This holiday season, we bring you...Mamaw and Dadaw!

Braving the horrific seasonal traffic between Indianapolis and here, Mamaw and Dadaw arrived Tuesday night to celebrate Thanksgiving with little ole us. Let me tell you, the party here is so hot that the boys haven't been to bed before 10 since.

Also hot has been the outstanding weather, which allowed us to spend the pre-nap afternoon at the park yesterday and gave Mamaw and myself ample little-boy photo ops.

Dadaw is much braver than me, and he took the liberty of introducing the boys to the concept of actually going down to the creek we pass by on the way, instead of just throwing sticks into it from the bridge.





Silly Dadaw, wearing himself out trying to keep that Jake from soaking himself and others with the creek water. It's a good thing he had a band of willing slaves nearby to help him take a load off.



As for the Jake, the splashing, the pulling Dadaw, and the eventual falling out of the wagon hisself made our favorite squish-faced gentleman a little grumpy and in need of a serious cuddle.



We ended yesterday with a trip to Applebee's and the toy store, where Mamaw and Dadaw watched the babies so Daddy and I could do some Christmas shopping. Then later, Mamaw bathed the little people and Daddy and I escaped on a 20-minute coffee date!

Viva Mamaw and Dadaw!
