After opening presents and eating crispy steaks from the grill (Camm needs a timer and meat thermometer for Mother's Day!), we packed into the addition for some Wii challenges. Carrie and I went head to head on Just Dance, with both of us winning several rounds. Caroline challenged Carrie on a couple of songs, and when we decided that we were sweaty enough, Carrie and Caroline played Mario Bros. until almost bedtime.
We are running around Fredericksburg today (Emily has a flu shot booster scheduled for this PM), and then it's off to Virginia Beach tomorrow for a day trip to see Aunt Jill and the cousins!
Caroline is wearing the scarf I made her for Christmas. Carrie loved it and said "I want a scarf too!", which was right before I handed her her very own scarf too!
Emily had a lot of fun taking everything out of Carrie's suitcase. Here she is pulling on the string around a shirt (she's not actually punching Carrie in the eye--just looks odd in the picture!)
Carrie (in new scarf!) and Emily 
Emily got a new puzzle, a book, and some clothes! 
Garrett is reading the present we got for Carrie--a photo book called "Awkward Family Photos". It is hilarious!
Carrie got Timmy a 1950's children's book called "Busy Timmy"! Timmy read it to Emily, and the older kids had fun looking at the pictures and reading the old fashioned text (I mean, who rides their pony stick around the yard anymore, really?!)
The big finale! Carrie spent months making us a quilt! I have displayed it (with all of its hand stitched glory) in the living room.
CJ was not left out! Carrie made her a doll-sized quilt and Caroline got Pepper, an American Girl doll puppy!
