Gymnastics, Cookies and Lights!

OH MY…and in usual Hannah-style, it was all in one day.

When Gus is on a road-trip I have to get creative, or I will simply go insane in the house for 4 days straight with no reserves. Sometimes I do take it a little too far and try to do a little too much, but that’s why I have a digital camera: I delete bad pics showcasing meltdowns and tantrums and exploit the good times.

All in all it was an amazing day for Bo starting with Gymnastics class with Kendall and her friend Olivia. For his first time, he was pretty good at following directions and he loved the balancing and “vaulting” jumps, but mostly he loved the foam pit!!! Honeslty, though, how bad do you want to JUMP IN?!!!

Also, his bravery was AMAZING when he leaped off this ledge to the foam below..twice! Bo is a HUGE…ok, how do I put this nicely, well, Bo has fears. Both of his parents were WIMPS (we still won’t watch scary movies or go on rollercoasters) as kids as well, so I was incredibly proud of him that he overcame his fear and jumped! I would have NEVER!

Next it was cookie-cutting time at Olivia’s house and the dough Mandy made was AMAZING! So amazing, in fact, that most of it went into the mouths of our kids before it went in the oven.

Finally, we went to Pebble Creek Drive for some amazing Christmas lights in Rocklin! Every year for as long as I can remember, this neighborhood boasts beautiful lights, sidewalk cocoa and fire-pits, and best of all, hand-painted Disney characters on every lawn!

From Lightning and Mater, to Thomas and Percy, Bo couldn’t contain his sheer enthusiasm for everything CARTOON! He was singing carols, whistling choo-choos and giggling at everyone and everything! This kid was on fire.

Bo and Kendall had another AMAZING day together! Little do they know that in 5 days, it gets even better.
