For the sixth year in a row we took the Heinisch children to Pokagon State Park to go tobogganing. Cal and Brett didn't join us, but this year Kaitlin did. The first two trips were the best as it wasn't crowded yet. The last one took over twenty minutes, so they decided to call it after the third time down. We stopped at Buffalo Wild Wings for lunch and were home in the early afternoon. We took Kaitlin home and everyone started on the final round of Christmas Take Down. Meg and Cam tackled the basement with Doug's help. He worked on the outside as well and I finished the ornament sorting and tree. By the time my parents came over to play games we had everything put away and all of the snowmen out for winter. We also swept and rearranged the living room. It felt wonderful to be done.
Cal went to Aubrey's tonight and Meg went to Gabby's for a party. Before they left I gave the four of them the Star Wars pillow slips that I had made complete with new pillows. Everyone seemed to like them and I was proud of myself for making them. Brett and Cam stayed home with us and played games most of the evening. Mom and Dad came up at 7 to join us. Doug made several appetizers and Mom brought black eyed peas and cornbread. It was a wonderful way to finish 2015.
