Wrapping Up 2011

The last couple of days of 2011 were busy and fun. Santa ended up saving the boys' big gifts until the 27th due to a rainy Christmas and our being out of town on the 26th. Ethan scored a fire engine and Andrew's take was a Cars 2 bike.

Later that week, it was off to the Riverbanks Zoo and Gardens.

And finally, the night before Auntie and Grandma Diana left town, we played a lot of Setback and got into a massive Jenga game. 

We ended up stacking the tower as high as possible (with some levels consisting of two blocks, rather than one, or else we could have built the thing even higher).  This was a first for Jon and me.  Grandma Cathy ended up volunteering to knock the thing down when there were no more moves to be had.

So now, of course, it's back to school for all of us. The holidays sure were fun, though, and full of great memories.
