Bronner's Christmas Wonderland

Helaina took her first trip to Frankenmuth, MI. It is about an hour north of our house. If you've never had the pleasure of visiting...you should go! It is a historic German town whose original purpose was to serve as a mission post for the spread of Christianity. www.frankenmuth.org
Located within the city of Frankenmuth is Bronner's Christmas Wonderland. All year round Christmas is celebrated at the world's largest Christmas store. We were able to get Helaina her first Christmas ornament hand painted with her name. She was so excited to see all the displays, lights, attractions, and people. What a wonderful way to start the holiday season (especially on such a warm November day)! We also had the pleasure of enjoying my parents' company since last Wednesday. They are in town for a few days helping us watch Helaina during the work week, while Randy's parents traveled to Florida for a long weekend.

It's almost a miracle that we escaped Bronner's without Helaina pulling down a display or breaking all of the beautiful ornaments. She just has to get her hands on EVERYTHING!
