Today was a busy day. This morning I took Joshua to soccer. On the way home we needed to pick up some cocktail sauce for the appetizer we needed for tonight. Joshua enjoyed carrying it through the store. He also enjoyed me foolishly letting him hold it in his car seat while we drove to our next stop. It was closed and sealed, so I thought it would be fine. But soon I smelled the pungent scent of cocktail sauce, and I knew I had a problem on my hands. Well, not so much on my hands, but all over his car seat, which through the cleaning process ended up being on my hands I suppose. We then went home, and since Clara and Hannah were still with Mom and Ron, Meghan and Joshua and I went to lunch at Chili's. Joshua chowed down on some mac 'n cheese.
We still have some ice on our driveway, and since the weather was a little warmer today, I wanted to try to get rid of some of it while it was easier to scrape away before it refroze. I used my snow shovel, and I invited Joshua out to use his new snow shovel that he got for Christmas. He immediately went for the remaining snow pile in front of our house and went to work transferring snow randomly around the pile.
In the evening we went to Julie and Andrew's for Christmas with my Dad and Deb, my siblings, and our families. Here Dad spends some quality time with the girls.
We had a really fun evening. We had great food, and we all somehow managed to cram around a single table without feeling cramped. Meghan then had to take the kids home to get them in bed, but I stayed to continue the festivities. K-State's played in the Buffalo Wild Wings Bowl tonight, though it had a really late start. Thanks to some technological workarounds, we were able to watch it on the TV, even though Julie and Andrew don't have cable. K-State beat Michigan handily, capping a season that started poorly but ended quite well. During and after that we played games, including a baseball trivia game and a fun game called TriBond. We don't get to see Dad and Deb all that often, so it was really great to get to spend time with them, and it was all-around a really fun day.
