Grandma and Grandpa made the long trip from St.Louis to join us for Thanksgiving in Brighton this year. Grandma put Hannah to work right away at making a pumpkin pie.
On Thanksgiving Day, we celebrated Christmas together. It is so much fun to see the kids open the gifts with excitement. Timmy mostly just ripped and ate paper, but Hannah's eyes lit up with glee each time she had a turn to open a present.
Of course, Hannah spent a lot of time in her princess garb. Grandma gave her a crown and tutu for Christmas and I don't think she took them off the whole day.
Timmy loved his activity play table. We're still trying to teach him what it's actually for. Right now he prefers to use it more as a tool as he pushes it around the room to sturdy himself while he cruises.
It is quickly becoming a family tradition to visit Huckleberry Railroad on opening night the day after Thanksgiving. I think this our third year riding the train, walking around the quaint village, and marveling at the fireworks. I think this year's fireworks was the best display I've seen in my entire life. They were beautiful! Hannah covered her ears, but didn't scream for cover like she did last year.
The next day, Hannah and Aunt Lauren made their 2nd annual gingerbread house.
Here's Hannah in another dress up!
She even coerced Grandpa Pete into trying on a few dress ups!
What's that smell, Timmy? Again? Really?
Grandma's enjoying her little rugrats. Can't get enough snuggles with these two cuties!
Playtime with Grandpa Pete!
We had such a wonderful time! It is so hard to say goodbye to family because there are normally several months between visits. It's so hard living long distance from loved ones. But we are thankful for the time we do have together. It is so precious!
We are blessed!
