Game Night + Alex's Photo Shoot!

About a week ago we had our first game night since Lucas' arrival, and it was also the first one at our house. It went really well! We weren't sure how well Alex would deal with being at our house for hours, or how Lucas would do, but it was all good- he loves his sweetpeace swing. I pumped upstairs every few hours, and we all held and fed and changed Lucas, Alex watched his favorite dvd's on our tv, and also played with Susan, who really liked him. The dogs stayed in the crate but were very good and slept most of the night. Norman played with us too--and even took the highest score ever in Citadels (yes, we keep track of all the scores lol) Here is Alex's photo shoot with Susan:



He gets so excited over the squirrel in Ice Age!



Alex brought his magna doodle too! He also liked coloring with crayons with Susan.

It went very well, so we had another one a few nights later, and we made breakfast foods for pre-game dinner:

I dont know how they liked it but Alex sure did! My mom also bought me this donut to sit on to relieve the pressure on my stitches---great idea for the hours of game night:


We are all waiting for John's return so we can play again! Jim + Shawna even bought us a new game we haven't tried yet called "Princes of Florence". But we did learn a new fun one called "Power Grid"--about power plants--so it should be easy for Jim and John right? I have already won twice, Shawna has won multiple times. I think Jim has, but John has yet to :) We always rub it in when someone has never won a game lol. I am sure John can't wait for the next game night to try and change his losing record!
