Christmas Comes Early

We got spoiled in October, November and the beginning of December because we got to have FOUR visits from family!! I don't know who had more fun, Gage or I? :)

First up was Nonna

 We drove Nonna to Chicago so she could have a chance to see the big city and on the way down we stopped at a Pumpkin Farm.

Happy Halloween from the cutest Monkey in all of Wisconsin!!

 

I knew he would fight me to wear the costume, as he doesn't like anything that he isn't "familiar" with, so I didn't even try to put it on until we got to the Trunk or Treat and he saw all the kids running around, which he couldn't resist :) So I told him he could go play once the costume was on and just the idea of being able to run crazy in the gym was enough for him to agree to be a cute little monkey  :)

 He wanted to keep going and going and going! He was so proud to see his bucket fill up.

Next came a pregnant Shanna!

 Of course he had to try a bite of the treats they made together before he could smile for a picture.

Dance Parties!!!

Then came Kayla and cousin Bentley :)

Gage was so excited to go to the airport to get them!

We did lots of fun things while they were here, but one of Gage's favorites was going to the mall to see the train!

"Party at My Crib" Shirts from Grandpa :)

Gage LOVED being around Bentley and wanted to help with him and play with him the whole time.

The last to come was Grandpa.

When Gage saw Grandpa walking out of the security gates at the airport, Gage broke into a full run and ran straight to Grandpa and gave him a big hug! I wish I had my camera for it!!

 I got the above picture and below picture in a text from my dad while I was at work. Grandpa did a pretty good job as babysitter :)

Whenever Grandpa works on projects, Gage HAS to be right beside him helping.

The guaranteed trip to Fuddrucker's :)
