Santa!

Last week Grandpa and I took the kids to Meijer Gardens to visit Santa.  Lucia looks a little uncertain!

We walked around the Gardens to see the lights and the train. 

Today we went to the Mall to visit Santa again.  I thought Ethan might ask why Santa looks different than last week- but he didn't even notice.  An old man with a white beard dressed in red must look the same to kids!  Ethan was quite talkative today. 

Lucia, not so much.  She barely made eye contact and was answering all Santa's questions with "uh-huh."  At least she didn't cry!

Catching Up

Time has been getting away from me- so I thought I'd quickly catch up on the blog.  We had a pumpkin carving party at Aunt Kerri's before Halloween- it was a great time! I think our pumpkins turned out pretty good this year. 

Twins!  Not really- Grandma Sue decided to wear a wig to the carving party to confuse the grand kids.  You can really see the sibling resemblance when Grandma Sue and Uncle Dave have the same hair color!

Halloween flew by, here's my attempt to get the cousins in a picture together- where's Lucia?  She only sat still for 2 seconds.  

Ethan was Iron Man for Halloween.

Thanksgiving- I hardly took any pictures, but here is one of the "kids table."
