Every once in a while we realize that we just had a near-perfect day, even if we didn't do anything too unusual. Today started off with a nice, maybe smaller than normal, Christmas party with Cindy's family. The breakfast was easy-going, complete with good conversations, kids opening presents and being chased by the dog.
About three minutes after the party ended, Sarah, her exchange student Sara, David and Daniel showed up to spend the day with us. After a short while, my cousin Diane called and invited Felix to play a pick-up game of soccer with her son Keegan, who is home from college.
Kenzie opted to go grocery shopping and make dinner with the Sarahs, so Cindy and I loaded up all the boys and headed for Mercer Island. This December day the sun decided to come out in perfect time for the soccer game. The little boys played on one side while Felix played up with about twenty college guys. I joined the little boys for a bit, threw the frisbee, kicked the ball, while Cindy took pictures and enjoyed watching the game, including Felix's two goals.
By the time we got home the girls had a great dinner prepared for us. We chatted and laughed at the dinner table. After dinner the chasing and wrestling started. Felix had drawn a picture in Kenzies fashion book of a girls outfit. Sarah told him it was going to go on the blog. It probably wouldn't have but he ripped it out of the book. The girls took out in pursuit of the paper he had crumbled in his hand. The boys worked to defend Felix. Eventually the paper was flushed, but at least I got this picture out of it.
