Well, this past week was a very busy one! Evan had a playdate of some kind every day of the week and with a different friend everyday! So it was a lot of fun.... Drew has had about 6 days off in a row and we've taken advantage of the time to do lots of family things together. On Thursday, our family left for a little mini vacation to Indianapolis and Ohio... We stopped and picked up my college friend, Trisha and her 2 kids and headed to the Childrens Museum in Indianapolis for several hours. Evan and Elias had a blast. We could have stayed there all day if it wasn't for needing naps... We decided we'll have to do this lots more often together. These 2 boys played so well together and have become great buddies :) Then we spent the rest of the day and evening with the Hitchcock's and ate dinner at Panera (not an easy thing with 3 little ones!)... On Friday morning, we woke up and headed over to Ohio to visit one of Drew's best friends from college and his wife and little boy. We all ate lunch at Red Robin and then visited an air force museum near their house. Evan loved all the planes and little Caleb slept through the whole museum! It was a great way for us to talk and catch up while we walked through the museum. We headed home late Friday afternoon... Great trip! Thanks to the Hitchcocks and Goodwins for their hospitality... We had a great time! Then Saturday morning we woke up and went to Breakfast with Santa... Evan really enjoyed himself, but wouldn't get too close to Santa... We're hoping next year he'll be brave enough to sit on his lap.... Then Sunday night we celebrated Christmas with my mom's side of the family.... All in all, a very full week, but a very fun one too!!
Drew and the boys walking through the train exhibits.... This was their favorite part by far of the whole museum!

Riding his truck around the basement.... He's finally to the point where he's not scared of this anymore! He got it for his birthday in August and is just finally willing to push the buttons and make it go....
Fun family time in the basement :)
Wearing daddy's hat and playing with stickers.... 2 of his most favorite things lately!
