Christmasy Fun with Levi

Lewis made up a new way to play with the Christmas sensory bin and everyone is putting their own spin on it. 









The play kitchen is very Christmasy this year!


Levi tried a new food and liked it!!! Walnut and raisin bread. 
We found some Christmas town buildings that go perfectly with his mini trucks. He plays for hours with them. 

St. Nicholas Stopped By

An Advent Adventure

We spent the weekend at Beth’s house for fun! We played with sorted Playmobil to relive childhood. 

Read all the comic books 

Had donuts for breakfast 

Went to a Christmas Market in a barn (fuuunnna!)

Went to another Christmasy market! This one was straight out of Europe…pure magic. 







They were selling all kinds of super expensive Christmasy European things. I wanted one of everything. 








The train track above would have been more impressive if they didn’t see that every time they go to the dentist. 





Two real reindeer!





Then we went to Lakeshore Learning. The boys have only ever drooled over the magazines that come in the mail. It was SO FUN taking them to a store full.to.the.brim. with toys they’ve wanted for years. And most products have a sample open to play with! We left with a lot of stocking stuffers. 

We also had lunch at Schlotzkys, but we were all too exhausted and hungry for a picture. 

Then we went back to Beth’s to relax before heading home. 





Oh, and Beth had to ride Levi’s bus. A lot. 

Thanksgiving 2022

We all had influenza. It’s wasn’t fun, but we did what we could to celebrate. 

Turkey dinner rolls 

A full thanksgiving feast. 

Quiet time

Caramel apple parfaits 

Grandma Susan’s nut bread

And lots of movies and naps. 

Just one smile…please?

What we went through to get Levi to smile…Oy. I wish I could find the picture of Augustine and Lewis in these shirts but it is nowhere. Oh well. These two are cute matching brothers as well!
