Thanksgiving Weekend - 2009

Another great Thanksgiving weekend! This year Grandma Hillary and Grandpa Ricky brought GG (Great-Grandma Pearl) to spend the weekend at our house. The kids had a fun time playing with everyone all weekend, especially waking everyone up early in the morning!

On Wednesday, the boys met Tony downtown for dinner and a Red Wings hockey game. Isaac's first hockey game, which coincides well with his recent commencement of ice skating lessons.
Once again Miriam and her helpers cooked up a wonderful Thanksgiving feast for Thursday and Grandpa carved the turkey.

Olivia and Isaac Playing in the house

Friday and Saturday morning the kids spent some time in the house playing quite a bit together. Friday with Miriam and Saturday with me...

Here are some more pictures and a video.

Lego Castle at Henry Ford Museum

Today we took the kids to the Henry Ford Museum, there was a special Lego Castle Adventure exhibit.
The kids were able to build there own castles, dress up as; nights, dragons, and princesses, play in the "big" castle and joust. There was also an exhibit showing all the old Lego sets from the 70/80's too.

After the Lego Castle exhibit we had lunch and spent some time in the actual museum. Isaac was especially fascinated by the steam engines and generators from the 1800's and early 1900's.

See some more pictures and a short video of Isaac jousting here.

Trick-Or-Treat

This year there was no doubt that both Isaac and Olivia were going trick-or-treating. They had been talking about it for weeks and were very excited about there costumes and getting the candy.

On our way out.....
