Cousins, Christmas, and Casinos

We took Avery to the Magic House, the best children's museum we've ever been to:








Avery gave Curious George a big hug!


Avery got to play with cousin Ava on Christmas Eve. She is only 3 months younger than Avery but they are very different in size (Ava wears a size 18 months, Avery wears a size 5T). They both liked playing with Ava's toys, just not together:



Christmas morning was nice. Avery got a big Ming-Ming toy and another smaller Wonder Pets toy, and he was so happy with both of those gifts that he did not care to open anything else.


Carolyn with her brother Donnie:


We went over to the home of Colleen (Carolyn's cousin) to visit with cousins and their little kids, Zoey and Colin, both of whom are just under 2 years old:


The Cousins/ Mamas: Victoria (Colin's mom), Carolyn, and Colleen (Zoey's mom):


My Xmas gift to Carolyn (but really to us both) was a night away at La Lumiere casino:

At Hubert Keller's Burger Bar -- we skipped the $60 burger (Kobe beef with foie gras and black truffles) but really enjoyed the dessert burgers (chocolate on the left, cheesecake on the right):



While Carolyn and I were enjoying our night away at La Lumiere hotel and casino, Carolyn's cousin Cody, 10, came to spend the night with Avery. He showed Avery how to play Wii!

IS THAT DESSERT BURGER SERVED ON A DONUT?!?!?!

LOL! Yes, the "bun" is like a jelly donut, and the "burger" was chocolate on one and cheesecake on the other. The toppings included a caramel "cheese" slice, strawberry-jelly "ketchup" and candied kiwi "lettuce" slices. There is also a PB & J burger that I want to try when and if we ever go back!
