Thanksgiving Recap

We hope everyone has recovered from their Turkey Comas! We had so much fun and were so busy. Here is a quick recap of what we did this weekend.

Wed night we went to Nana and Grandad's house, we got there at 9 and everyone was already asleep. Mommy and Daddy attempted to get us to join the club but that just didn't happen. We were so excited about Thanksgiving that we were practically up the whole night, Mommy and Daddy must have been so excited as well cause they stayed up with us. Thanksgiving morning we hung out with Nana, Grandad, Great Uncles Greg and Chris, their daughters and Kerri while Mommy. Aunt CoCo, Uncle Todd and Uncle Steve went to run a 5k..... Daddy was supposed to join them but he had SO much fun the night before he went back to bed once Nana woke up. We were bored with our entertainment... and a little tired from our all-nighter, so we took an early nap.

After we woke up we spent the day playing with everyone. Miss Sara and Mr. Justin brought Mason over for dinner so we all got to play together. There were 6 kids under the age of 5 there. (1 almost 5 year old, 3 2 year olds, 1 1 year old and a 5 month old) We had so much fun chasing after each other.

Here is Mason contemplating what to do to Kerri

While we played upstairs the grown ups worked on dinner and setting the table.

Finally we all got to sit down and enjoy the yummy food!

So after about 15 minutes of eating the adults were still talking and eating so Mommy put Elmo's World on and we were confined to a mini-baby jail.

The next day we went over the river and through the woods..... and over a mountain... and through some snow... and stuck in traffic.... and had an emergency of the upchuck variety..... anyways... we were on our way to Grandma and Grandpap's house for the remainder of the weekend.

SNOW!

We got to Grandma and Grandpap's house fairly late, but the next morning we were up and moving and running around every where. We put our big jackets on and went outside and met their neighbors puppy "Chloe". She was so excited to see us.

Aunt Heidi came to visit as well and we all had lunch together. The weekend went by so fast and before we knew it we were back in the car heading home. Luckily there was no snow, or traffic or emergency of the upchuck variety.


So tired!

Thats all the pictures we have but other people took photos so when we get them we will post them as well.

Hope every one had a great weekend!

P/T Update

We promise pictures of our newly painted bathroom are coming. M/D are taking their sweet time putting it back together. They will be posted as soon as we can get them.

In other news Today our favorite P/Ter came and worked with us. We made a lot of progress. Nate decided he needed to show off and stood up for over 30 seconds at a time without hanging on to anything. Alex is getting better about sitting up from the laying down position, he just doesn't understand why he needs to do that if he is perfectly comfortable playing on his tummy, back and knees. He is however getting much better at really crawling.

Alex threw up on Mommy today. So they both had to shower and get a fresh change of clothes.. than Mommy had to do the floors in our play area and some of our toys. But he felt much better... he just ate a little too much.

That's about all for now. Time to go do some more playing!

It's a twister, It's a twister!

Boy you guys... there was a storm brewing last night. Nana called because there were tornadoes down by her and very strong winds (so strong that our Mommy's good friend Miss Becca's mommy's house had a tree fall on it and land on their bed... luckily everyone was at work!) We were sleeping through most of it, but when we woke up we got to play in the basement and watch Sesame Street and try to get into Mommy's baking supplies. What fun! Yesterday was Daddy's birthday, he is 29.... That's OLD!!!!! We got him a shaved ice machine and lots of flavors of syrup, M/D were enjoying their ice.. but we didn't get any... too bad they waited till we were asleep... they always do the fun things after we go to bed. We also got him cards, they tasted pretty good.

Today Mommy has a lot of stuff she needs to do, so we started the day off right. We woke her up early with lots of whining and fussing downstairs instead of letting her sleep in. Then while she was trying to get some important emails out Nate stood at the gate and threw up breakfast.... yay for gag reflexes!! Then the first time this morning we went into our cribs Alex threw up and needed a bath and new sheet. He probably drank too much milk too fast. We are getting tired now, time for our morning nap... this baby thing is hard work!

We have a busy weekend coming up. Today Mommy is starting to make the cake for Grandma and Grandpap's retirement party this weekend (she showed us the picture... it's going to be SWEEEET! ) plus she has some guard auditions, and tomorrow Miss Katie and Mr. Ben are stopping by the morning to play with us before the head up to Hershey to do some wedding stuff, then its of to Grandma and Grandpap's house for the weekend for the retirement party. We are debating still if we are going to sleep in the car, we will let you know when we get back from the weekend.

Mommy's coming to take us upstairs... gotta go!
