Derek and Pam: A Wii Christmas

We had a wonderful Christmas at the Weaver household. I ate way too much, in fact, I am still eating way too much. A dear friend from Alex City made me a red velvet cake that is to die for and I'm not wasting a single bite! Aidan and Asher have reaped the rewards of being good this year and enjoying their presents. Aidan got Star Wars stuff, board games and the Wii while Asher racked up more trains, cars and clothes. Thanks to all the Indiana relatives for the presents. I wish I could tell you that I know exactly who gave what but once the first present was opened and Asher figured out what was going on, it was a free for all. I was all we could do to pry gifts away from him that weren't meant to be opened yet.

My nephew, Spencer, is spending a few days with us. We went bowling yesterday. Which was fun for about 10 minutes. It would have been great if we had the entire rink to ourselves but alas, it was not so. Asher did not quite grasp the idea of "wait your turn" and "only throw the ball down our lane". Luckily, Pops was only a phone call away. After they left, they returned because Asher was not happy to be going with Pops. He bowled a few more minutes but I had to send him packing after he went head first into the gutter. Maybe we'll try again in a few months.

I hope you have a safe New Years and the Weaver family wishes you many blessings for 2009!
