Dinner on a Snowy Night

Aunt Lucy has arrived in town, and so there have been dinners with family each night. Last night, Susan and Dad came over and we roasted a chicken. The boys showed off some of their Christmas presents, like Cassius's snowboard (which will probably get some use this weekend!) and Maceo's Turing Tumble.

That run had a glitch, but rest assured, Cassius kept working until he solved that puzzle!

The Narrator walks us through the process.

In addition, there has been lots of snuggling and demands of Aunt Lucy's time. 

Just some light reading

The Narrator talks his way through the set up with Lucy nearby as an "audience."

On Saturday, we went to soccer practice. The boys are feeling much more comfortable there now that they know their coaches' names and the various drills. Once the game started (with Maceo planted firmly in goal), the blob of children following a ball around was highly amusing, and amazingly, Cassius put two balls past his older brother! (However, during a water break, Maceo whispered in my ear that he was "taking it easy" because he's the biggest.)

 After quiet time, we made our way through the newly falling snow to Mamy and Maurice's house for dinner. There were presents to open,

Maceo is somewhat of a cookie expert.

 people to snuggle,

and books to read. 

Cassius was a little averse to the picture taking process.

Tomorrow, we get to introduce Lucy to the world of Pokemon as Maceo has his Pokemon club to attend, and perhaps we will get some sledding and snowboarding in as it's supposed to snow all night tonight and all day tomorrow!
