Christmas

Inside the Holiday train

This tree was huge but I think the one at Crown Center was even bigger, unfortunately my camera died!

A gingerbread village! There was a sign that said how much of each ingredient was used (like 150 lbs of sugar)- I wish I would have taken a picture of it, it was unbelievable!

Eating Gammy's banana bread- YUMMY!

Sweet little Mary- our Joseph didn't want to be in the picture.

We went to Union Station a week before Christmas and saw their holiday train- so cool and so much fun! While we were there we went to Crown Center as well which was equally as impressive! Both are  a new Christmas tradition for the next 4 years! We went to the Bass Pro Shop as well to see their Holiday setup- the kids loved it!! All the REAL stuffed animals were amazing! I guess I had just never really been in a store like that before. Christmas itself was good besides the fact that we were all sick! Eye infections, coughs, congestion... in Gavin's words, "Gross!"

Random Pics

Gavin LOVES to sit with his Dad while he studies! And I love it too!

Rielly pushes Gavin in this truck, even though he barely fits in it.

Nothing better than a box from Sam's Club!

Thanksgiving

I didn't get any pictures at Richard's of actual Thanksgiving dinner of course- I am so forgetful! But I did get some of us at the Plaza lights that night. A balmy 60 degrees too! (They said last year it was 19!) The pictures aren't as impressive as it was in person, but you get the gist. The kids loved the music and the fireworks!

Chris is 29!

He wanted orange rolls for breakfast- so we put a candle in one for him! Then we went to the JC Children's Museum- we had talked so much about it, Chris had to see it for himself! The kids just LOVE going there- so much to do, and it is all so fun!! Chris is such a good Dad!!!

Crazy Kids

 Gavin LOVES these boots- even though they are 2 sizes too big! He wants to wear them all the time!  Chris thinks he looks like a little Ryan! Thank you Aunt Addie!

 More fun stuff from Aunt Addie! I guess the ipod was too bright so she needed her sunglasses? Or maybe she is just a fashionista!

I don't know how much brushing he actually does, but he has the got the spitting down to an art!

Halloween

Since the kids were dentists Chris decided he would be their patient (nice teeth huh?). Rielly even took her syringe to the Trunk-or-Treat so that she could give him shots! This year was the first year we went trick-or-treating to actual houses, and Rielly was a little timid at first, but after the first few houses she was good to go (get more candy!)

Dance, Dance, Dance

The kids LOVE to dance! When any sort of beat comes on they both start shaking what their momma gave them!
