Birthday building

That same day as Arts & Apples, we had Granny Great and Grandpa Great over for a dinner to belatedly celebrate Granny Great's 39th birthday (well that's how old SHE says she is, anyway).  Before we ate, Granny Great and the kids got silly building the tallest Lego tower ever.  Well, it seemed pretty darn tall to Peter, anyway.

Hmmm . . . what to do next?

Put another Lego on, of course!

Yup, that's Peter's ornery smile.  It was about this time that the game got to be finding more and more creative ways to knock down the tower while Charlotte laughed like a hyena.

It's so nice to have helpers when you're opening presents.  Charlotte was especially excited because Granny Great's present was a purse I sewed out of a pair of Charlotte's old jeans.

GG & GG brought a super cool floor puzzle with enormous pieces for the kids to assemble.  I think they put it together three times in a row (with a lot of help).

Gotta love a birthday party that ends with puzzles on the floor!  Happy 39th birthday, Granny Great!!
