trying to get pictures for Grandma and Grandpas Christmas cards

The kids all dressed up after going to get our pictures taken for our church directory

Bath time after Graham decided to use marina as a hair gel.  Addy had to join in on the fun in the tub with her brother

For those that didn't know, Addy has started a dance class once a week and loves it.  This was her first performance at a local alzheimers unit and the residents loved it.  I don't know how the teacher does it but she keeps all these 2 and 3 year olds pretty focused and they had a great time.

We made the long journey to Nebraska to spend Thanksgiving with Nana and Papa this year.  We had supper at McDonalds before heading on the rest of our trip.  While we were down there we went to a children's museum in Kearney about 45mins from Nana and Papas.  The kids had a blast so we will probably have to go back there again when we visit another time.

They had water fun,

and a grocery store,

and a train area,

and cars,

and tractor fun with daddy

a sports area,

teeter toter

and a medical area (this is addy's sad face that we sent to Grandma and Grandpa to freak them out),

a mail truck (I think he may need to grow a bit more to drive it  but he will try).  We also enjoyed the nice weather while we were down there and played in Nana and Papas yard!!

My beautiful niece Mackenna!!

This was Grahams first year of painting pumpkins and he took it very seriously but had lots of fun.  They do lots of projects at daycare so he loves playing with paint.  Then it was right to the bathtub for more fun!!

Addy also had serious plans for her two pumpkins.  The little one she had to use her sparkly paint for Stacey and then her other pants for the big pumpkin.

The finished products

It has also been an annual tradition for Addy to carve a pumpkin with Grandpa and this year she drew the face and Grandpa did his best to cut out her vision.

Addy decided she wanted to be a cat for Halloween, so naturally she thought Graham needed to be a ....

dog of course.  And this year he was happy to agree but next year may be different.

Addy also had a Halloween party at dance class and Graham had to join in the fun.  Not sure dad thinks it looks like fun.

All the kids in their costumes and Graham had to get in on the fun

Auntie Brenna and Uncle Eric had gotten this at one of their work partys a few years ago and now both kids are able to enjoy it.  The were riding all over and Addy did a pretty good job driving (though there were few obstacles in her way!)
