Opa and Oma Visit For Chrismas

Posted on Friday, December 25, 2015 by Laura

Oma and Opa came to visit this Christmas and we had fun with them while they were here. We played around in our new cul de sac including AJ skateboarding with the kids. We went to Northwest River Park for a hike. We went puddle jumping and sightseeing at the NBG. We had a chilly day at the beach, and Alex ate his fill of sand. The kids opened Christmas Eve gifts of pajamas and training chopsticks for Brooke because our family tradition is to have Chinese food on Christmas Eve. On Christmas Day, everyone had fun opening presents and we all enjoyed a good meal.

Oma and Opa Visit

Posted on Thursday, April 23, 2015 by Laura

Oma and Opa came to visit and celebrate my birthday with me. We had a great time with them as always and had a couple of fun firsts for Alex. Both kids got new carseats: Brooke got two fancy new booster seats and Alex got moved up to Brooke’s old convertible car seats. We had a picnic at the Norfolk Botanical Gardens and little french boy Brooke played in the water which we didn’t know was turned on yet. Alex had his first experience at the beach including eating some sand. Oma and Opa took Brooke to the park to play and swing while I took Alex to the grocery store and he got to sit in the cart for the first time. We also had a lot of fun around the house. It was a good and busy visit.

Oma came for an impromptu visit and go a chance to enjoy our winter weather with Brooke and Alex. We stayed safe and warm and eventually got to venture out to the library and bounce house to keep Brooke from being too stir crazy from being snowed in!

Christmas 2014

Posted on Thursday, December 25, 2014 by Laura

This holiday season was a fun one because Brooke is old enough to have some idea of what is going on and learned about all the fun traditions of Christmas. It was also Alex’s first Christmas. We had Ammy and Papa visit us this week and they had a lot of fun playing with Brooke and Alex. On Christmas Eve we went to see Christmas lights and then set out Spritzgebäck cookies and milk for Santa. Then everyone had fun opening gifts on Christmas morning and enjoyed a Christmas dinner.
