In light of making no sense with these posts at all... I am going to write about New Years before Christmas? Kay cool, just go with it.
Sooooo, on December 31st, the roads were terrible (like real bad) but we trekked north anyway. Ludington or bust. And it was worth it because small Midwestern towns are the cutest and there's nothing better than holidays with family. And Ryan was in town so seven kids under one roof, no wonder the polar vortex descended upon us.
The best thing about small towns is that there are small populations of people. So for a grand celebration in Ludington, MI, people are clever and party in storefronts in warmth until about 11:45. So unlike NYC for NYE we were able to stay toasty for a bit and go to the bathroom.
The majority of these people are related to me... not all, but most. And some might claim to be, who knows? Other great things about small towns?
The worst thing though is that this small town is located in Northern Michigan so even though we were outside in "crowds" for only 25 minutes we were probably more in fear of our noses turning red and falling off than all the people in NYC combined.
As Torey cries about the temperature.
Blurry, but they're the prettiest so I had ta.
Stole this one from the gram so the ball did drop and the firework display was killing it.
12:01 selfies because 2014 is about to be the craziest year of my life.
Small towns let you get up close and personal with the flashing who's-a-ma-what-z-it, I think we have you beat New York.
I included this photo only because I love Thomas so much.
And here we are, all in one frozen ice block so mom could get what will likely be on our Christmas card next year, or at this rate we could throw it on with 2013, keep-a-checking your mailboxes friends, they're-a-coming.
