Nana and Papa Steve Visit!!

We asked Nana and Papa Steve if they wanted to come down for Halloween and they said yes!!!  That way they could also celebrate the kids birthdays early since the Kelly hotel weekend in November isn't happening and we will be in AZ for Thanksgiving.  So how did Nana and Papa celebrate with the kids?  They gave them each special days with a meal and a budget for shopping!  For Ashley's she went to Walmart and ended up buying the Paw Patrol big boat thing bc she knows that Trevor has been wanting that.  (Seriously, how are our kids so kind like that?!?!)
Chuck E Cheese's for lunch, no surprise there!
For Trevor's special day they started at IHOP where he got a special breakfast:
Then they checked out Target:
But ended up at Walmart where he bought the Shopkins plane because he knew that he and Ashley would both like playing with it.  Heart melting....
Pretty sure the kids will never forget their special days with Nana and Papa!  And what a wonderful memory in addition to gifts and meals.  We for sure want to make this a tradition with our grandkids (not any time soon on that LOL!!!).  The rest of their trip was pretty busy with Halloween activities as you will see in future posts so it was good that Papa escaped the craziness with some time outside! Wouldn't be doing that in MN now!

Shopkins Live!

We surprised the kids with tickets to Shopkins Live in Fayetteville!  They were so surprised!!!!  Had no idea!!!
We heard about it on the radio and were surprised there were still some seats available! 
While waiting for the show Mommy had more surprises!  She wrapped two Cutie Cars (all the rage right now) for each kid!  Trevor even got the one he had been wishing and wishing for!
Was a cute performance.  So glad we love making memories - big and small - with the kiddos!  Wonder what the next surprise will be?  We are getting pretty good at them these days!

It was a beautiful Sunday so we headed out to McGarrah's Farm for some Fall fun!  Ended up seeing two of Trevor's soccer teammates and their families so that was fun!
