Trampoline Raising

Grandma and Grandpa came to visit last weekend! They got to see Peter's choir concerts and we also celebrated Thomas's birthday a bit early. In advance of their visit, they ordered a trampoline for the kiddos! It was delivered to our house a day or two before they arrived. I covered the boxes with a towel and told the kids they were just boxes that Daddy and I had to take out to the trash. It worked -- they left them alone! So when Grandma and Grandpa arrived, we asked the boys to take a closer look at those boxes.

What could be in them?!

The look of realization comes over Tom's face

Carefully following the instructions

Selecting the perfect spot

We'll just play while they build

It works!

I think he likes it

And finally, a selection of photos of our early birthday celebration for Thomas:

Watching Thomas open presents

He loves his t-rex and baby t-rex

Those dimples :)
