Here comes Christmas!

 The annual Christmas Parade!

 Gingerbread houses at the library... Grace's was more of an ARMY fort this year.

Grace and her beloved "Lukie."  I found this little Christmas bear when I was taking out decorations.  He is meant to hold a gift card around his neck and be given as a gift.  For whatever reason Grace has fallen in love with him.  He goes everywhere with her, waits in the car while she's at school or she leaves specific instructions for Daddy to take care of him while she's away.  He has prime location in the sleeping quarters and needs kisses goodnight.  She lovingly calls him and her bunny, her kids.  Too precious. 

November...

 This is what happens when Mommy leaves her tea sitting on the floor the night before and then her toddler finds it in the morning.  Andrew was pretty impressed with peppermint I  guess, he ate most of the tea leaves in the bag!

 Grace is getting closer with Roxy everyday!

 Andrew loves to sit with Daddy and watch sports! Daddy loves it too!

Happy turkey day!!! So adorable!

Happy Halloween...

Fall Fun...

 My little tourist!

 Andrew loved crawling around with this "helmet" on for a few weeks, hilarious!

HAPPY 1st BIRTHDAY ANDREW!

 His hair is nicely greased with loads of frosting... he loves cream cheese frosting!

 Andrew's vegetable of choice for a while.  He would just take little nibbles out of my zucchini's.  Amazing how you find such delight in the most random things when you have children!

1st TRAIN RIDE

We took the kids on a foliage tour one Sunday morning.  What a wonderful time!

Cousins & Storyland...

In July we had a great visit with our cousins, Alicia and Carl Jr.  We went out to dinner, the kids played together super well and truely enjoyed each other's company.  Pretty good for their first time meeting!

 This was the most darling thing, watching Alicia play the pink guitar with her adorable hippie dress!

 All the girls!

 ...and the boys!

STORYLAND 2010

We went to Storyland with Papa and Meme in July.  We had a great day with Matt, Faith, Grace, and Andrew.  They kids were perfect the entire day.  They went on almost every ride, got treats from Papa of course, watched a fun circus and even got Papa to go on a ride!
