Before we can indulge in all the Christmas merriments awaiting us in Utah we had to celebrate with our California family! We enjoyed a sharp-kiss-to-your-fingertips-good Italian dinner made by none other than Uncle Dave, decorated sugar cookies and played Blokus. Little Aaron is the reigning champion of the family, even against McKay, who is usually the champion of board games.
He always has this adorable little smile on his face while playing. It's like you can see the wheels turning in his brain.
Aaron is such a brilliant child. He can solve multiple-digit addition and subtraction in his head faster than most adults, and definitely faster than right-brained Marielle here! He is going to become a famous scientist or mathematician one day and make many great discoveries.
Below is Kimball with his gingerbread zombie which I think I will be doing for next years Halloween!
As always, it was an adventure figuring out how to escape the children's many attempts to make McKay stay forever.
It was quite the ordeal, but we eventually got out and it's a good thing we got out when we did because we finished our Christmas shopping...
...got everything wrapped,
...and made our way to Utah very early (again). McKay tried to catch up on a little sleep while waiting for our plane...
...but it didn't work so well, so he crashed as soon as we got to Utah anyways, but at least we are here now and happy!
Sweet Dreams!
