First video game (that Mom actually put money into).

Andrew did the smaller slide by himself, but kept going back to the big slide, which meant I kept going back to the big slide. By the end of the afternoon Andrew did go down the big slide by himself, which meant I went down by myself since we went up together.

Playgroup event - Bounce U. Michael had tons of fun. Andrew had tons of fun - after he got Mom to slide down the big slide with him. Mom liked some of the others better - like the tee ball one. I was very proud of Michael for climbing up the levels and going down the slide all by himself, since I don't know if I could climb up it myself (especially with Andrew holding on or crying on the bottom.)

Our neighborhood had a Christmas tree lighting - with folks singing carols and the animals from the nativity and hot cocoa and a family craft. Very fun - but very cold - and we were just getting better so we only stayed a little while.

Not sure what we think of oatmeal...maybe ok some of the time. Yes that is Andrew's Wii remote next to him.

Andrew was sick - he got a chest xray - all is fine - and needed a nebulizer for some medicine. Michael wanted his turn since it was so cute. Andrew didn't love it but it did help. Everyone is all better.

This was the Thanksgiving party craft - turkey hats - cute!!

Boys resting in their dinosaur pjs.

Michael makes pizza at the Young Chef Academy with his playgroup friends. Yummy pizza!! Poor Andrew was starting to get sick so he slept through the class.

Dessert - homemade apple pie and pumpkin cream cake.

Later that day the boys showed Uncle Thomas their baseball and fencing skills.

Then to see the tree and take more pictures. Andrew thinks the tree is very tall.

After sitting through lunch the boys were ready to walk around. We went to see the dancing bears. Not too cold outside since the boys don't have jackets.

Food was great!!! All the traditional dishes - turkey, stuffing, veggies plus salmon, fried chicken, pork, beef....yum!!

Thanksgiving out at the restaurant
