Happy 2013! That still sounds so odd. I officially wrote 2012 on my first check of the new year...sigh.
We had a great week with G & G Bud. On New Years' Day, we did Christmas morning with them. The presents were sent ahead via the postman (hard to fit those in a carry-on!). We all eagerly awaited their arrival, and they finally did arrive on New Years' Eve. Whew!
Boys with boxes...
Merritt is obsessed interested in tornados, and Grandpa put together a booklet of tornado and volcano photos for him. A big hit.
Go Spartans!
Hard to get a photo when presents are present.
Scully Dog passed away this fall. We were happy to gift a painting of her to G & G, as she is deeply missed around the farm.
The boys also got a tornado simulator. Merritt has claimed it as his very own, but he lets us watch. Currently, it is on the laundry room counter, and occasionally I go in there to do something and it is on, which cracks me up. He randomly walks in, creates a tornado, and leaves. Sounds about right.
We also spent a ridiculously fun number of hours playing No Stress Chess. I cannot believe how quickly it got us all playing chess. Meanwhile, Merritt, who has been taking real chess for the past few months, got a chance to beat all of us. Humbling.
