We had a wonderful time hosting Thanksgiving dinner this year. We welcomed Bill, Barbara, William, Erica, Will and our friend Laura to our home for a lot of great food. Christopher and I shared cooking responsibilites, and got a chance to wear our styling aprons (see photos above and below). My awesome sister-in-law, Sandi, gave me the apron that I am wearing in the photo below as a bridesmaid gift.
To help the toddlers get out some post-dinner steam, we introduced Will to the most amazing bubbles in the world. We recently bought this set of bubbles from Gymboree.
Check out the crazy amount of bubbles that you can create! And, because the bubbles are little, they stay in the air for a long time. This drives the cats (especially Socks) nuts! And, we've found bubbles stuck on the walls or furniture up to 24 hours later. So much fun!
Can you see how happy Will was to play with the bubbles?
The day after Thanksgiving, Christopher and I wanted to do something fun with Alexandra. We found that the Alexandria Chinquapin Rec. Center has a cool place called the Soft Playroom. It had all sorts of fun things for Alexandra to try. We hope to go back again really soon!
She loved climbing up and then going down this slide.
She discovered that it can be a lot of fun to stick blocks onto the wall.
And she had so much fun sliding into and then playing in this ball pit! When a toddler throws a tantrum when it's time to leave, that means they had fun, right?
Love the stylin aprons ;)
ReplyDeleteThose bubbles are the best - always a favorite of kids of all ages during the Gymboree classes!
