A North Carolina Thanksgiving

We came down to North Carolina on Wednesday, November 25th which happens to be Melissa's birthday!!!  It was fun to celebrate and be together.  On Thursday we went to Golden Coral for lunch since we weren't having our Thanksgiving dinner until Friday due to family friends working on Thanksgiving.  Shawn was off both days which was very helpful since Melissa and I went shopping Thursday night.  The kids had a wonderful time playing together and the weather was gorgeous reaching around 70 each day that they got to play outside.  Evan at first wasn't sure about Snowflake, the dog, but he absolutely loves her now and they are best buds.  So much he likes going into her crate to play...see way below.

Preschool Thanksgiving

Kelsey's preschool had a Thanksgiving presentation and snack.  I surprised Kelsey by coming to see it.  Grandpa was there with Evan as well.  Super cute!  

This year                                                                                                           Last Year

  

I love that she is looking right at the camera even in the back row.  I missed everyone smiling forward.  

"Let It Go" Video

Evan loves Kelsey's Elsa doll.  His friend Xander loves it as well even after falling down.  Enjoy....

Annapolis Mall

Granpa took the kids to Annapolis Mall to the play area and then out to lunch at Red Robin last Thursday, November 19th.  I believe everyone had a good time.  See for yourself from their smiles.  

A Visit from Hazel

Hazel came up north with Grandma Wendy to visit. We got to spend some time with them before their flight back. The girls played and Evan tried to get involved. He even asked for a dress, but didn't get the chance to try one on since the girls were so busy. It was great to see them!!!

Disney on Ice

On Friday, October 30 I took Kelsey to see Disney on Ice in Baltimore for a mommy-daughter date night. I found discount tickets on the website Certifikid, if you haven't checked it out you should. We had great seats and a wonderful time. She loved Anna and Elsa and I loved the 20 plus genies skating around. Of course we had our icy treat with a take home cup. Who's in for going to the next one or maybe the circus? She can't wait for either!

Halloween Fun!!!!

This year we got to babysit Owen while Meghan and Dan went to a wedding. We also had NanNan and PopPop with us and our friends Brianna, Zeke, Xander and their aunt Shannon. It was a parade of strollers, kids and adults. The night was a lot of fun!

Sandy Point

Granpa took the kids to Sandy Point State Park on October 22nd.  The kids have loved the sandbox so much he wanted to take them to a big one.  Thanks Granpa for the pictures!!!!  The one below is of Evan on another day with his Leo at the end of naptime.  

Kids of the Kingdom and Park

Below you see the kids who were at the Halloween Kids of the Kingdom program.  Afterward Kelsey and Evan went to the park. They had a great time!!!

Trunk or Treat!!

This weekend was filled with a craft fair, a pumpkin patch, and Trunk or Treat. Grandma had a craft at our fire station on Odenton. She has 4 more coming up. If you need anything just let me know. We then took the kids to pick a pumpkin where Kelsey goes to preschool and on Sunday or church had Trunk or Treat. It was a great family fun weekend!
