Christmas in... January?

Yeah, I know that I am about a month too late. But everyone loves a little Christmas cheer, right?

We had the pleasure of spending some time up in Victoria with Ben's family this past Christmas. Ben and Lil braved the weather and drove the thousand miles (each way) along with the Booth cousins all the way to Canada. A little bit crazy with a 2 year old? Probably. But we will chalk it up to saving some serious cash and the ability to see new parts of the west coast. Our trip to Canada consisted of eating ( food that we did not have to cook), catching up on some Chick Lit (me), playing  XBox (Ben) and running up and down the hallways of the 'Big House' (Lil, maybe sometimes Ben too). While up north, we also gained a future brother-in-law! Ben's sister Heidi will be marrying her German prince charming this coming June. Lil is pumped to be a flower girl.

January has been... hectic. I think that we are all still feeling the growing pains of our new busier lifestyle, but we are blessed. Life is boring when you just stick to the norm, so we might as well make our brief hours count.

Ben's Birthday Part 2- The XBOX

Today is Ben's official 27th B-Day, he is now officially in his Late 20's. One would think that as a man matures into his adulthood things like video games would not bring joy to his life. For Ben this is absolutely NOT the case. As you can see in the pictures above Ben is showing expressions of pure delight at the unveiling of his favorite gift: the Xbox 360. I have a question for all of you ladies whose husbands indulge in Xbox on a regular basis, what do you do with all the hours (days, nights, weekends) apart from your signficant other?
