family day 2010

Here's a look at how we spent our family day. After a relaxed morning of playing, catching some Olympic highlights (are we the only house that has the tv on all the time?) and a run for me, we headed out for lunch. Jesse was a bit grumpy for half the ride and perked up when we talked about the mango ice cream he would be having.

Nathaniel picked out his hockey shirt last night to wear for Family Day. He said he didn't want to go for sushi, but he secretly loves it.

Abigail kept track of what we ate.

It's nice when I get in some shots. Thanks Andrew for taking over the camera duty for a few shots.

We all love the edamame. We ordered 3 dishes.

Abigail polished off 2 orders of California roll.

Finally. What he was waiting for. After he was finished his meal, he made goofy faces at the other patrons. Thank goodness for friendly strangers that don't mind goofy 2 year olds.

Later this afternoon we made a bonfire in the backyard. I provided the snacks.

Everyone was very excited to be having hot chocolate outside.

Jesse waited to get his share.

The boys found theirs too hot. How convenient to just put it in the snow to cool off.

Nathaniel was really into being outside. He kept asking if we could sleep outside too.

Jesse has been a bit under the weather and didn't have a nap (despite my trying). He spent his time chillaxing (Abigail taught us this word today).

Our afternoon was simple to plan, but the kids loved that we did something different. Abigail especially loves when we do these special things together.

Abigail was trying to get a picture with Jesse and he kept trying to kiss her cheek.

Abigail loved it!

Jesse was having a hard time getting all his marshmallows that were stuck to the bottom of his cup.

We just couldn't get those last few. Jesse was so patient waiting though.
