Theater.

One of my favorite childhood memories is going to the theater to see Aunt Barbara in her various performances. It was so cool. All the music, singing, costumes, etc.

We decided to take Wren to see Dr. Doolittle. Our friend, Cherie, was cast as Chee-Chee, so we had the perfect excuse to try.

Wren lasted about 1 hour and 15 minutes. Not too shabby for a three year old. At that point he grew a little restless and wanted to go up and touch the sets. Plus, he doesn't whisper very well yet, so we had issues with his little questions carrying through the very small venue. :-)

Gingerbread House.

Wren did pretty well with this fun project. We stopped, though, once he figured out that the materials were edible. He didn't eat any of the candy, but he licked the icing out of curiosity. Ha. That was when I chimed in with, "Looks pretty good. I'd say we're about done here." ;-)

Finding a Tree.

We are loyal patrons of Patterson's Market in Gig Harbor. They are so bloody nice there. It has been locally owned and operated for... well, for forever. In any case, we went there to find the perfect Savage tree. Wren, however, was more concerned with finding the perfect Honeycrisp apple. ;-)

Thanksgiving.

Thanksgiving was a fun day for us. We had pancakes for breakfast. Then we caught a matinee. Wren LOVED the new Muppet movie. Afterward, we stopped by to visit some friends for a bit. Then it was home for a delicious meal. I found a smoked turkey at the store. I served it with smashed potatoes, GF gravy, cranberry relish, and spinach salad. 30 min prep ~ can't beat that. Plus, Jess made one of his famous pumpkin pies. So, we had that to enjoy afterward. :-)

Play Woodybuzz.

Wren asked his Daddy to play "Woodybuzz" with him. He got all ready in his Woody costume, and then he requested that Jess put the Buzz costume on. It was a bit small, but we found a way to improvise. Once they were dressed, Wren requested that they reenact the scene from the end of Toy Story in which Woody and Buzz fly up into the sky via rocket, free themselves from said rocket, and then glide down into Andy's car. Cute.
