Grandparent Fun

We had a great visit with Nana and Papa Swoop (Phil's dad and stepmom) this past week. It's always great to see them and Charlene always gives me a really nice break by holding and loving on Emmett and playing with Jackson so much. Phil and I felt bad because we didn't really do very much while they were here, but we had yucky weather most of the week and there's not a ton to do in this town! We enjoyed just being together, though, and we hope they did, too! Here are some things we did do:

We went bowling (twice!)...


We played in the snow for the few hours one morning that we actually had some...


Jackson didn't want to ride on the sled by himself, so we stuck Emmett on there. He was sitting up for the first few minutes, but then flopped onto his back because of his overstuffed snowsuit. He was happy as a clam just lying there and being towed around, so we left him like that. He looked so funny!


Phil had forgotten to ask for New Year's Eve off, so he had to go into work for a few hours. We met him there right before he left...


The four of us also enjoyed a kid-free evening out on New Year's Eve. We ate a late dinner and then made it home to see the ball drop in NYC. Sad to say, but we all went to bed right after that! :)


Thanks for a wonderful Christmas and a fun visit, C & C! We love you!

Those pics of Emmett laying on the sled are hysterical! But he didn't look too happy in the other photos - I think he was thinking, "Can we go back inside now?"
