Boston Children's Science Museum

By far the coolest Science museum, ever. Ever. We could have spent a year there. EVERYTHING was hands-on and experimental.

While we were downtown Boston, we also went to Freedom Trail and Fenway.

Boston-Cont'd

Aaron and Reghan and Belle came from NYC to visit in Boston as well! We just needed Grant and Jonny with us! Then all the siblings would have been together. It was a great Thanksgiving. There's a lot to be grateful for this year.

Boston-cont'd

During the Thanksgiving holiday in Boston we took many walks in the streets of Needham. It's an adorable quaint little city. The kids had a blast together.

Boston Trip

This Thanksgiving we had the awesome opportunity to go visit my brother Christian in Boston. It was great seeing his sweet wife Jodi, and my nephews Brigg, Jax and hold sweet sweet Stella.

While we were there we were able to tour Plymouth Plantation (thanks Jodi!). Very cool! We saw Plymouth Rock-which is just that, a small rock, and climbed on the Mayflower. The kids loved it!! There were the Indian and Pilgrim Villages and you could ask questions and the actors stayed in true character. Uncle Chip of course asked questions just ridiculous enough to hope they'd break character, but the actors did great. We ended the day in Plymouth at the Roast Beef House for a hot roast beef sandwich. Great day with Uncle Chip and kids!

Grizzly Cheerleading Competition

Ash won Grizzly Girl Award at Battlefield High School Cheerleading Grizzly Day. They had a great routine to a Lady Gaga song and Ash cheered her little heart out!!! Congrats Ash. It was great seeing you have so much fun!

GO GRIZZLIES!!!!

End of Season Party

End of Football Cheerleading Season! Being Cheerleading Team Mom, I must admit I was a little relieved when the season came to a close. But it was a lot of fun, friendships were made and trophies were handed out! GO GRIZZLIES!!!!

Surprises

Today in the mail, came a package from Grandma and Pop. There was a cool John Cena Wrestling shirt which made Austin get in the spirit of WWE and pile drive Ash. There was also a red sequin dress for Ash and she trotted around like she owned the place. Isn't it funny how even young kids can act the part and fit the social aspect of clothing?

We also received a surprise visit from my dear friend Gabe as we were setting up our tree one night! An early birthday present.

I love surprises!!

Austin's 9th Birthday was a hit. His buds Cameron, Rahul, Dylan, Grant and Evan were his buds in attendance.

Games like Punch the Piñata, Bingo, a Scavenger Hunt with teams and of course cake and pizza. Happy 9th Birthday buddy!!!

The DATE

Ash's best little friend Gavin had his 6th birthday and for his birthday asked Ashley out on a formal "DATE". A date to the movies (Puss in Boots) and Zinga for dessert. With complete with proper phone etiquette. Ash was thrilled and responded with an "I'd love to!" and ran upstairs to lay out her outfit for the date a few days away. These 2 kids have been attached at the hip since birth and I would be a proud mama if one day they ended up together for good! For now, these 6 year old sweethearts will continue to play together at recess, church and playdates. I'll cross my fingers.
