Grandma & Grandpa come to visit

Grandma and Grandpa were our first overnight visitors in the new house. Their timing was great--they arrived 5 days after our belongings did and spend a long weekend entertaining the boys, helping unpack, and, in Tom's case, stripping wallpaper in the kitchen (thank you Tom!). We're so glad they could come see the house and we're so grateful for the help! 
 We also celebrated Thomas' 3rd birthday. It's a Transformers fire station! It came complete with a coordinating book (called Optimus Prime!), which has been read approximately 297 times and I think both TJ and all of his willing readers have memorized it.
 I made dirt cake in his dump truck. I was very excited about this. As it turned out, more excited than Thomas. But it was fun and it tasted good!

 Thomas has become quite the photographer when he gets his hands on my camera. This is one of about 30 similar shots that he took, but it's pretty good!

 Grandpa created the "Jojo Corral," fencing the little guy in between his legs, the couch, and the stool. Jojo could stand to his heart's content with support when needed. A great solution!

 Jojo's checking out Thomas' train tracks.

 We got a little snow on Saturday (Sunday? I can't remember.) and Ed took TJ sledding on our hill again.

Thomas had so much fun one day and skipped his nap. He fell asleep while Grandma was reading a story before dinner.
