Karl's Dream Day

Life couldn't get any better for Karl yesterday. It started with sledding in the morning, and THEN Matt put together the Star Wars AT-AT that Karl bought using gift cards from his birthday and Christmas.

Just look at this!

Then Karl changed into his Adrian Peterson jersey because there was a Vikings game coming on. Steve and Megan came over to watch the game, but the boys had to take some time to play with the AT-AT first.

Karl has been so excited to watch a Vikings game with Steve, since Steve is as big of a fan as Karl (Matt and I do our best to be good Vikings fans for Karl, but we just can't muster the enthusiasm that Steve and Karl have). Last night Laura even watched the game, but made sure she had a book with her (those who follow our blog know that Laura can only watch sporting events with a book in hand). Poor Megan had to put up with Penelope all evening. Penelope remembers that Megan is a sucker for petting dogs, and she takes full advantage.

Karl showed Steve how to play "Angry Birds."

To cap it all off, the Vikings won! Who would've thought? We think it was the magic of Steve and Karl being in the same room that gave the Vikings all their luck. And since it wasn't a school night, Karl got to stay up and watch the WHOLE game. He went to bed at 10:15. What a rockstar!
