Today is Andy’s 12th birthday. We started off with breakfast at Morin’s together. there we played Tic-Tac-Toe with silverware and jelly packets. Andy has always enjoyed Tic-Tac-Toe and playing games while we wait for our meals at restaurants. We did not have a pen and paper so we made do with what we did have.

Later in the afternoon we went down to the Cape for the Thanksgiving holiday. We stopped off at McDonald’s to grab lunch for Andy and me. We made a second stop at Dunkin for Eva and Allison. Then we were off to the Cape. Traffic was not bad so we made great time.

We enjoyed some Paul’s pizza for dinner and hung out with mom and dad. We watched the movie, Leo, on Netflix. It was funny and cute. We gave Andy their gifts including some Axolotl socks and slippers. Eva gave Andy a Minecraft LEGO set that also had Axolotls in it. We also gave Andy a 3D printed Dragon.

Andy has barely put this dragon down over the past few days. they really love it. I posted about it on Facebook and a friend from Krav showed it to his son and the son made Andy a dragon with his own 3D printer. We’re going to get it on Thursday. That is such a nice thing that the kid would do and he doesn’t even know Andy.

In the next couple of weeks we will be cleaning up the living room and getting ready for the Christmas Tree. I took the first week of December off so that we could do all of our Christmas traditions that weekend like putting up the trees, going to La Salette and more. When we do this we’ll be picking up and putting away all the toys in the living room. The kids do not play with them and we can use the space for additional furniture like a second rocking chair that is in the garage at the moment.
