ELVES DAY #6

Kinda cold in here!

VISITING SANTA

Our annual trip over to Bass Pro to see the "real" Santa.

 

I was very proud of Violet this year. This is the first time she would actually open up and talk to Santa. She had an actual conversation with him,

 

 

Don't let this photo fool you. Gryphin is still not walking. Will walk with assistance. It usually doesn't last long and he goes limp to the floor.

ELVES DAY #5

Some how they got trapped behind the fireplace screen. Looks like they dropped their rope.

ELVES DAY #4

 

I don't think I trust Cheeseburger Cookie (named by Violat @ age 2).

Not nice.

ELVES DAY #3

Clearly one of our elves is a rule breaker.

 

ELVES DAY #2

They went a little crazy with the post-its.

 

ELVES DAY #1

Our elves showed up. No mischief today. They brought an Advent calendar for Violet and Gryphin.

ONE YEAR PHOTO BOOK

Gryphin's One Year book arrived while we were gone. Very happy with it. Even happier that I got it done.

LONG THANKSGIVING WEEKEND

Cousins.

 

Eating his weight in mashed potatoes. 

 

 

 

Kids table.

 

 

 

On friday we heard Santa was flying into St.Louis on a helicopter to a strip mall near Grandma's house.We thought we'd go check it out.

 

Really cool seeing a helicopter fly in and land.

  

Go kind of windy.

 

 

  

Friday night we left Gryphin at Grandma's and headed to Anheuser Busch to see some Christmas lights.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Then we ended the weekend with playing at Bounce U with extended cousins and cousins and get some yummy Italian for dinner.
