Great Wolf Lodge

We decided to take a quick vacation the day after Christmas to Gurnee to a resort called Great Wolf Lodge. It was such a cool place complete with a HUGE waterpark, putt putt golf course, arcade, bowling alley, several restaurants, a climbing wall, obstacle course, and probably more that I'm forgetting. They also had a whole schedule of events each day such as craft time, story hour, dance parties, games, and yoga. It was a great family vacation and we will definitely be going back someday!

While daddy was checking in, we had to go check out the water park. They could hardly wait to get their suits on!

 Each kid was given a pair of wolf ears when we checked in. I just LOVE this family selfie!

  We had so much fun at story time both nights. They even had character appearances from Violet the Wolf and Wiley the Wolf.

 This girl loved being in the hotel room! The kids had a separate room with bunk beds and two little windows that looked into the rest of the room. They all had fun looking and playing through the windows!

                                        Having fun at the arcade!

 

 

 

 

 All the hallways had these fun animal prints that the kids loved to follow each time we walked to our hotel room.

Cookie Exchange

On Monday, December 17th we had our annual cookie exchange and Kelly Rollins hosted it this year. We had a few families missing but we still had a great time!

Billtown Alumni Tournament

On Saturday, December 22nd, Shane played in an alumni basketball tournament. Depending on how good your team was you could end up playing for most of the day. Well, we got to the school at 9:30am and left the school at 6pm. His team got 2nd place! The kids had so much fun watching daddy play and also playing in mommy's classroom.

Ali loved taking selfies with me and the boys pretty much took over the whole stage. They were even locking each other in the old lockers!

Tucker Christmas

Tucker Family Christmas was held at Grandpa Bill's house this year and it was a full house! We had a great time seeing everyone and of course getting more presents! I didn't even take any pictures but I can always count on Annette to capture some good moments for me!

 Izzy got this game from Nannie earlier in the day and decided to bring it to Grandpa Bill's house. It was hilarious!

 They were having fun with snapchat filters and just the sweetest little photo of Uncle Sam and Ali!
