Waiting For Andrew

A Rare picture in the cart and sitting down!!! We rather walk!! You can see the leg coming up and it wasn't long he was no longer sitting
Who needs rides when theres so much to see!!

Other Rides!

It was pretty cool that they had lots of rides to go on and things to do. Jonathan was a little too young to do them but Andrew sure had fun!!

The Slide!!

Andrew's favorite thing to go on!

The Garden Factory Outlet

I thought we would check this place out as it had alot going on for the holidays and I never have been. We had lots of fun, there was aa holiday light show and lots of things to see
And great places to take pictures
I just love watching Jonathan discover Christmas, All the shiny things that catch his interest

The BIg Helper and well.......

Andrew putting on the last ornament
And Jonathan pulling some down. See the gate in the background. That's why the tree is not in the front window. I can pull the gate and don't have to fight with him every minute about getting into the tree.

While the baby Nap

Time to decorate the tree....Like I was going to do this when he was awake?!!?
Andrew my big helper putting on the ornaments. He'll tell you he did it all himself (LOL) I did abandon him to hang the lights outside

What is This!?!?

A tree in a box!?!?

Family Photo....

Of course Jonathan had other ideas than to take a picture

A Little Young..

Okay grandma he's too young to be bellying up to the bar

Someone New

Okay I'm getting use to sitting on the red guys lap but who are you!?!?

Mrs Claus got a turn to hold him as he was just staring at her

Breakfast With Santa

We went to Applebee's this morning for breakfast with Grandma
Surprisingly Jonathan was good and loved eating the pancakes up. I think he ate most of mine

Getting Treats

Getting a brownie! I was a bit disappointed this year with Christmas in the city. In years past it has been extended past the mall outside and there was bonfires and dogsleds or a community center or something else was open too. Not this year, and the sad part is this was probably the warmest one we went to and would have been nice to have those things to go to.

taking a break...

Seeing Christy

Christmas in The City

Jonathan wanted nothing to do with his stroller. He wanted to be out and about and greating people whom thought he was adorable toddling around in a santa hat. That's if they saw him and was worried he would be stepped on
Andrew watching the trains and the boy next to him is in his class at school so he had a buddy there
Making a card!

10 MONTHS OLD TODAY!!!

Where does the time go!?!?! Aww My baby is growing up WAY too fast!!

THe Stump....

There was big wholes from were the termites chewed it up

Good Bye Tree

This morning the trucks pulled up and it was time to take down the tree that we complained to the city about for more than a year. Its a pain gettin in and out of the driveway not to mention makes me nervous on those windy days that I think a branck is going to destroy part of the house or the car. Problem was they came at 7:10 and set up. Cars still in driveway, Andrew's bus wasn't hear yet and we had something going on at 8 :30 this morning (final test for the insulation: end Energy audit) Of course not really dressed to deal with this
Jonathan checking out the handy work outside

The Trucks had the "picker uppers" on them. It took them about an hour and 20 minutes todo the whole project
