Over Christmas, we traveled to Chicago and Michigan to visit Brents various family members. While in Michigan, we decided we wanted to go to Hell...so we did. Hell, Michigan that is! Yes, there is a town...a very small town, called Hell, Michigan. It has a Country Store that is also the Post Office, Video store, Liquor store, quick stop and gift shop. There is an Ice-Scream Shop and Restaurant/Tavern/Karaoke bar called the Dam Site Inn. If you blinked, you would have missed it. And yes, Hell did freeze over!

The one major thing Chris kept asking Santa for this Christmas was a Nintendo DS...well, he got it. What follows is his reaction. Sorry you have to crane your neck, but as close as I was sitting to him, I had to turn my digital camera sideways.

Steph and I trying to make Emme laugh.

My son and my boyfriend being idiots with dry ice. They put pieces of dry ice in a container and poured water on it. When it started to "smoke", they proceeded to blow the "smoke" in each others face. They are obviously easily amused.
