VanDyke Christmas

After opening presents with our kiddos we packed up the car and headed north.  Traverse City bound for Christmas with the VanDyke's.  A little bummed my brother and his family wouldn't be joining us, they were with my sister in laws family in the Chicago area.  We enjoyed our afternoon and met my sister's new puppy, Otis.  He is a cute little furball who is very mild.  I can't get over the fact that you can't see his eyes when you look at him.  But he is nice and fluffy to snuggle with.
