The day after we got there, the crew that's building my parents' new kitchen started digging the big hole for the room. Julie had to bring Parker and Will over to see the back hoe and bulldozer at work. The boys loved watching the action! It was amazing how close the machines got to the back door!
Then on Friday, it snowed and sleeted and left the trees looking beautiful!
Despite the crazy weather, Marc, Sarah, Tim and Lyndsey were still able to come over for a little birthday party for Drew and to play some Famiy Feud. Here's Drew getting ready to blow out the candles on his cake. My mom made an egg- and milk-free cake just for Drew...and he was terrified of it! It was worth a try though! He did enjoy everyone singing to him (he now sings, "Haaaaaaaaaappy, Dreeeeeeew!" all the time) and blowing out the candles.
Later, Drew got to hang out with Lyndsey, who he LOVES! They played Hide n' Seek, read books, played with all the toys that were around - they were busy! Here they are reading together.
And he got to color with his Aunt Sarah.
He has had a few masterpieces on his doodle pros. I think they are usually by accident, but I can't tell. He was busy on this one, and then held it up for everyone and said, "hellicopter!" Not too bad!!
Drew is amazing in the car on our 9 hour trips to and from Indiana. He seriously did not cry or whine once either way! He gets a little panicky when he has to go to the bathroom (doesn't want to go while sitting in his carseat), but he was easily distracted. He slept about 30 minutes on our way to Indiana and maybe one hour on our way back home. Here he is on our way home in his Colts gear. We got home just in time to watch the Super Bowl!
Our trip home was very pretty - the ground was covered in snow just about the whole way! But the roads were just fine.
Here's one of the three tunnels that we go through - of course those are Drew's favorites!
