Today we prepared our home for tomorrow’s guests. After all that work we invited the grandparents to join us for our Advent celebration and dinner. Eric wrote a beautiful advent celebration with some of our favorite songs a few years ago. It was a great time! For dinner, we had split pea soup in bread bowls – yum!!
After dinner, the kids got to open gifts from Gma & Gpa Osborn – jeans and t shirts (they are getting old enough to appreciate clothes!) for the boys and boots and tights for Sissy. And, Eric got a couple of pewter goblets that he has been admiring for awhile! 😀
Then after our computer (oops – make that “company” – it was late, I was tired) left we brought out the Wii!! They knew it was coming but we were all still really anticipating it! We all created Miis and then Eric kicked my butt at bowling, the boys played baseball, boxed and now are playing golf! :) Tomorrow they will get three more games but for now they are really enjoying these simpler games! I’m so glad we made this investment! 🙂
Christmas day the Osborn’s are coming for dinner and then the day after Christmas we are traveling to my Sister’s house for our Christmas. My cousin, Cindy and her daughter Amber are coming up to join us! Looking forward to seeing them again!
Gotta go and see if I can get a turn! 🙂
YOur computer left? What DID you do to offend it?!
I am sooo glad to hear your computer did NOT leave you! How would I ping your for help if that happened?
Sounds like you had a nice time! … We are hoping to get a Wii next Christmas. We were going to do it this year, but then when the boys started asking for bowling balls, we did that instead (and found something nice for the girls)… We couldn’t afford both bowling balls and a Wii! *lol*
