Santa at Bass Pro

I know Santa isn't in any of these pictures but i don't own a scanner so his picture with me and the kiddos is hanging on our front door. Autumn realizes who he is this year and can recognize him. She doesn't know yet that he brings presents. I struggled to hold her back in line from running up to see him ahead of our place and when it was our turn, she sauntered up in front of him about 2 feet away and just waved. During the picture both her and Dirk were very serious but once he gave her a candy cane, she felt it ok to blow a kiss and wave bye-bye. I don't have these pictures on my computer because luckily my friend Tiffany remembered her camera and I copied them off her blog with her permission of course.

This was a kid sized tent at Bass Pro. One of the many free activities you could enjoy while waiting to see Santa.

This bench was sat up after you got to see Santa and was a perfect picture opportunity spot. Autumn is showing off her candy cane. One of her favorite food groups. Byron and Dirk were admiring it too.

Zoo pictures.....

We have been going to the zoo weekly since we've had a mild winter. You can also tell by what Autumn is wearing. This day we took our friends Tiffany and Byron.

Gingerbread Houses with friends Dec 5th 2009

Daryl's cottage ...... he designed it all by himself.

We really had fun at Tiffany and Alan's house making gingerbread houses, no matter what Autumn's expression says......... I think she was all candied out : )

Some fun November pics

Autumn and Dirk just having some fun.

September slide show

a couple of pics

Autumn is 2 years old and it is quite a challenge to get her to hold still long enough to take her picture.
This is a 5 month old picture of Dirk and he wasn't sure what to think of the camera flash.

4 months already!
