Sleepover Hangover, Facepaint, and Theater

Hours before dawn, you two and Brady awoke for part-II of your sleepover. You guys chatted, played, and talked. When the sun rose, you all played some video games, hung out, at some pancakes that I made (5 out of 5 stars, according to Brady!), played outside, got muddy, got clean, and then swabbed the deck!






Then more play time, more fun and more hanging out.



Uncle Jeremy came to pick up Brady, and Aidan, you kindly gave Brady your favorite Toy Story Woody doll you'd had since your 1st birthday. That was so kind of you; you thoughtful, thoughtful guy!

 By mid-morning, you both were already exhausted.


But then you had an idea...facepaint! And you find our guy to do it...me!

You were all smiles before...


and after...






Then you had another idea....paint Daddy's face! So... I said... yes!





Julia, you gave me a snowman...


Aidan...you gave me a smiley face!


Then...you both decided to put on a show! Julia, you grabbed a microphone and a bouquet of flowers. I don't know if you've outgrown the purple curtain theater or not, but since it was so nice outside, this performance was held on our newly made, freshly swabbed, deck/stage!

We had Kiss and Kindergarten Classics, Moana and Gummi Bear. 


After a late sleepover night and early morning with your buddy Brady, even after face painting magic, and a live performance of awesomeness, you guys were a little wiped out. You both fell asleep in the car during errands, though you both deny it. I hope you had sweet car dreams of an awesome morning!

...And any time y'all want to paint my face, you're more than welcome to do so!

Thrilling Sunday

On a grey, rainy, coldish Saturday, we still had fun. But we were all hanging from the rafters a bit: 



To follow it up with a sunny, thrilling Sunday was amazing.

You were both in moods to create:

Lego masterpieces...


Solutions to daunting mazes...

Collages...





Face art...

And you wanted to play and work together:

Bear family:


Giant 100-piece puzzle that you opted to do by yourselves, on your own...and to completion!





and...of course...dancing. Always dancing...



Then we went outside with the dogs...


and with neighbors:






Finally we reunited with old friends (your "old bestie" Lennon and Harrison) for a fun-tastic dinner and yogurt outing.



Just a slice of life in the amazing story of Aidan and the amazing story of Julia. What a thrilling sunday!

XMAS 2018- Family, Fun, Food, Freezing Weather, and Fun!

Your 2018 Holiday Break - and mine- was one for the record books! Molly, Rebekka, and Ross came to visit! Gigi, Pa, and the whole gang came to Dallas! Santa Claus came to our house! We had some cold-ish wintry weather, and lots of singing, and dancing, and fun!


We dumplinged and hung out with Molly and Mimi and Pops and Rebekka and Ross a LOT!














We even aquariumed with them!








Then we Christmas Eved with Yaya, Baba, and Uncle Joe, and Aunt Sham!







We baked cookies and left them out for Santa, along with carrots for his reindeer, and guess what?




On Christmas Morning, after you guys sweetly and very considerately stayed in bed with us until the sun was up, we found out that Santa delivered!

Your wishes and then some were granted!





















And then we packed up for a Christmas Day Feast at Yaya and Baba's!





















We had plenty more fun: We all went to see Coco together, and wrestled, and sewed, and read, and had PJ parties, and made tie-dye shirts, and made corn bread, and made a lot of sweet memories at this, the coldest -and greatest- time of year!

















Ho Ho Ho!
