Santa 2010

This year we reached a milestone. Neither boy even hesitated when it was time to sit on Santa’s lap! Sean, however, was having issues with his sleeves and insisted we roll them up really far!

Build-a-Bear

While Mimi and Papa were here we went to Build-a-Bear so Sean could use his birthday gift cards. Ian decided to take some of his spending money so he could get a bear also. They had a great time!

Sean’s New Bike

Sean used his birthday money to buy a new bike. He chose a Toy Story bike and thoroughly enjoyed trying it out!

The Parade of Trees

While Mimi and Papa were here we were able to go to the Hyatt downtown and see the Parade of Trees. The trees were beautiful, and we had a wonderful time looking at them!

Lowe’s Train Project

Ian and Sean always enjoy doing the projects at Lowe’s, but this Christmas was especially exciting! They are working on building a train. The first week they built the caboose, and Papa was there to help.

Sean’s 4th Birthday

I can’t believe our baby is already 4! This was the first year that both sets of grandparents were able to be here for his birthday. We had a Toy Story theme, and Sean was especially excited to get Woody and Buzz!

School Fall Party

Ian’s class had a fun party right before Thanksgiving. He enjoyed dressing up as an Indian again this year. The students rotated through four activities. They decorated a pilgrim’s hat made out of a cookie topped with a marshmallow and then dipped in chocolate. They also made Indian corn with a cookie, frosting, Reese’s Pieces, and a fruit roll-up. The craft was a turkey made out of thumbprints, and then they played a game. One student had to give directions to a blindfolded student to help him find the New World. The kids all had a great time, and even Sean got to go!
