December 20 This foursome

Friday:  We had such a nice time together today! These four kiddos are truly loved by their grandma. They are delightful little people, and I am so thankful for them.

Aidan had never played my Battle Box game. He found it very amusing!

It's difficult to see him in the picture (below), but he is cracking up (see him in the bottom right corner?).

I don't think I won a single game of Battle Box with any of the children today! They were very good at it!

Little Cal was trying VERY hard to disrupt our games by placing his little fingers on the board to block our shots ...

Aidan is an intense little person. He took this game VERY seriously. But yet ... he still had fun, and he was willing to do some outrageous moves if it made me laugh.

The kids built with magnets for quite awhile too. Here is Erin showing me her pretty flower ...

Isn't Erin's dress so sweet? I love it!

Naturally, we HAD to have ice cream mid-way through our afternoon.

We watched a few "short" videos I had saved to share with them from Twitter. This is one of my favorite things to do with these guys--because they are patient enough to see a 60 second video through until it gets to the funny part and then we all laugh like crazy.

We drove back to their house by about 4:15 and played for a little bit more until Dylan and Kelly returned home. I don't think I actually sat down in a chair for about five hours today, so I was completely tired when I got home. I went to bed at 8:45 and fell asleep until about 6:20 the next morning. I must have needed the rest, so I didn't feel "guilty" about sleeping TEN solid hours.
