We went to Green Bay for Thanksgiving to visit Great Grandma Lucille (as well as other relatives, but of course she's the highlight!). It's a good 5+ hour car ride from O-town to GB. Both boys did exceptionally well! On the way there, we made it just over 3 hours before stopping for lunch. I'm not sure how that happened, but it was awesome.
We were surprised by how many restaurants were closed on Thanksgiving day. You'd think they'd at least stay open through lunch time, but apparently burger-flippers get the entire holiday off. The only place we could find open was a McD's attached to a gas station. Miles has never eaten at McDonald's (interestingly, Tanner is more proud of this than I am) but as you can tell, he loved their chicken nuggets...mostly because he could dip them in honey. In usual Miles style, he talked his way through lunch and ate only a fraction of the food - but all of the honey. That's my boy!
Weston is officially smiling! It took him a while to get the hang of it, but it was worth the wait...
He thinks he's pretty hilarious.
Miles is gearing up for his Christmas program at school. The preschoolers are singing a few old favorites (i.e. Twinkle Twinkle Little Star) as well as some new ones. Here's a preview:
My (bigger) baby boy turned three years old today! Where has the time gone? Wow. We're are grateful for the curious, goofy, chatty, smart, smoochable preschooler that he is right now and are looking forward to a year of the Terrific Three's...they're going to be Terrific, right?!
It's been a full week (or more) of celebrating. The first round of happy birthday-ing took place in St. Peter two weekends ago when Lead Cousin Hannah, Lead Baby Cousin Vivian, Lead Monkey Cousin Owen and Lead Librarian Cousin Ethan were all together (with their mommies and daddies) for a wonderful visit. Miles was lucky to share the party with Auntie Angie, who was getting ready for her *ahem* 21st birthday. Unfortunately I don't have a photo of the big event, as a certain Grandma (who shall remain nameless) never gave me a CD with pictures from the weekend. Rumor has it she gave the prized images to others in the family, though...so CP or ESPD, help me out here.
Back to the birthday talk:
This past Sunday, Miles celebrated his birthday with Grandpa Dave, Grandma Doreen, and Uncle Will. We also celebrated a Packer victory over the Vikes! Wooot wooooot! Obviously Weston isn't the biggest party animal in the family...
Today is Miles' official 3rd birthday. We celebrated with his friends at school. Here they are singing happy birthday to him -
And here he is being goofy with his good pal Myles -
Watch out ladies...this is one cRaZy 3 year old!
Then tonight we opened presents (he got a super cool car backpack and the Chutes & Ladders game), had pancakes for supper, and enjoyed a delicious cake with blue frosting. And Uncle Will showed up again! Life is good!
Happy birthday, buddy boy. Thanks for being born. We love you!
