Trains and things...

Grammie and Aunty Em came to visit us this weekend and we had a great time! It is so nice to have family close by, (we miss our family in Abbotsford though!) Colin and Em went out to see Where the Wild Things Are on Friday night and me, Grammie and Rupert went to Fabricland to look for some fabric for new curtains in Rupe's room. Found some adorable nautical stripes that will go nicely with his Beatrix Potter theme for now and will also be a jumping off point for his big boy room eventually.

Reeeeuuuuuupe! He loves giving kisses and hugs!

He also likes to pull hair :D

We bought an awesome electric train set off of a mom's shop and swap group on facebook. So we decided to set it up and try it! Grammie decided to make a little zoo inside of the tracks. Colin made a Big Ben tower and Aunty Em made an awesome tree out of lego! This was all done after Rupe went to bed...

Colin dubbed it, Rupert's Playland...

We sat Rupert down in front of it in the morning and turned the train on... there were a few tears but once he got used to it really enjoyed watching the train go around. Then he turned into a monster and destroyed all our hard work... oh Rupe!

I've mentioned it in previous posts, but our boy sure does love to play without his clothes on... such a happier boy!

Rupert's first bronco ride on grammie's leg... not too out of control, that will come in later years. Gave grammie's leg a real work out... our little 22 pounder!

We had a great weekend with the Dyck ladies! Even got some Christmas shopping done! We are eagerly anticipating Christmas, had our first Starbucks drinks in red cups! I tried the new caramel brule latte... not a fan, I will stick to my white peppermint mocha thank you very much. Anyways, we had much fun, with great conversation, great shopping, great play time and great eats!
