Aimee and I are back in the great state of Minnesota after visiting my family in Chicago. The weather in Chicago was a warm 45 degrees when we arrived. All of the snow had melted and then it was raining. It did the same thing when we went to Chicago for x-mas 2 years ago. On x-mas there were some flurries so it was kind of a white x-mas. We arrived Friday night which gave us all day Saturday, Sunday & Monday with the family. We had to leave Christmas day because Aimee had to work on Wednesday. BTW do not ever travel on Christmas day. 3 words: Gas Station Sandwiches. Aimee & I hung out with the kids and did some last minute shopping on Saturday. Sunday was football day. We watched the Bears beat the Packers and then later that night the Vikings lose to the Redskins.
The big gift of the weekend for the kids (nieces & nephew) was the Nintendo Wii. Once that gift was opened you couldn't pry ME away from the TV screen. Of course not even 15 minutes into a game of bowling my niece Lexi throws the remote across the room hitting the TV. Classic. She had the remote strap around her wrist but that doesn't do much good if you don't tighten it. The kids were more excited about their American Dolls than the Wii. I told them if they didn't want it that I would be more than happy to take it off of their hands.
We got a nice surprise from old man winter on our way back just past Rochester. Last night I measured 5 inches of snow and another inch today.
Here are a few
pictures from the weekend.
