Day After Christmas

The day after Christmas is always a little depressing. You spend all of this time getting ready for and anticipating the big day, and then it comes and you enjoy it. And then it's the next day. You can only lounge around and eat for so long. (Well, my family can. I suspect my brothers could make a career of it!)

The fact that it poured rain pretty much ALL DAY LONG did not help matters. It was fairly warm outside, but so very wet. So we decided to go play a round of Monster Mini Golf. It was kind of crowded and playing with 4 kids didn't do anything to speed things up! Still, I think we all had fun. (Well, not Josh. He kept trying to cheat. And he'd get mad every time he messed up. Blergh. That kid has a long road ahead of him because he thinks everything in life is So Unfair.)

Tess was awesome because she would take one hit at each hole and then pick up her ball and wait for the rest of us, which means she scored an 18, right?!

Uncle Kevin's first time at Monster Mini Golf. I'm sure it was everything he hoped it would be!

Cole had been waiting forever to go golfing, so he was in heaven!

That night we were supposed to have Papa Murphy's for dinner, but since the oven was broken we had Papa John's instead. Then we taught the Ropers a thing or two about Madsen Garbage.

It was fun although a little painful every time Cole had to count out a high number of pennies.
