Colton and Levi started off their days at at their schools, but left a little early to go to the One Hour office to have Thanksgiving lunch with dad, Uncle Ryan, Papa, and all the staff.  The boys managed to entertain the office with their antics before getting home to find Gigi over with some new books. Of course, the real excitement came after dinner when Colton and Levi got to open their first Hanukkah gifts.  The boys had been looking forward to it for days and it did not disappoint!!!

Colton and Levi had a pretty low-key day, running a couple errands with mom and then visiting the park for a bit before going home.

On Saturday, Colton and Levi headed out to MacArthur mall for a bit of Hanukkah shopping with mom and dad.  Of course, the boys managed to convince them that they deserved some time in the play area before leaving.  After getting some lunch and taking some naps, Colton and Levi met their neighbors from across the street for dinner at Gordon Biersch and then braved the cold to watch the Town Center Illumination Parade, with the obvious highlight being Santa and the candy canes Colton managed to collect.
On Sunday, our unfortunate streak continued as dad and Colton started off the day at the doctor determining that Colton has a pretty "angry" (doctor's words) ear infection.  With some medicine in his system, though, Colton wanted to join mom, dad, Levi, Nene, Papa, Gigi, and Gregg for Steelers Sunday at Shorebreak.

Colton and Levi had to drop moms car off bright and early Thursday morning, so they got out the door, picked up some Krispy kremes, and spent their day cruising around in their "race car."  Colton had his speech evaluation, so Levi got to spend some time with nene....and, of course, Colton got jealous so the boys headed to nene and papas for play time and lunch.

Friday was spent at school for colty and errand running for Levi.  Since it was such a pretty day, the boys spent some time at the park before coming home. Vat night, they joined mom and dad out for dinner at Lulus...and then got ice cream.

The boys headed off to school this morning, and when Levi got out, he was quite proud of the "surprise crafts" he had been working on there!  Of course, upon seeing his drum, Colton had to have one of his own, so the boys headed home to make him one.

Colton and Levi spent their day at the Green Bean playing with some friends.  After naps, they were excited to see their neighbor Grayson was over for a few minutes of play until her mom could get home.   

                                     

                                         
                                         

November 16-17, 2013

The boys enjoyed a pretty mellow Saturday, playing superheroes before taking a trip to Target and the park with mom and dad.  At night, they went to the JCC's Kids Night Out so mom and dad could have a much-needed night out!

Turns out the mellow was just the calm before the storm, though, because Sunday was quite eventful as Levi made our first trip to the ER.  While mom was showering, he somehow opened up an old bottle of blood pressure medication and possibly swallowed some.  Because we didn't know how much he had had (if any), mom, dad, and Levi spent 6 hours at the hospital undergoing heart rate monitoring, blood pressure tests, and even two EKG's!  Levi handled the whole thing like a champ, but everyone was very thankful to get out of there at the end of the night.  Meanwhile, Colton was lucky enough to spend the day at Shorebreak with Nene, Papa, Gigi, and Gregg watching the Steelers big win!
