Christmas tree shopping

We got our tree today. While many of our friends like to cut down their own tree on the farm or out in the woods, we are very much on the other side of that fence! Just this side of having a fake tree, we like to go down the street, point out the one we like, and have someone else wrap it up and put it on top of our car for us. The boys don't know any different and they had fun this morning running around to pick out a tree. 

Thanksgiving

Like millions of other Americans, we traveled last week to see family for Thanksgiving.  The boys were so excited to go to Mimi and Papi's house, that they had been counting down the weeks and days since Halloween.  Really.

However, once we got in the car and started the 3 1/2 hour drive, their faces looked more like this:

Once we got there, they were excited again and thrilled to be playing in their own room with a big boy bed, new bookcase, toys, crayons, superheroes, etc.  They took everything off the shelf and made it into a toy of its own:

They both enjoyed some quiet time with Papi.  Tommy especially loved to show of his iPad skills:

Following the big day we got up early and drove into Boston to visit the Children's Museum.  It was a great place to blow off some steam:

On Saturday we hit up the Pump n' Jump at the mall.  Tons of bouncy castles and an arcade.  SO fun and something we just don't have at home.  The boys loved it:

Back at Mimi and Papi's house, we played hide and go seek and played with Titi and Winston:

Finally, it was time to chill out and have a movie night before heading home in the morning:

Happy Thanksgiving!

Boy Band!

Halloween is Here!

Well, Halloween is ALMOST here, anyway.  We were very busy this weekend with two costume parties and a trip to the aquarium.  It was a superhero's dream come true - we got to meet Captain America in person!  After dressing up like Batman and Robin for the parties, it was a great follow up.

Since Halloween is next week, we finally took our big pumpkins and turned them into jack-o-lanterns.  We think they'll be pretty awesome tonight when we light them up for the first time...

Here is our weekend in pictures:
