Although we typically spend Christmas in Chicago, at the movies and eating Chinese takeout, this year was a little different. Well, in terms of location anyway.
Since Josh didn't make it to Ann Arbor for Thanksgiving, he decided to try to recreate Thanksgiving by having everyone go to my parents' house over Christmas. Even though Lisa and her family couldn't make it in, we three decided at the last minute to head up to A2.
We spent Christmas pretty much as usual, at the movies with Chinese takeout--but this time with the added bonus of being with family. My mom stayed with Zoe while the rest of us saw Up in the Air. I really enjoyed it, but it was much more of a downer than I expected it to be. Regardless, you can't go wrong with a little Clooney on Christmas. 
We also took Zoe to Ann Arbor's Hands-on Museum and she loved it! So many things to climb and chew on--sheer bliss for Z. It is an awesome museum. I so wish we had one in Chicago, especially in winter when going to the park is a non-option. I'm going to check out the Chicago Children's Museum at Navy Pier, but I'm thinking that may be better for older kids. Also in Michigan, Zoe learned how to climb the stairs--good times. She basically just crawled over to the stairs and started climbing away. She was quite excited and just so cute, as usual--we just had to pay a little more attention to make sure she had some assistance on the way down.
It was a short trip, but a good one. Great to see Josh and my parents and to get in an extra Michigan visit before the end of the year.
