Christmas Trees, Cousins, and Growing Boy

Here's a few tidbits of what we've been up to...
This past weekend we got our Christmas tree put up and decorated. It was fun to see the difference from last year in Isaac's participation with the decorating process. He even remembered some of the ornaments from last year. It was the 2nd Christmas tree he helped decorate in 2 days...helping with my parent's Christmas tree the day after Thanksgiving. He reminded us that we needed candy canes and gingerbread boys (from a Christmas story book he has) and a "beautiful bright star at the top."

Here's a fun picture from the Thanksgiving weekend at the Thompson House. Here is Isaac and David with most of the Thompson cousins.
And here's a fun picture of David. He's really starting to become a big boy...rolling over, teething, starting to sit up. We can hardly keep up!

Halloween Fun

Had to share some fun photos from Halloween. We started our festivities last Thursday when Joel took Isaac to his workplace (College of St. Scholastica) to participate in trick-or-treating and games in the student dorms. Then, over the weekend we attended a community carnival with more games and, of course, treats. By the time Halloween actually got here on Monday, we visited only a few neighbors close by. Isaac more enjoyed being at home and watching all of the "big kids" come in their costumes and help hand out candy. Of course, Isaac's pick this year was "Thomas the Train." I have a feeling we'll be wearing this around the house quite often!As for David, we didn't bring him with to any of the festivities this year. But he managed to still be cute in his "First Halloween" outfit. And he seems to enjoy watching 'big brother' in all the action.

Enjoy!
