spoiled rotten

…seriously.

I think Jack is on Christmas overload after this past weekend with Grammy, Gpa Dale, Uncle Heath, Pappaw and Nana Knowling and Aunt Kitten.

He is a combination of SAD that he is back home and not having all that fun, and worn out from all of the SPOILAGE (and very few naps)!

We had a great time in Indiana, and though it was a quick long weekend trip, we got some great quality time with everyone in.

playing in the snow at Grammys – such a nice boy, he helped dig out their 80 year old neighbor’s sidewalk – the boy LOVES a good shovel!

Emma is fascinated by all of the pretty wrappings – do you SEE that pile of gifts?  80% were for two little kids…

fun with Daddy 

we brought out Uncle Heath’s old Lincoln Logs 

Jack and Emma were both obsessed with Uncle Heath – Jack couldn’t get enough

  good family shot

with their “Sing-A-Ma-Jigs” from Uncle Heath

Hundreds of $$ spent, and what does Jack proclaim is his favorite gift?  a $1 whistle…go figure. 

THANK YOU so much to everyone for their extreme generosity towards all of us, but especially Jack and Emma – they LOVE all of their new toys and we all thank you for fun things to play with inside during these dreaded Chicago months to come!

annual Green Wreaths with Nana and Kitten (my favorite!) 

…and suddenly my little sister is a TWEEN 

Emma, I think you have something on your face…

so excited about his Lightening McQueen Laptop! 

and Emma loves her new train from Pappaw! 

 

More fun continues with SANTA visits this week and then on to Libertyville to celebrate all next week with the Walti’s…I LOVE THIS TIME OF YEAR!

…I cannot wait to see the look on Jack’s face Christmas morning…
