Visiting Santa

Took the kids to see Santa the other night - Grace and Santa had a good chat before we added Adam to his lap. But there is no way that I could've captured the shot of Adam and Santa this way if I wanted to - it was pure luck!

Busy Weekend

We have been preparing for the holidays and celebrating birthdays this weekend.

Saturday started with our annual outing to find a Christmas tree. Grace and Adam picked out the perfect one and then they stole Santa's sleigh for a joyride :)

After that we went to Cannon's Boot Camp birthday party. Grace played army and seemed to enjoy it. How do you respond when your six-year-old little girl says "Mom where's my gun"??

Of course the weekend wasn't complete until we celebrated Grace's 6th birthday. Sunday was her day! We opened presents, watched her new movie, went out to dinner and had cake. Hard to believe she's 6!

Grace's Birthday Party

We celebrated Grace's 6th birthday last night with 22 of her friends at Build a Bear. It was a fun night complete with Little Caesar's Pizza and cake from Nona's Sweets. All the kids made a friend - most were bears - to take home and seemed to have a great time. Hopefully they all slept really well for their parents!
