Santa are you reading this?

Just in case Santa is reading our blog...Jack really wants this helicopter for Christmas :)  We were shopping for the giving tree at Jack's school and he spotted this helicopter.  I think it's the first time that we have gone to the store that he has really wanted something (or even asked to buy it!), but there was not an issue when it was mentioned that maybe he should remember this toy when he visits Santa.  We did have to take a picture just in case Santa wasn't sure which helicopter it was and if Santa doesn't have any available in his toyshop he should check out Meijer!

Miss J and the new wreath for the front door!

Red and White (Lights!)

Jack and Daddy spent the entire day yesterday putting lights in our tree out front!  I am not sure that Jason realized what a big project it actually was!  Our street was assigned red and white lights for the front trees and I think the tree was a little bit taller than Jason realized, but he amazingly got them pretty high (I will have to take a picture in the dark!).  We have never lived in a subdivision that is so organized (even holiday decorating!) and with so many trees!

Cheese & George

Where did this cheesy grin come from?

Julia opened some early Christmas presents and he got a new high chair for Bitty Baby, but since BB was in IL she made do with George...looks like feeding him is serious business!

Thanksgiving 2011

We spent Thanksgiving at Ma & Pa's...

Impression 5

We had a great time in Michigan last week!  Our first stop...Impression 5 with our buddy Isaac!

Our little mall walkers!  Julia leads the way...

The day wouldn't be complete without our trip to Subway!

The Look!

I really need to start taking pictures of the many expressions of Julia...she is the master of "the look"!  Here's the  "are you kidding me"/"you can't be serious" look...

The Field Museum - Chicago

Our adventure for this weekend was meeting Sue at The Field Museum!

Jack has been studying dinosaurs at school so he was excited to see Sue...

J & J had fun with the corn in the children's area...

...but I think the highlight was playing the the instruments!

It was a quiet drive home :)
