End of Christmas

The end of Christmas just happened. :( As did the 4th out of 4 birthday celebrations. I have to say the first three were the best. And Christmas was a bit hectic with two hour long commutes. But it rocked! Michael and Andrew were in town and it is the first time in four years we have celebrated with our childhood tradition of stockings and presents on Christmas morning. The extended family just left from the Thoresons after an awesome dinner of prime rib. There were some cool gifts, some matching pajamas and an epic marshmallow fight. Bridget and I purchased these sweet marshmallow guns from a craft fair in North Carolina. We disassembled the boys guns and wrapped the pieces up and stashed ours fully ready under the sofas. While they were trying to figure out what we had bought and how to assemble, we launched our attack. Alex was a little slow on the uptake and and didn't assemble properly which resulted in him pelting himself in the neck. Hilarious. Andrew took a few hits to the face and jugular and the marshmallows left some nasty welts. We had round two earlier, pelting the unsuspecting younger cousins. We are now closing out the festivities and contemplating whether or not we need to make a liquor store run in order to do this.
