We spent one November day at the the soccer field by Wilson by the lake. It was an unusually warm day so we had a picnic and had fun spending time together. The boys took turns taking the bike down the big hill and scoring goals on the soccer goals.
Grayson and I worked hard on his family portrait assignment. Grayson had to pick a family side and interview them to get more information on the first family member to come to the US. Grayson and I had so much fun doing research on this project and learned so much of our family. We learned that Opa (Mommy's dad) was basically the first Beurskens that came to the US. He came over on a ship from Venlo with his mom, dad and brother Hank. We have a picture of the 4 of them as they arrived in Ellis Island. We have a picture of the menu they could choose from when they had their first meal as well as their first family picture in the US. We learned a lot about our family. It was so much fun telling his teacher all about it. Grayson then completed paperwork on his family and did a report on his family tree. He presented this family tree to his classmates. His teacher was very impressed and happy to learn about his family. I only wish Opa was hear to tell Grayson first hand how it all happened. It's so so sad that Opa never met my boys.
Grayson had a playdate at Mack's house while Liam had Mack's sister Brooke over to our house for a playdate. They all had fun together! Brooke made a picture for Liam and he made one for her.
Grayson and Liam made Daddy birthday cards and had fun decorating them. They also made welcome home signs for Daddy as he was in Vegas with Ethan, Phil and Logan the weekend before his birthday.
