Krispy Kreme!

Gavin is definitely my kid when it comes to sweets.  He loves him some dessert!  Ever since Daddy took him to Krispy Kreme on Christmas Eve, he points out the "donut shop" every time we drive by.  So, I knew I had to take him to the Krispy Kreme tour when our playgroup had it scheduled.  He loved it!

He got to feel a donut before it was cooked.  He said it was "squishy."

 He watched the donuts go into the oil and get cooked, and then it was time to decorate his own.  After the nice lady dipped it in chocolate, he was allowed to put his sprinkles on.  

Walking away with his donut in his bag, feeling very proud of himself! :) 

And time to enjoy!

And the sweet little boy was looking out for his daddy...he told me I had to buy some to take home for him, too! :)

Last Playgroup

St. Patrick's Day was our last playgroup with Mommies Gone Wild. We're going to miss all our friends so much! I took lots of pictures to put in Gavin's photo album of New York friends, but these are my favorites. There are a lot - just be warned!

Gavin was being anti-social since Elliott and Henry have a train table at their house. He loved it! I can't wait for him to get his in Arkansas.
Avery didn't want me to take his picture, but I tricked him! :) One of our newer friends - Ethan :) Such a big boy!

The youngest of our friends - Sovy is 5 weeks old! How precious! I'm so glad I got a chance to hold her.

Evan is a wild man - I couldn't catch up with him to get his picture.....this was the only one I got.

I got the most pictures of Elliott and Henry. The love getting their pictures taken! How cute are they?

After we played in the basement for a while and had snack, we took the kids outside since it was so beautiful. They loved the sunshine!

We will miss you all! Thanks for being so welcoming and such great friends during the 9 months we were New Yorkers!

Fun Times Friday

Shhhh! It's a Secret Santa! Gavin had his first ever Secret Santa gift exchange with the playgroup at Melon Bean this week. We had so much fun!

Two of our new additions to the playgroup

Gavin LOVES his food set from his friend, Evan! It came with 96 pieces off food that spends most of the day scattered all over the living room floor. Daddy really loves that :) It's been great though. He is already learning new words to label the foods. Thanks, Evan!

Happy Birthday, Avery!

Gavin attended his first "friend" birthday party in NY this weekend. Avery is a friend from our playgroup and he is turning 2 this month! His birthday party was at a place called The Little Gym, which was like a gymnastics gym for the toddlers. The kids all had a blast and Gavin fell asleep on his way home, so I guess he wore himself out! :) Here are some of the shots.

Bubbles galore!

"Camping" inside the parachute :)

Avery, the birthday boy!

Gavin didn't get the "bouncy" equipment at first...he couldn't stay standing.

Finally standing

And this is the start of a mini-meltdown :)

Thanks for the yummy cookie cake, Avery!

Happy Halloween!

Yesterday, my little skeleton and I headed to Danielle's for the Mommies Gone Wild playgroup Halloween party. Unfortunately, the illnesses going around have hit the playgroup, so we had a lot of kiddos that couldn't make it. But, the few of us that were there had fun. Too bad the kids didn't want to wear their costumes too long. I didn't get many pictures of them with their costumes on. Oh well! Enjoy!

Gavin wearing his borrowed skeleton costume! Thanks, Evan, for letting Gavin wear it. The lion costume was just too scary for him :) Mackenzie the Giraffe

Ever seen a skeleton ride a tricycle before?

Robbie, the Lion (can't you tell?) rocking it with the guitar!

Buddies :) Evan and Gavin

We'll be heading over to Alex and Stephanie's tonight for Trick or Treating. The weather isn't supposed to be great at all...rain! So, if it rains, we'll just be hanging out with their kids. Should be a fun night, though. Happy Halloween, everyone!
