It was a lovely weekend. It's always lovely seeing my brother, even though several of us had colds.
Sunday: We started with our traditional bagel breakfast.
Then we opened presents! Liz got her own container of spice tea this year, since I heard she enjoys it as much as Nathan. Ben got two boxes of cheddar penguin crackers. We saw them in October when we were visiting without Ben, and Liz said she'd give them to Ben as a Christmas gift. Ben is forced to love his penguins!
Isaac and Joshua got a 'boulder ball'. It's a rock climbing game and Isaac has especially been getting into it.
There was a short nap time.
And then Aunt C came over! I see her from time to time, but it is always nice to see her.
The kids were going to watch half a movie in the evening, but then everyone was enjoying it so we watched the whole thing. The kids also fell right to sleep - they were all really tired.
Monday morning was just some down time, and then we went rock climbing. I don't have any pictures. It was a nice time, but they were route setting so there weren't as many walls available as normal.
After we got home and played a game, we got out some nerf guns in the basement. The stealing of darts was the best part.
It was also Isaac's birthday! It often gets down-played because we celebrate more in the summer, but it doesn't change the fact that he is now a teenager! We were teasing him about it and he started to be all, "I'm a grumpy teenager." in a grumpy voice. It was hilarious. I love his sense of humor.
