Cousins!

Megan, Joe, Christian and Jackson came for a visit this weekend and the kids had loads of fun playing!  Christian and Josh played with Legos for a good part of the weekend, especially the set with the gears and the zip line!


 The kids also enjoyed checking out the butterfly we're raising



Megan made Jackson a Lego helicopter, which he loved but crashed constantly, and then kept begging people to put it back together, lol!


Josh was good about helping him, he loves building stuff!

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....

Sledding in NY

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