Our Busy Weekend Update

This past weekend was very busy! Friday-Saturday we were in Neenah celebrating Matt, Dad Hack and Gavin's birthday's! Ashley and my mom did a wonderful job getting everything together for the party on Saturday (Thank You)!! St. Nick came Saturday Morning, this was the first year that Gavin got St. Nick and he was one happy boy! He got socks, books, trucks, puzzles, and lots of chocolate! Gavin got a chance to play in the snow at Nana and Grandpa's house on Saturday morning! Gavin, David and Grandpa all had fun, but once again it was a struggle to get Gavin to come inside. It was very cold on Saturday morning and Gavin did not want to come inside. He sure does not have a problem with the cold, which is good considering we live in Wisconsin :) Saturday Afternoon we had the Birthday Party at Ashley and Matt's house! Gavin got a lot of nice gifts! Dinousaurs, dino. pj's, dino. bath towel. a 4-wheeler, lots of clothes, books, slippers, movies, and ornaments. Thank you to everyone that was there!Sunday we had the Vander Velde Christmas Party in Illinois! It was very nice and wonderful to see everyone again!

We have a busy week ahead of us, and to add more to it we are supposed to get 9 inches of snow between tonight and Tuesday night.

Wed. is Gavin's 2nd Birthday, so we are having Mom and Dad VV, Kristin, Chris and the kids over for some pizza and cake! Other then that Gavin's 2nd birthday is very low key!

Potty Time

Last night Gavin sat on the actual toilet to go potty. We haven't been having that much luck with potty training. He is showing lots of interests, he just doesn't go. Anyways...After he was done "going potty" he washed his hands very well (Sang the ABC's twice). This picture is just too funny for me not to post. David told me not to post it and that Gavin probably wouldn't like that, but he's two, and his little butt is too funny in this picture!

Gavin Vacuuming

Here is a quick video of Gavin vacuuming his bedroom.

Ok...So of course Gavin does not have chores at the age of 2! But he loves Vacuuming, so why not tell him he is doing a good thing...right?

Our Weekend

Thanksgiving was wonderful! Great food and Very relaxing! David and I left mom and dad VV's at around 7pm and ran home to get ready for our evening. We had alot of fun shopping with TJ and Shawna in the Dells! They had great deals! Too bad we were practically done with everyone! We got all of our Christmas shopping done this weekend, along with everything wrapped and under the tree!

Friday was a very very LAZY day for us. After finishing up shopping we came home and we watched a lot of movies and took lots of naps! Considering David and I were going on almost 34 hours without sleep! I can't even remember the last time we/I did that!Yesturday (Saturday) was a day filled with many errands. We had many returns to make along with a few purchases. We then went to lunch at Buffalo Wild Wings! Gavin fell asleep while eating again. The poor kid goes until he can't anymore! I had a swipe food out of his mouth for the fourth time! We then came home and David took Gavin outside to play in the snow. They made a nice mini snowman and lots of snowballs! They were out there for well over an hour +, no lie! We finally had to carry Gavin inside because it was getting so dark outside they couldn't see! He wasn't too happy!Today I had a work Pampered Chef party! It was a lot of fun! I got some nice things and am very excited about them! I also agreed to do a book party, so don't be surprised if you get an e-vite from me :)

Anyways...It is still snowing here! Hopefully the roads won't be too bad tomorrow!

Have a good Monday!

Happy Turkey Day!

Some Tub Time Pictures. Check out how LONG Gavin's eye lashes are!

So...Tomorrow if Thanksgiving! This is a very relaxing Holiday for us. Usually consists of us looking at the Ad flyers for Black Friday, having a few cocktails, football, and food! We are not big Turkey Eaters, so...Ham it is with all the fixings of course! Can't wait. We will be spending Thanksgiving at Mom and Dad VV's this year! Then Gavin will be spending the evening with them so that David and I can have an adventure! We are going to be heading down to the Dell's at around 9:00-10:00pm tomorrow with Shawna and TJ. We are going to stop for a few drinks then we are going to be Shopping at the Wisc. Dells Outlet Mall at 12am!! They are supposed to have FABULOUS deals. We'll see! Then we will head on back to Madison and see where we go. I have NEVER done anything to this extent before but I think it will be fun. We will probably be exhausted the rest of the weekend though! I will report on Friday or Saturday on how our Adventure was!

I hope everyone has a safe and wonderful Thanksgiving!
