An Evening with the Elves

We headed back to Marbles this year for the "Evening with the Elves" party. A little different this year- most noticeably the additional 500 people to whom they sold tickets. They ran out of food by 7:30. That was also not good. But all in all we had a good time. The kids got to wear their jammies- which they loved. We also invited lots of friends. So I hated that it was crowded and foodless for all of the money we paid, but the kids had so much fun playing with each other. Since the desserts had run out before we even finished dinner, we had to stop at McDonalds on the way home and get ice cream cones. The kids didn't get to bed until after 10, but slept in until 11 the next morning! Yeah!

Isaac and Sid listen to the awesome band. They really were good.

Sid has only been to Marbles a couple of times. He has never been upstairs...but of course Isaac feels right at home. So Sid took Isaac upstairs and Isaac took off for the tool benches. Sid lost him momentarily and was in a panic. In the distance he saw the tool benches and knew right away that was where his son had run off to- and sure enough!

Grace and Bella built a huge Lego tower and trapped themselves within.

Mommy and Isaac built a big tower too.

Isaac was so proud of his tower. He really did a great job of randomly stacking the blocks.

Grace and Caleb built this tower all by themselves.
