Fun Christmas Visit

For Christmas we were able to get away and visit our families on the west side of the state. We are lucky enough that they live about 30 minutes apart, so we were able to bounce back and forth to spend time with both sides of the family. We had fun spending time with Greg's mom and brother just running errands and shopping around Tacoma. We also watched "Hairspray" and made paper cut-out snowflakes. In the evening we played games and also introduced the Wii to his brothers and friends. That made for a good show, as I sat on the couch and watched them try to use the controllers and awkwardly point them at the screen. It's really a new concept to learn that doesn't always come naturally.

Summer's little family came up to visit too, and we got to go to the Zoo Lights with our parents the weekend before Christmas. That was pretty neat to see. The zoo was really lit up a lot with lights on all the vegetation as well as fake animals poised in the trees and bushes. Summer's baby, Ginger, was so cute all bundled up in the stroller. Her eyes were wide with wonder as she looked around at everything.
