The warm-up party

It's almost Gus' 4th birthday, so this weekend while his Gma Vickie and Gpa Dave were in town, they had the great idea of throwing a warm-up birthday party for Gus. Of course it was a hit.

Nice firetruck!


If you can't tell from the strangle-hold he has on his Grandpa, he was just a little excited about the firetruck.


He fought like 50 fires in our house yesterday and took care of every last one.


Nora got a gift, too, a Care Bear! (It's Cheer Bear for those of you who are my age and remember the Care Bears. This one sings when you squeeze her paw. OK, so the Care Bears have advanced since I had one.)

She then proceeded to walk around with the gift bag on her head. Aaand this is our Nora. This is what she does.
Cars!


After the kids finished up the birthday celebrations, they jumped right into their campaign for Christmas. It's almost like they know at a very early age who you should talk to about Christmas gifts.


Another great Grandparents weekend. Thanks, Vickie and Dave!
