Christmas Thank You!

We had a lovely Christmas at home. Thanks to everyone who helped to make it great. It was so good to talk to family that day. And thank you all for everything you have given us this Christmas and throughout the whole year. We appreciate everything very much. Thank you so much for investing in and sharing our lives!

Love and hugs from afar!

Pin the hand on the robot

Playing there's a mouse in the house, new birthday game

The "intelligent conversation robot" was quickly named shooter. And he
is a very cool toy. He talks, rolls, dances, tells stories, shoots suction cup
darts, tells the temperature, repeats back what you say in a chipmunk voice,
and more. Definitely a hit!

Robot heads

Robot pinata was defeated! Aaron gathered up handfuls of candy
and kept running them back to his treat can, while Andrew and Alexander
 sat down in the middle of the candy and ate one piece at a time. :)
We evened up the candy distribution a little bit later on.

Robot multiplication

Treat bags

Blast off!

Everybody loves shooter
