Christmas in Plano

After we returned on the Saturday after Christmas, it was time to head over to Mark's parents' house. Mark's brother Clay, his wife, Emily, and their two children, Anna and Ben, were in town from Memphis. We were able to spend Saturday through Thursday with them. We feel very blessed that they are willing and able to take time off to come to Texas to be with us. We wanted to have a "Christmas morning" with them, so we had out Fowler Christmas on Monday, Dec. 29. We spent a lot of time playing Wii sports games. I stomped Mark in Wii golf, which is a rare and unusual occurrence. Emily was also given Wii Fit. So, we all took turns playing that. It really is a lot of fun and does work the muscles. I liked the ski jump the best and did it many times. I could feel it in my calves the next day. On Tuesday night the whole fam came over to our casa and we watched Wall-E on blu-ray on our new widescreen T.V. The T.V. and playstation 3 (blu-ray player) were our gift to each other. If you have not seen that movie, I highly recommend it. It is very endearing! We were very happy to be able to spend time with Mark's family. Thanks for the memories! We love you all!
