The Rest of the Weekend

With our bellies filled...and filled again...and filled some more, we waddled back to Merkles for the rest of the weekend while Scott and Laura were visiting. We did some shopping, hung some Christmas lights, played some Wii, wrestled, visited, and of course, ate more of the fabulous leftovers (including the infamous "Bobbie" sandwich: turkey, mayo, whole berry cranberry, and stuffing on white bread or a good roll...sounds different and kind of wierd, but trust me, it's delicious!!!). Anyway, lots of fun was had, as always in the Merkle house, aside from listening to Toehead sing his "Pittsburgh's goin' to the Super Bowl" song a thousand times! Man that's a catchy tune!

Uncle Toe and Aunt Laura got this for Lizzie for Christmas, but when they saw her walking all around the house holding just our fingers, they decided to let her open it early. We'll see if she's walking before Christmas. I don't think so, but she might be cruising by then anyway. Thanks for the great gift, guys! And it comes in handy since the one the boys used to learn to walk with got run over by Daddy!!! Oops!
