Basketball & Willy Wonka

North has had some fun adventures this winter. Including playing YMCA basketball with Jack & Nathan and getting to see Willy Wonka with Lincoln, Sam, and mommy. 

Circus!

In early December grandma and grandpa took North & Quorra to the circus!  They had an AMAZING time. 

 

Let it snow!

Bloomington got several inches of snow in early December. North and Quorra loved getting to sled each and every day with their classes. 

Thanksgiving round 2

We celebrated with Nana, Grandad, Connor, Madi, Clay, Uncle Adam, and Aunt Angie the weekend after Thanksgiving.  The kiddos had fun playing with their cousins. 

Gobble gobble

This Thanksgiving we celebrated with grandma, grandpa, Kim, Mike, Nick, and Olivia. We had yummy food, fun times, silly dinner utensils, gingerbread houses, and flashlight hide and seek. And Quorra had her own private dance party.

 

 

Gobble gobble. 

The lighting of the courthouse

Today Bloomington held its annual celebration welcoming the holidays and Santa with hot cocoa, spiced cider, roasted chestnuts, carolers, the lighting of the courthouse, and an appearance by St. Nick himself. Wintery fun times.

After

And the winter fun continued at home. :)

The last of the leaves

Today we finally decided to clear the fallen leaves from our lawn. Before they all made their way to the compost piles in the woods (many of which are now overflowing!- see below) North and Quorra got in 1 last jump. 

Snugly Saturdays

Each Saturday night it seems both kids end up snuggling into our bed for some sleep. I rarely think to snap any photos but did today. 

Push pop

North spent most of the week at grandma and grandpa's (who babysat while he was sick). He got home tonight and we celebrated with dinner and push pops. 

Saturday

Today has been a particularly fun Saturday for North. He had a basketball game with his friends Jack and Nathan, Nana and Grandad showed up, then everyone (including Harrison) came over to play at our house. As soon as everyone went home he dressed up as a ninja.
