Weekend in Wisconsin

FRIDAY - This morning I made my way to the Northland to pick up my brother and head to the airport. We are off to see my sister, brother-in-law and nephew Tanner in Wisconsin for the weekend.

It ended up being an uneventful flight into Milwaukee and from there we rented a car and drove to Neenha, WI where my sister lives. We spent the afternoon hanging out, playing outside with Tanner as well as having fun with Play-Doh & looking at zoo animals on the computer.

Once my brother-in-law got home from work, we all went out to eat at a dee-lish Mexican restaurant. Tanner LOVED the chips and it was much fun watching him dip them in salsa & then eat them. He is too cute! We arrived back home bellies full & super sleepy from our early morning and day full of travel. We were all in bed by 9pm :)

SATURDAY - Today is Tanner's 2nd birthday - the main reason we came to WI for the weekend! It ended up being a beautiful day with temps in the upper 60's. We started out our day by playing outside, blowing bubbles and riding the "jeep" all around the yard! My brother-in-law Ben put my brother Steve to work for the day & helped him cut & hang siding on the shed that he has been building.

While the boys were hard at work, my sister Jen, me & Tanner ran some errands to get ready for Tanner's birthday party later in the evening. Our first stop was to the bakery to get Tanner's Elmo cake:Once we got back home, Tanner got to open his presents and had much fun ripping paper and playing with his gifts! The Fisher-Price barn w/farm animals from mom & dad seemed to be his favorite and he squealed when he opened it & saw what it was.

Next up on the agenda, party hats & cake:

SUNDAY - Can't believe we are heading home already today - what a fast weekend! Ben made us all breakfast this morning consisting of pancakes, toast & sausage and then my brother & I were back on the road to Milwaukee to catch our flight. We tried to take a few more pics before we left but unfortunately, Tanner was not wanting anything to do with saying "cheese"! My brother was the only one lucky enough to get a pic with Tan Man before we left:

It was a great weekend spent with family & I look forward to going back to visit them in January to meet my new niece or nephew (my sister is due Dec 2nd)! Can't wait!
