M&B came to our house for Thanksgiving. Actually, they came a couple of days before, so that we could have some fun! On Wednesday, we took the day off of work and did food prep in the morning, then as soon as the little girls woke up from their naps, we headed to Pretend City. What a fun place that turned out to be. First we went to the "farm"...
There were apples and oranges to pick...
gardens to plant...
(Meanwhile, Poppi and Em found a construction zone...)
back on the farm, the crops were coming right along.
That was one very proud little farmer (with her tiger suit on!)
Soon the re-enforcements arrived...
There were strawberries and lettuce to pick...
But there were so many other things to see and do!
Fire Engines and cars--just her size!
Bridges just her height...
and a little house that had furniture and rooms just made for her!
A little kitchen...
and even the bathroom of a perfect size--no step-stools needed for standing by the sink! But there were more places to explore...
Like the big playroom, with games to play...
and soft bowling pins to knock over.
But there was more to see--like fishing in the ponds...
and playing in the sand on the beach.
It was a good time for mom and dad to relax a bit and just enjoy watching the fun.
Em found herself another car again, complete with interesting dials.
Next we were off to the dentist...
...then off to visit the doctor's office.
By this time, we were getting rather hungry, so we stopped by a little restaurant and ordered some food!
But little girl found another little house to explore!
Father and son needed a bit of time to relax and chat...
while mother and daughter headed for the craft room...
...and created butterflies!
Nana and little girl spent some quiet time in the library.
We had a wonderful time at Pretend City and look forward to a repeat performance again someday!
We had a lovely Thanksgiving Day together. (I forgot to take pics of the actual "sit-down" event, but the food was good, and the fellowship was great.) While the women were busy cooking in the kitchen, this little princess had her daddy helping her make playdoh jewelry for the special day.
After a few story books and some lunch, the little girls took a long nap and the adults were able to enjoy a meal together without interruption.
We were privileged to host a couple of guys from church as our Thanksgiving guests this year. After the girls woke up from their naps (and enjoyed their Thanksgiving meal), we were treated to a mini jazz piano concert by D. Fantastic!
A few hours later, we checked out Nana's flowers...
...then bid our farewells. We had such a lovely time. Happy Thanksgiving weekend!

What a neat place-Pretend City! Had never heard of a place like that. So appropriate for the little ones and fun.
