We love it when Grandma and Grandpa from South Dakota are able to come out for a visit! It's been a long time since we have seen then so we were really looking forward to them coming this week. Unfortunately, they were not able to stay through Thanksgiving but we mad the most of the time that they were here! In addition to his snazzy new hair cut, Spencer had lots of new tricks to show them too! He was pointing out all of the alphabet letters he knows with this toy.
The Halloween costumes have all been tucked away in the closet but they are still accessible. One day, out of the blue, Spencer decided he wanted to wear the giraffe costume - while he had his lunch!
Mommy is the room parent for Brian's classroom. One of her duties is to provide snacks and entertainment for the classroom parties. The first of these parties is happening tomorrow when the class will celebrate their teachers birthday. Mommy came up with a Birthday Bingo game and put together the playing cards while Daddy took care of the building the rest of the game. The evening before the party we all sat down together and played a few games to break it in. Grandpa helped Spencer out a little bit and although Daddy never won a single game (nothing unusual there - Daddy NEVER wins these kinds of games), we all had a lot of fun!
Since I am updating this blog well after Christmas this information is no longer a secret. Grandma, Grandpa, Mommy and the boys headed to our favorite photo studio to have some pictures taken of the boys. The photographers usually get some great shots of the boys and Mommy is intending for those pictures to be a nice surprise gift for Daddy this Christmas. The session with the photographer went wonderful and since we were at the mall, we couldn't pass up spending a little time in the play area. Before we left for lunch at the boys favorite restaurant (the train themed place in Downers Grove called All Aboard), the boys took a couple train rides.
You gotta love the Yorktown Mall - it is VERY child friendly!
This is the year that we spend our Thanksgiving holiday in Illinois which means we didn't have far to travel. Grandma and Grandpa prepared a wonderful spread and it was all set up right across the street! We hope that you and your families all had a safe and happy holiday as well!
