Chinese Lantern Exhibit

During the State Fair, Paul took Logan to see the Chinese Lantern Festival.  Sophie was running a fever so she and I missed it.  Just after the fair ended they announced that they were going to stay through the end of the year.  We were able to all go in November and took Grandma too.

 

This dragon is made from dishes and silverware.

These were animatronic dinosaurs that moved and roared.

Thanksgiving

We had lunch with Paul's side of the family and then went to Kelly's for dinner.

Grandpa and Uncle Jack came out to Kelly's for Thanksgiving.  We decided to take the kids to a light display and since dad had his truck we all piled in the back.  The weather was great, just cool enough for coats and a blanket and we got to see all the displays up close.  It was a great evening together as a family.

More About Sophie

• Taking off her shoes:  She takes her shoes off every chance she can.  She prefers barefoot even outside, whether hot or cold.

 

 

• With Logan starting Kindergarten, Sophie had some separation anxiety.  It has been very odd since she was never like that before.

• Fearless/climbs on everything:  She is completely fearless and loves to climb on everything.

• Valentine's Day Goodies

• Hiding whenever daddy comes home:  Both kids love to hide as soon as they hear the garage door opening.  Of course, they can't be quiet and their giggling gives them away.
