Elf (the movie)

Pa — Tue, 27 Dec 2011 12:36:15 +0000

Caleb and Owen seemed to thoroughly enjoy watching Elf with us last evening. I think the adults were enjoying it as well … at least this one was. I think it might get added to our Christmas classics short list.

Aeros Game

Caleb and Owen were great at the game. The weather was ideal and the Aeros won. What more could we ask? Well, we could ask that the King and His Court, a campy comedy act playing mock softball with local amateur players, not be inserted between the real ballgame and the fireworks — a 40 MINUTE long yawn! At 10:30 PM, we decided to head to the car and watch fireworks from the street. The sound was a bit much for Owen, but he recovered fully during the 10 minute drive home. Now we’re hoping they can sleep fast (tomorrow’s only about 20 minutes away). We all had a great time.

Nice Time at Owen’s Fourth Birthday Party

Mike and Jen held Owen’s birthday party at Wingfoot Lake (now a state park). The rains ended just in time (1 day before), and, although it was cool, everyone seem to enjoy being outside and watching Owen, Caleb, and cousins Kate and Anna romp in the park and at the playgrounds.

Visit with Mike, Jenn, Caleb and Owen

We had a great, albeit brief, visit. Mike’s roast cow for dinner, “Despicable Me” with the grandsons, Kewpee burgers, Frontier (Lincoln-like) Logs, and Simon Says. We even learned about Harry S Truman, thanks to Caleb’s thorough research and excellent report writing. Thanks for having us, Mike and Jenn. You have so much to be thankful for and proud of in those boys.
