Visit from Suzanne's Family




Saturday-Monday (today), Suzanne's Mom, Grandma, and Sister joined us for Christmas--sub-zero style!! The weather here is extremely, bitterly cold so we tried not to venture out unless necessary. "Necessary" being out to dinner one night and gingerbread house decorating at the local bakery. We played lots of Wii (an early Christmas gift from Grandpa) and as it turns out, Alex is a Mario Kart addict just like his parents!! Of course, Alex had a blast opening all his presents and is looking forward to more Christmas celebrations later this week.

Here's a photo of Alex eager to try on his new CARS flannel PJs. He wanted to put them on right over his clothes!
Alex and Mommy at the bakery decorating a gingerbread house. It was a great deal for Alex--decorating fun and all the candy/toppings he could eat. One on the house, one in his mouth!
Here's Aunt Nicci trying to manage the frosting "glue" with Alex.
The beautiful finished product!

Looks like you had a great time! I'm gonna have to come over and try that Wii sometime :) I'm so glad you're ok after you little spill on the ice.

Nice haul, Alex!

I don't have one, but Elebits is a good wii game, and so is Boom Blox. Both are kid-friendly, fun and adorable.
