Grandparent Fun

Gavin loves changing our window clings to match each season, with Nana and Grandpa:

And he loves to work on the United States puzzle with Grandma and Grandpa:

New Animals

Here are Gavin's favorite new stuffed animals:

He named them "Mrs. Snake" and "Mr. Silly Snake."  They've earned a place in his bed.  Thanks Nana and Grandpa!

What To Do On A Snow Day?...

...Stay in pajamas and try on hats, of course!

Ice Skating

Last week we went ice skating at All Seasons rink.  We took a class there last year, but Gavin never wanted to let go of my hand (and the teachers always tried to get him to).  He tells me he still wants to skate, but what he means is he wants to go the the "open skate."  There's no teachers and he keeps his hand firmly in mine!

The lacing takes forever!!

Finally on the ice!!

Ships!

We just may have another ship buff in the family!  It all started last month when Uncle David showed Gavin a video of the German warship "Bismarck."  He tells us about how it battled with British ships before it sank.

We got Gavin a book about ships from World War Two, which he LOVES.

Then we told him a  little about the Titanic, and how Uncle David knows more about it than just about anyone.  So he asked his uncle to come over and teach him about it.

Now he tells me daily about the Titanic's sister ships (the Olympic and the Brittanic).  He remembers details like how many funnels they had and what color they are.  It is SO sweet!!

Dominoes

Nana and Grandpa Cermak brought over their set of dominoes, and Gavin loved it.  He loved the matching as well as making a line and knocking them all down:
