Christmas #3

For our third family Christmas celebration we headed up north to my parent's house in Pennsylvania. Along the way we stopped for a bite to eat and some playtime. Ainsley was happy to see her "best friend again."


We spent 3 days in York, enjoying food and family time. Ainsley and Parker had fun opening their third round of gifts. Our Christmas tree at home was up on a table (out of Parker's reach). However he quickly discovered that Nana and Papa's tree was on the floor, and therefore easy to chew on. In addition to practicing his tree-trimming skills, he also learned how to climb the stairs! A skill he has since perfected since returning home.

Another climber, just like his big sister.

Santa came to Nana and Papa's house too!

After many attempts at eating the tree, Parker was finally confined to the ExerSaucer.

I think we have a future pilot!

Such a big boy!
York had a beautiful white Christmas week, and one night we ventured out to a local park that had light displays. The first attempt we had to go home because they were closed due to the ice. Our second attempt was successful however, and the kids enjoyed the mile-walk with lights, trains, and other seasonal entertainment. Parker, once again, was happily bundled up in his stroller - probably the warmest one there!

They really are happy - they're just distracted by the singing penguins.
Lights!
And the best part of visiting Nana and Papa? Ainsley got to make "special pancakes" with Nana every morning. Always a highlight for our little chef! She also helped prepare some of the food for our Christmas meal. What a fun trip and a continuation of our family's holiday celebrations.

Ainsley's 11th Birthday in Lockdown

Image
My baby girl is ELEVEN today!!! She couldn't have a big party, but she sure had a special day.  We surprised her with yard signs ( cardmyyard.com ). We released the butterflies into the garden. They hung out on the kids' hands for a while before flying off.  Her gift from us was a purple hoverboard - she is so excited! Her neighborhood friends came and secretly decorated the garage for a little party. She was so surprised and loved sharing cake with her best friends. THEN to add even more excitement, two of her best friends from school came for a 'drive-by' socially-distant celebration. She was thrilled to see them drive up - she hasn't seen them in person since March 6, before Spring Break!! Both sets of grandparents gave her a new bike (she will get to go shopping and pick it out herself next week). She has grown so much and is in desperate need of a new bike!  My beautiful 11 year old... how time flies!

Momming Hard Day 9... until the end of time

Things were rolling along quite nicely yesterday (well, not really but let's not get caught up in subtraction regrouping lessons).  We were getting ourselves set up for success on this temporary schedule. We were learning things and reading things and writing things and then... the bottom dropped out. The governor announced all schools are closed for the rest of the year.  I'm sure all the other parents watching the news conference had the same physical reaction that I did. I felt like I'd been punched in the gut. Tears, anger, disbelief... my poor children. ALL these poor children. When they left for spring break they didn't realize it would be the last time they'd see their friends. The last time they'd see their teachers. Ainsley, in particular, is taking it the hardest. She's missing her last Lower School play. Her last Grandparents Day show.  No field day.  No fifth grade graduation. No class graduation party. She is heartbroken. The next time she sets

Attempted Baking Projects

I’m sure I’m not the only one who started this quarantine and thought the Zombie Apocalypse was imminent. I did what all normal apocalyptic-preparers would do - I filled our extra 60 gallon water containers, I checked the date on my bucket of freeze-dried food, and I stocked up on canned goods and baking essentials. Clearly the stores would be completely shuttered and I was going to have to make my own bread and can my own vegetables by the time we emerged from quarantine. Well, we all know things didn’t turn out quite that bad, but an Ayres is always prepared!  I’ve had a fully stocked pantry of baking ingredients so I’ve worked hard to keep something on the counter to eat at all times. Today I attempted cinnamon squares.  The yeast didn’t rise as much as I thought it should’ve, and I didn’t include the pecans that the recipe called for since I have some nut-haters in the family.  So you roll out the dough and the spread some of the filling, which was easier said than done.  Then you
