Visit from the Parentals

My parents came for a quick visit last week. I'm terrible at taking pictures when they're around - they take so many with their camera I figure I'll just get copies. But, here's what I got. Gabe played dress up with Papa.

The boys smoked ribs, chicken and pork - would you expect anything less?

And, my cute mom pretty much single handedly put up our Christmas decor. Erik and I went out for our anniversary and when we came home, "Laaaaaaa!" (in an angelic chorus tone) it was done. Thanks mom!!! Here the kids admire a new addition to the tree this year: a train.
Other fun activites: shopping (of course), dinner and a movie (of course), Super Saturday with mom (thanks for your help!) and lots of fun play time.
