We spent Thanksgiving in Pennsyvlania with Matt's family. Matt's whole family was actually there! We enjoyed a traditional Thanksgiving dinner as well as girls day out, boys day out, a big birthday party to celebrate all the grandchildren's birthdays and just spending time together. The week just flew by! Every time we would get in the car to go somewhere Madelynne would say, "I can't go home. I need to stay at grammie and grampa's house!"
Greenway Family Bowling
One thing the Greenway family loves to do together is bowl. It is so fun to watch the little ones different bowling techniques. It was Madelynne's first time bowling and she is a good little bowler. She almost scored higher than Mommy!
Christmas Project
When the guys went to enjoy their day out, the women stayed home and tended the children and made these cute Christmas boards. Amazing what you can do with some wood, scrapbook paper and decoupage! The hardest part of the whole project was choosing the papers and which font we wanted to use. My board is the one on the far right.
The Grandchildren's Birthday Party
Each year in Matt's family we draw names to exchange Christmas gifts. The grandchildren draw names as well and give gifts to their cousins. We decided the cousins would exchange their gifts at the birthday party so they would have gifts to open. Madelynne love the princess crown and earrings her cousin, Isaac, picked out for her. Jackson got a new rattle from his cousin, Andrew, and it has since become one of his favorite toys.
Everyone loves a good party and this was no exception. The expressions on their faces are priceless! Do you think they had a good time? Each child got to make snowflake ornaments, have a funfetti cupcake with chocolate icing and open a present. Each grandchild also got a new set of pajamas from grandma and grandpa. The adults even got a present too! Each couple got a gift certificate to Olive Garden for a dinner out! Yum! We decided it would be cute to get all the grandkids in their new jammies and take a picture. Easier said then done, but still cute!
Bat Baby
Jackson loves to be upside down. We have nicknamed him "Bat Baby". He would hang out upside down all day if he could!
Madelynne got to be grammie's model for the nativity costumes she was sewing for her ward Christmas party. In the other pictures she is just being silly and eating chocolate(of course!).
