Baby Come Back!


The last few weeks have been delightful having my favorite sister visit. We finally had to send her back, but she left behind some mighty fun memories:
  • playing Farkle
  • ordering ketchup from Sonic, with extra ketchup and a side of ketchup (OK, we didn't actually do this, but we were *this* close)
  • sledding on campus
  • sledding off campus
  • playing Wise and Otherwise (Go Banana Slugs!) and Apples to Apples
  • bean dip
  • being snowbound
  • watching movies together (Avatar, Terminator 2,3 and 4)
  • eating more bean dip
  • playing Poptropica with Master Munchkin
  • attending the Munchkin's Christmas concert
  • hunting for treasures at the consignment store
  • being despised and rejected by Borders (who knew they closed at 7pm on New Year's Eve?!)
  • watching deer walk by just outside the window
  • watching Star Trek Enterprise, Firefly and MacGyver reruns
  • the 12 Days of Christmas Dinner
  • the country music countdown
  • kickboxing
  • morning wakeup calls from the the cats, Munchkins, and/or Trooper
  • the checkout lady at the grocery store mistaking Rene for one of my children
We miss you already, Rene. Come back soon!

I miss all of you too!! That's a great list. I'm so glad you took the time to write that down. You know my bad memory...now I can go back and read them and smile anytime!

The fact that you love your sister so much shines through whenever you post about her. What a special relationship!

HAPPY NEW YEAR!

Sister are indeed special, what a cutie she is! I wouldn't want to let her go either. :)

Awwww, how sweet. I have 5 brothers, I totally don't understand, but wish I did, haha. Just got caught up (been busy the past few weeks). I would love to be invited to the Grandma Got Run Over By a Reindeer dinner next year! Too funny!

Happy New Year!

The 12 Days of Christmas dinner is a brilliant idea! I'm really wondering about Grandma's dinner though.
Glad you had another incredible visit with you sister. Hope she drops by again soon.
