the best birthday gift- BLOCKS!!

Grandma and Grandpa gave the kids some awesome building blocks for their birthday. They turned out to be the hit of the weekend. The kids AND grown-ups all love them. Hopefully the blocks will keep the kids entertained for hours and hours... :)
Timothy & Ellen built a castle and some "sweet jumps"
Hannah knocked over everything she could

Then the big boys got involved. They spent a better part of the afternoon seeing who could build the tallest tower. Adam's tower ended up being 6 ft 1 in. Uncle John got one up to 6 ft 5 in BUT...


Grandpa beat them both with a tower of 6 ft 5 1/2 in tall. Maybe it helped that he was the tallest himself???

Luke found his own tape measure to check out the height as well.

Blocks are great fun! Empty boxes make great blocks for building really big things, too. I love the way you took your pictures! They look really, really tall!
