We were all very excited for Meme's first visit. It was a big day for her. First solo trip to Boston, ever. She got a little overwhelmed, but made it safe and sound. She claims she drove into the city and parked so that she could explore and go shopping. Let's just say, the kids and I had to take the T so that we could drive her and her car out of downtown and to our place. It was an adventure. Right, mom?
I was able to get some much needed organizing done while Meme kept the kids occupied.
Christian was very confused when Meme had to leave. He didn't know why she only stayed for a couple hours. He asked if she was getting on an airplane to fly home. She explained that we live close now and he can visit her whenever he wants. He smiled with delight.
After we saw Meme off, we headed to the Cambridge Galleria for a little Trick-or-Treat prep. All I can say is Lindalee stole the show. I had my hands full and didn't do the best job of capturing it, but she walked around to all the shops with a big grin on her face, very proudly collecting candy and putting it in her bag. When she saw a baby she would give them some of her candy. She was too much. I had a number of random people ask to take a picture of her {kind of weird}.
Christian took his job of big brother/protector of the seahorse, very seriously.
Trick-or-treating is hard work. Christian had to take a rest in the hallway of our building.
We got the kiddos to bed and hit the town. We figured our doorman would make sure the kids don't get out if they woke up.
{Kidding}
Even the statues were in game day gear, beards and all.
It was crazy out. Everyone was getting ready for the big game. I smelled victory in the air on our walk to Chris' friend {fellow Darden alum}. We had a nice time catching up and meeting some new people while watching the game. After the win, we decided to walk home. It was so fun to see all the celebrations going on. It was a beautiful night to walk home.

We got home around midnight. I think Christian felt the excitement in the air {he's already a big Red Sox fan}. He was up, waiting for us. We all had a midnight snack and went to bed.
It was a very eventful day filled with a lot of things to be thankful for. Christian said he was most thankful for eating chocolate candy {sorry, Meme}. I know Chris was thankful for being a part of a great night in sports {also, the socialization and beer that comes along with it}. I was thankful for a wonderful day and the special memories that were made with some of my most favorite people.
