Puzzles

Gray is getting really into puzzles

He spent the day at Momo's and she had a Thomas the train puzzle which of course he loved!

She let him take it home to practice it, which he isn't too bad already...

So we have put this together many times since yesterday

I am proud of how well he does it by himself..guess we are going to need to hunt down some more Thomas puzzles

Visiting with the Slonims

Gray and I got to head over and see the Slonim family one more time before they headed out of town..

Sawyer was a little under the weather, which was a bummer but it was still fun to see them, even if it was a short visit.







How cute are these two :)


Oh Coops...what a sweetie..

I am going to miss my friend and her family ;(

I hope to see you sooner rather than later!

This time in sunny FL!

Holiday Gathering with Friends

Quite a few friends were in town, so we all gathered this evening with our kids at the Edgewater..

We have come along way since high school!

Cooper, tuckered out and ready to head home

Gray and Guillia playing before we headed out the door

We wished everyone lived closer, it would be so much fun to have our kids grow up together. We know they would all have so much fun..maybe too much fun :)

Everyone had a FANTASTIC time!

Sledding!

Sledding here we come!

Henry had to go home, he wasn't feeling good :(

But the rest of us got bundled up and hit the hill

First up Jordan and Gray



That didn't work so well..

Uncle Andrew and Jack getting ready to head down the hill (Jack has never does this before so let's see how it goes!)






After that run Jack said he wasn't going again..well at least we got him down once :)

Now it's Gray's turn



Then just Andrew..neither boy wanted to sled down with him this time around



Jordan and Jack heading up the hill



Gray waiting at the top of the hill for a sled



Instead of Gray going down by himself he wanted me to go with him..so here we are



After we all had enough of the sledding, we tried making snow angels

Gray trying to get going, but got stuck in the snow instead



Jordan sort of doing one, even though eh wouldn't move his arms and legs

Gray still stuck :)

Andrew making a snow angel

Gray attempting to make his first snow angel

not sure he liked doing that...can't tell from his face

Gray decided he wanted to go swing...why not with 2 feet of snow on the ground :)

All in all we had a GREAT time outside. It didn't last long as it was cold and wet out! So we headed in for some hot apple cider
