Party!

Two weeks ago the kids had a week of vacation (unfortunately not coinciding with Lisa’s week of vacation…). So, on my Wednesday off we had a little party, just the three of us. A party consisting of basically anything Primarily Tobias came up with (because Lorelei just followed suit… :-)). The first thing was sleeping in… until 8:30. Then Tobias came down and made a sign which he put on my bedroom door saying: “The party begins here!”. Then he went downstairs “to make the first surprise”. By that time Lorelei had come down too. She had crawled into bed with me and Tobias came up with breakfast in bed! Sooooo sweet!.

Then we talked about what else we were going to do on our party. That’s where Lorelei came in screaming: “Eat pancakes!!!”. But Tobias first wanted to make his second surprise. He went downstairs and called me a couple of minutes late for help. He needed help building this “hut” they are in in this picture :-) (basically a couple of blankets draped over the table, but the two of them played in it for quite a while! (They are holding leftover candy canes :-)). It was so great to see how well they can play together! And even when Lorelei came up with ideas Tobias would play along. She kept hauling games into the tent and they just played them together. Needless to say I had a great time!

For lunch we ate pancakes (because we had Pasta Pesto, Tobias’ favorite, for dinner). We watched a movie in the afternoon. Lisa didn’t come home too late so we also got to spend some time with the four of us. What a wonderful party it was!

(Check out Lorelei’s arm around Tobias… adorable!).
