Hey, Santa......

We got an early start to Christmas this year!

Last Saturday, Zachary, Hannah Grace and Cousin Natalie

met with St. Nicholas for breakfast!

They all seemed to have a wonderful time!

Merry Christmas!

Okay, Santa...here's the deal...

I want some Transformers, G.I. Joe, and

my dad and I want a Wii.

We've been REALLY good!

After breakfast, all the kids got to ride the carousel.

Hannah Grace loved the carousel!

It was not a good idea to try and

take her off when the ride was over!

I am not sure, but Hannah Grace

may make the naughty list for this one.

EARLY CHRISTMAS

Later that day, we went to my Aunt Rhonda's house

for early Christmas festivities.

And look, he didn't even have to wait for Santa!

Hannah Grace has this "gift" thing down cold!

She LOVES tearing up the paper.

Too bad that won't satisfy her forever...

She apparently likes it!

Thanksgiving 2009

HAPPY THANKSGIVING!

(Yes...I realize we are half-way through December...

but I've been busy! That's my excuse anyway for being late!!!)

As usual, we hosted Thanksgiving lunch at our house

with the Reinhardt's.

We always have wonderful fellowship and wonderful food!

Something to be truly thankful for.

The kids with Aunt Bekah and Cousin Ike

I think Michael was trying to be hip, cool,
fresh, pimp, fly, or whatever it is
they call it these days!!!

Go Long!

Nanny...are you SUPPOSED to be doing that???

Daddy and his slugger

Adam???

We are so blessed to have such a wonderful family

and incredible friends!

Our "cup runneth over"!

Random Acts of Cuteness

For a change of pace, I thought I would just add

a few pics of some cute moments, by two

(in their Daddy's opinion)

of the cutest kids on the planet!

Things That Go "Bump" In The Night

Not exactly a scary creature, but Granddad and "Spiderman"

kicked off the Halloween season by Granddad

having lunch with Zachary at school.

Zachary's teacher, Ms. Teri, did the face painting...

...awesome!

Zachary's Halloween party with his karate class.

Here they are turning one Mommy into a Mummy!

At least he made contact...

Happy Halloween, girls!

Getting ready to carve the pumpkin

Mom and Zach clean out the seeds,

which we roasted for a tasty treat!

Zachary helped me draw the face...

but ditched me when it was time to carve!

Heading out to Downtown Newton's

Halloween Festival

In case you're wondering...

...No, it didn't go in.

Trick-or-Treating at Granddad's

I wish she would ALWAYS be satisfied

with a pile of tissue paper!!!

The loot

FALL FESTIVAL AT

CLAREMONT ELEMENTARY

Ms. Audrey

This was a HUGE crocodile!

Zach slid down it about 20 times!

We enjoyed our Halloween festivities and Hannah Grace's first time out!

Happy Halloween to all! And to all a Fright Night!
