Ian's Despicable Me Moves
Ian learned these dance moves from the movie Despicable Me... and then there's Aaron, who needs some new moves, but is obviously feeling pretty good these days. We took this video before bath 2 nights ago. So funny.

Trick or Treat!
We invited our friend Jessica over to ToT with us this evening. We didn't go to *that* many houses, but stopped when the boy's buckets got too heavy for them to carry. It was great! They had a lot of fun & so did we!
Ian was Buzz Lightyear, Aaron was Sheriff Woody, & Lauren was Bo Peep.

Playing Outside

| Hard to believe |
 |
| On October 27th in Pennsylvania |
 |
| We were out in shirt sleeves |
 |
| Playing in the crunchy leaves |
 |
| Acting silly, as always |
 |
| seeing nothing but blue skies and fall colors |
 |
| Refusing to give mommy just ONE good picture |

"Junior Museum"
Panama City has a Children's Museum. We went there today and the kids LOVED it. Ian, who has been *SO* stubborn the last few days had the best time and didn't fight us at all when it was time to leave. He got right in his seat in the car, let Papa buckle him in, and didn't fuss, whine, or scream about anything! It was SO nice to have the "regular" Ian for a change, instead of "vacation" Ian, who is really not a joy to be around at all.
Of course now, he's not taking a nap, so the day is going down the crapper fast.
^there's a snake in there?
^"stand next to the dinosaur and let me take your picture!"
(That's the "best" shot of the 3 I was able to snap before they ran away)
Real live boat right inside!
And a grocery store!

You can make your bed
But then you have to lie in it.
Isn't that how it goes? Here's Ian on Sunday, with his Grandma Bishop. He decided he wanted to make a bed on the 2nd shelf up of our bookshelf in the living room. He laid there a good long time while she read him stories. We all thought he *might* fall asleep! He didn't but it was still really cute.
On New Years Eve, we had the best snowman-making snow! It was really heavy and wet, it stuck together really well. So, after we cleared off the driveway, Roger and Ian made a snowman. Ian calls all snowmen "Frosty" and he's been talking about Frosty in our front yard ever since.

Merry Christmas Videos
We've had a nice day! We took a whole bunch of short videos of the boys this morning. These are just a few. Let me know if I need to add captions. Make sure you stick around at the end of Aaron's first look at the tree to see his "happy dance!" Also, Isn't Ian getting articulate? We are loving his communication improvements, but we're also learning some new patience as Ian has hit the "WHY?" stage.
Funny stuff.

First Snow of 2009-2010 winter
And we played in it.
A lot.
Well, Ian did anyway. Living in Pittsburgh we lack proper winter play attire. It is shameful, considering our roots. Ian is lucky to have Isaac, his 5 year old cousin, who lives in the snow belt and requires warm snow suits as a matter of survival. Isaac passes down his snow suits to Ian and when Ian is done we pass them back to Meadville for Asher. Ian is wearing one of Isaac's suits for the 2nd winter in a row, since he's sortof stalled out at 2T size. (Last winter he wasn't quite 2T, but this winter he's fitting it perfectly.) So we've got a warm fuzzy snow suit for Ian, even if he doesn't have any snow boots.
I just don't want to pay $25 each for 2 pairs of snow boots, when the reality of Pittsburgh is that they'd only be worn a couple of times. Even KMart is charging that much... ridiculous. Anyway, this post isn't about whining about the price of snow boots. Its about playing in the snow. I personally have an awesome pair of snow boots, which I plan to review on this blog very soon. If you're a woman and you live where it snows, or even just gets chilly, you need a pair of boots like mine. You definitely do.
Moving on.
^Aaron is wearing a Steiff snow suit. Daddy bought it for Ian in Germany last winter, but unfortunately it was a little too small and Ian didn't get to wear it much. It is fitting Aaron perfectly this winter, though! Cool!

Bishop Family Christmas
We went to our first Christmas gathering of the season. (We actually don't have too many this year, which is interesting... we must lose our flavor the more rambunctious kids we have? just kidding...)
It was hosted by Roger's Mom and her husband Bob in New Brighton. They rented a room at the Penn Bistro, which in our opinion worked out perfectly! We thought the room was really nice, the space was the right amount, the food was good, the amount of time was right, etc. We thought it was great! Ian and Aaron didn't break anything, they only spilled one cup of water on the floor, and they were fairly easily contained. (Until they figured out there was a fish tank down the hall...)
The boys fell asleep on the way home, but both woke up when we got here. So they got to use their new plates and spoons to eat some soup before they went to bed.
Here are some photos from the day:
^that's a LOT of presents.
^ Ian and Aaron being silly
^the whole group: Front Row: Marilyn, Bob, Ian, Aaron & I
2nd Row: John, Liz, Waylon, Jeff, Melissa, John, & Roger
^the gift baskets we made: 2 coffee mugs, 1/2 pound of La Prima Coffee (local roaster & our favorite), homemade biscotti, intellegentsia tea, & torani syrup. Since Roger's mom and Bob are tea drinkers, their basket had tea only and local honey instead of coffee syrup. And a gift card to Beaver Falls Coffee & Tea, since they got a little something extra!
We thought the baskets turned out great, and the best part, for us, was they were mostly homemade. I like homemade gifts a lot. Maybe next year we will go 100% homemade and local with our gifts. What do you think? We had fun making them, we spent a lot of time putting them together, and we felt proud to be giving them!
Do you ever hand make holiday gifts? What have you made for people? Did they appreciate it more because it was homemade?
