Once we had both Grandma and Grandpa here, the fun got even funner!
We did art projects every day.
Grandma took Tanner to the library. And Grandpa went shopping with me to help me stock up our food storage.
We (me and Dad) organized the entire storage room together.
We watched TV.
Grandma and Grandpa brought a special surprise for the boys. Camping toys, tent and sleeping bag! Tanner was THRILLED.
Once any of us got in the tent with Tanner, he wouldn't let us leave. I'm not joking, he keeps you in there for an hour or more.
Nana made this sleeping bag.
We put Dallin on the ground because he was wiggly and eager to move.
He was so happy about it.
And he made some headway with almost crawling and trying to climb.
Bowling was really good for Tanner because it made him learn how to wait a while for his turns. He was so strong holding the ball on his own.
While we were bowling, we had to let the house air out because of carbon monoxide issues. (The exhaust vent for the water heater was clogged with bird's nests, making our home fill up with carbon monoxide. I'm very glad we finally figured out why our detectors kept going off!) So anyway, when we came home, the house was 33 degrees INside, so we cuddled up next to the fire while the place heated up again.
Look at this cutie! (don't worry, these were taken when the house was a normal, warm temperature).
The grandparents got lots of play time in with the boys.
The big feast!
Dad did the turkey, Mom made pie and autumn casserole and cranberry sauce, I did the salad and green beans and fruit turkey, and Jeremy did...wait. What did Jeremy do? "I spent a lot of time putting water and ice in those glasses!" The punk. He got away Scot-free.
Tanner was still napping when we started eating. He was pretty cranky when he woke up and did not want anything to do with Thanksgiving dinner.
Great nap after a great meal.
Grandpa Papa made Tanner a picturebook of all the times they have been together. Tanner loves it.
Random shots
Dallin tried and tried to crawl. He would get on all fours from sitting position, then lift his arms and reach forward, then fall on his face.
Tanner sometimes breastfeeds his toy baby.
Dance party!
Main Street Festivities
On the day after Thanksgiving, the town kicks off the Christmas season by having a sort of street fair. There was horse drawn carriages, mini train ride, and fire truck. Every shop was open with free goodies like hot chocolate, cookies, cider, arts&crafts and face paint.
Grandpa and Dallin were buddies most of the night.
Our Baby Gnome
We ate at the Pizza Ranch after the street fair.
Getting some more play in before the grandparents leave.
Look at this Christmas table cloth Mom quilted for me!
We had so much to be grateful for on this holiday!
Thank you for being with us for Thanksgiving, Grandma Nana and Grandpa Papa! We miss you and love you!!
