Christmas Tree Time!

Here's our fun annual tradition: the foomping of our mail-order Christmas tree. Ahhh.

Fun times for Mom's birthday!

Legos

From the zombie apocalypse to military dioramas to local landmarks (First Ave, Nye's Polonaise Room, Bob's Java Hut...), people have made it with Legos.

 

 

Happy Thanksgiving!

Willa Merch!

So much fun to be shopping at Target today and hear Willa exclaim, "Hey, that's me!" Indeed, she was on a bunch of toy boxes! She filled in last second for a friend at a modeling job once and then we forgot about it. Of course, we bought the toy with the most pictures of her on it!

Birthday Party Project

We have been volunteering regularly at the Birthday Party Project, an organization which throws monthly birthday parties for kids in shelters. We all loved doing crafts with the kids, chatting with their moms, taking photo prop pics, and handing out cupcakes and party favors. The birthday girl tonight was turning 5. She was the most appreciative gift recipient I've ever met with a non-stop: "THANK YOU! THANK YOU! I'M SO HAPPY! THANK YOU!" Seeing her pure joy was tremendous. The girls are insisting that we volunteer at every party.

Crafting, cocktails, and Twin Cities love at Upstairs Circus.
