Christmas in April!!

For Christmas the Swensons gave us each gift cards, and it has taken us this long to decide how to spend them. Bryce finally decided that he wanted a Wii and Mario Cart game to go along with it. I chose to get a new comforter that we desperatly need for our bed, the one that I wanted was at Bed Bath & Beyond and becuase we live in Kirksville I have not been able to get it. So this past weekend we went to Quincy Illinois with Justin and Emily, and stopped at TJ MAXX!!!! I love that store, I found a comforter that I absolutely love for so much less than anything at Bed Bath & Beyond. Bryce was also excited because it was so much cheaper he had more money to spend on getting stuff for his Wii. I have to admit that I was hesitant about getting a Wii becuase its so much money, but I do love having it, we played it all day yesterday.

P.S. one of our scores at bowling was Cassi:214 Bryce:174.... I ROCK!!!!

Thanks Nola and Reed, we love our presents!!!
Lets just hope that Bryce can put Mario Cart away long enough to study his microbiology thats sitting right in front of him in this picture!!!

Happy Easter

Yesterday Bryce and I decorated Easter eggs to put into our baskets. We each picked out surprises for our baskets and hid them last night so we had to find them this morning. It was so fun to start this tradition together. We miss our families, but we tried to make the best of being away.
