The weather, though still nasty, had tamed down a bit. At least, enough to make the trip to see Eric's side of the family. We're really getting tired of this winter and it's not even January! Gah!! We were also very eager to everyone; it had been far too long!
The kids are all growing up. With each year that passes, it's bittersweet.
Our present-opening was rather fun-filled. The kids got some interesting things!
Years ago, we pulled the "prank boxes" on Isaac. This year, Uncle Troy and Auntie Sarah had pranks for Ramsey. This was rather fitting since one of Ramsey's new chores is picking up dog poop!
As for Connor, I would have taken a video, but it would have eaten up too much bandwidth. Again, he "forgot" to fill out his Elfster Wish List. So, once again, he got the "box inside of a box inside of a box inside of a box".
This one was even crazier than last year's! There were like a DOZEN wrapped gifts; some with twine, string, duct tape...
Connor got a kick out of it (as we all did). And, the hard labor of present-opening was rewarded with some cold hard cash.
After present-opening, it was time for more snacks. Plus, a few games of Rummikub and Chicken Foot.
When we left the next day, the visibility was low, but the flocked trees were gorgeous.
I think Jango was bushed from all the play and fun. He had a nice little nap on the way home while we slowly battled the icy roads and fog. (Best idea ever.)
