Saturday Play Date

This past Saturday, we were invited to go out with a few of our friends for a play date. We started the morning at Pipsqueaks, an indoor play area at the United Way, and then moved on to McDonalds for lunch and some more play at their play area.


As usual, Gabe liked driving around the "cop man car".


Claire also found a car of her own that was her favorite color...pink.



Gabe got brave and decided to ride the roller coaster just like he would at an amusement park...with no hands.

If we ever wanted to find Elias, he was usually found trying to climb a slide.

"Look how high I am"

After lunch, Claire was too scared to go into the Playplace at McDonald's so she sat outside and built things with Duplo blocks.


Gabe didn't want his picture taken. He just wanted to go back in and play.

Claire would wait at the bottom of the slide for her brother to come down. Then she would do a little dance when he appeared.



Claire eventually got brave enough to venture into the bottom of the tower they had.

Gabe was always on the move. He could have played there all day.

Christmas in EP

We spent Christmas Eve and Christmas Day in EP with Mom's side of the family. They had just gotten a new puppy that is very photogenic.



After Christmas at our house, Claire got the idea of how to open a present.





I just had to include this picture since Ryan looks so amusing.
