Spending Time With Summer

My 13th year old niece came to spend time with us for a few days. We had just recently purchased the Kinect so we got to test these games out with her the first night. The next morning my husband made us pancakes for breakfast. After we were all ready to go out we headed to the Summit for some light shopping. She picked up a another book and some items on sale at Bath & Body Works. Had a late lunch at Tazikis. Summer said she have to tell her teacher she had Greek food. Apparently she is learning about different foods in others cultures. Good pick hubby! Afterwards we went to the movies to see Tangled. It was really cute. We had plans to grill stakes out but the weather was not looking favorable for that. It did rain some, but had enough of a break where Michael was able to grill the steak and vegetables. Watched New Year's Eve specials in attempt to remain awake until midnight. Hopefully, is was somewhat eventful for my niece. We had some sparkling cider at the stroke of midnight and then it was bedtime! Saturday was a rainy and cold day so we stayed inside partly because we all slepted the morning away. Move game playing on the Kinect until my sister arrived.
