Black Friday

For us, the day after Thanksgiving was not for shopping, it was for visiting with friends who were in from out of town! Our friends Alison, Chris and their son Ethan were visiting Chris' family for the holiday and were able to come out to our house to play and grab lunch.

At first Charlotte and Ethan stayed on their respective sides of the room just staring at each other and clutching the leg of a nearby parent. After a while they became more comfortable and began playing...separately together. :) Ethan is a big fan of trucks, but being that our house is all about the pink and the girly right now, there wasn't a whole lot that was catching his eye. I was able to pull together a few vehicles and a puzzle with construction equipment - jackpot! I was so impressed by his ability to name all of the machines. So cute hearing a toddler say "bulldozer" and "backhoe"!


Congregating around the few wheeled objects we could find


So cute in their Gymboree sweater and cordorouy pant ensembles


Trying for a posed shot on the couch...didn't go over too well! Love Charlotte's look though.


After playtime we headed to everyone's favorite kid friendly restaurant - Red Robin! The kids were awesome during lunch and everyone enjoyed the meal. After lunch Chris, Alison and Ethan headed back to his parent's house. They had an early start the next day for their drive back to Missouri. It was great to see them and we're hoping to be able to visit them soon.
