Getting Ready for Christmas

Two weeks ago, we took Charlotte to see Santa and it was a debacle. She wouldn't even let me hold her next to Santa, much less sit on his lap. Today, Charlotte got nervous when we got close to Santa, but Mommy handed Santa a lollipop to give to Charlotte. Problem solved. Cha-Cha jumped onto his lap, laid her head on his chest, and told him that she loved him once she got that Tootsie Roll Pop in her hand.

Grey likes Santa fine but has another Christmas quandry: how to fit his pumpkin head into this tiny Santa hat.

Joy to the World ...

... that these are my children. I love you so very, very much, my little ones.

Pre-Thanksgiving Fun

Keeping with our day-before-Thanksgiving tradition, we (Charlotte, Grey, and I--Adam always has to work) went down to Hermann Park to ride the little red train and feed the ducks in the pond. Since it was 80 degrees this year, it was an especially enjoyable day.

This was Grey's first time on the train. Hard to tell if he liked it or not.

Charlotte, however, wears her delight openly on her sweet little face!

Thank You, Biz Markie

Thanks to "Biz's Beat of the Day" on Yo Gabba Gabba, my daughter has developed a healthy appreciation for rap music. Look out, Kanye and Jay-Z!

October Catch-Up

Okay, so I am just now getting around to posting this stuff from over a month ago. This two-kid life is really cutting into my blogging time! (Sorry there are no pics of Grey in the pumpkin suit, but it was just too warm to make him wear fleece on Halloween.)

At two months, Little Buddah was already busting out of his 3-month pants.

For those of you who don't think my kids really look alike, check out this picture. Same blue eyes, same round little heads, flat noses, bell-shaped mouths, pointy chins. So cute!

Charlotte enjoyed a package full of fun Halloween stuff from her Mimi.

All four babies in this picture--all in our ward at church--were born within the same week in August. Crazy!

Charlotte started out Halloween in a bad mood ...

But Grammy got her feeling better, and ...

The airplane ride at our community's Fall Festival really made her day!

She also enjoyed the pony ride, as long as Grammy stayed right by her side.
