Lenderinks Tree Farm

Our annual trip to Lenderinks Tree Farm to cut down our family Christmas tree. We started this tradition when we were first married and look forward to it every year. The kids love it. It's so fun to find our tree, cut it down, ride the tractor and of course drink hot chocolate with lots of marshmallows.

Sitting by the fire after cutting down the tree.

Who needs hot chocolate? I'm quite happy with the marshmallows.

Santa Parade

This is our 2nd annual Santa Parade. This year was Drew's first year. We were much more prepared this year with blankets and bags for candy. Although it was much, much colder this year. We booked it out of there the second it was over.

Fall Preschool Activities

Hailey absolutely loves preschool and she has a fabulous teacher, Mrs. Decker. They do so many fun things. One thing I forgot to take a picture of is her Mayflower boat that she made. After making them, Mrs. Decker took the kids to the creek behind her house so they could float them in the water.

Picking apples at Klackle's Orchard in the Fall. They also enjoyed picking out pumpkins, the petting zoo, and of course cider and donuts!

Indian Day...obviously.

Pilgrim and Indian Day where they got to dress as either one. I was quite happy that I was able to piece together a cute outfit without purchasing or borrowing.


Silly Hat Day!

God's creatures.

Drew's 2nd birthday

Drew had a blast tearing into all his gifts this year. He enjoyed helping daddy put together his new workbench.


Enjoying his new water bottle...in a stylish way.

So excited about his Spiderman cake. He really loved picking it out all by himself at the store.

Halloween 2010

My cute little ladybug...

and construction worker!

Drew loved being like the big kids. He got a lot more candy than the other kids because after he would get a piece of candy, sometimes he would just stand there smiling. So many ladies gave him more because he was so cute! He started to just expect them to give him a second piece. Nice job buddy!

This is what happens when Drew lets Hailey play dress up with him. He wants to play everything Hailey does right now.
