Playing with the new toys...

We've only been home a few days but all of the Lego sets have been assembled and most of the toys and games have been played with several times....

Western NY gets much better snow for sledding than MI gets and the kids had tons of fun playing in it!

Getting ready for Christmas with the Lingafelter family

The kids received some new games from their awesome aunt Ange and we spent quite a bit of time playing all of them.   

 

We played a game of memory and Anna was helping papa to remember where everything was.
