Holiday Visiting, Part 3: Post-Post-Christmas

On New Year's Eve we arrived at our final destination for holiday travels: Red Wing. There we celebrated Andy and Simon's birthdays, New Year's, Christmas with Andy's family (nuclear and extended), and even were able to squeeze in a date night! Fun was had by all, and we returned to the Cities on Sunday with a song in our hearts, food in our bellies, and love in our families...(we've also been listening to Simon's new Raffi cds--can you tell?)

birthday cupcakes!


mmmm...frosting


Simon is starting to understand that there's something under the wrapping paper...


We had a lovely few days with Marilyn, Peter, and Steve--here looking at one of Pete's Christmas gifts


Andy's Mom's family made for quite a crowd--despite all the excitement, new faces, and being awake a full hour and a half later than usual, Simon held it together amazingly well

And, for your entertainment, here's a cute video clip of Simon discovering his "band in a box" gift:
