A few favorite memories:
-Lots of late nights playing games -- video games (puzzle fighter) and Ticket to Ride
-Pandora fiending for catnip after MM gave her insane amounts every time he saw her
-Continuing the tradition of giving the brother (and now his bloodline) the most disgusting chocolates we can find
-Eating too much. Night after night after night. Everything homemade and so good.
-Pies a la mode. My mom ate blueberry pie for breakfast, lunch and dinner one day.
-Watching Conan on Youtube - in particular this and this
-Jack was obsessed with the Slender Man video game, but then was too scared to actually play it
-A late night walk through the woods, flashlights in hand, looking for "slender man," and scaring the crap out of Jack
-Hot cocoa and hot mulled cider, and for the adults: spiking drinks with Ron del Barralito
-Excursions to an indoor trampoline place where we could barely jump the full hour (we were exhausted after maybe 30 min). So fun though.
-Astronaut ice cream and the new(er) Air and Space Museum (I was totally impressed, not even a plane person)
-Lounging on our overstuffed chair that we dragged upstairs from the basement, eating stroopwafels.
-Bowling at old-school bowling alleys
-Mom made two new best friends
