checking out the displays and watching the trains.  They have replicas of buildings from around Grand Rapids that are all made of natural materials.  They are so fun to look at and the detail is amazing!  They added several this year, and it's always fun to see the new additions each year.

Fifth Third Ballpark

On our way to lunch at Olga's with the rest of the family, we stopped at the library.  I had to post these pictures of the kids!  They had a theater area set up at the library and this was part of that.

To end our fun day, tonight we celebrated our nephew Tyler's 5th birthday!  We can hardly believe that he and Miriam are turning 5 already.  It was fun celebrating his special day with Casey's family and Jeff's side of the family too.  We always have fun with all of them.
