Holiday Photos

Here are a few of this year's family photos. Maddon still isn't too sure about smiling for pictures, but did manage to give us a couple when we let him sit by his brother. Those two are too funny together!

Happy St. Nicholas Day

This year Mason was excited to help Maddon put his shoes out for St. Nicholas. The boys enjoyed running down to see what they got and opening their gifts together!

South Bend Cubs

We went to the stadium of the South Bend Cubs to check out their holiday festivities last weekend. Grandma Connie and Papa Randy met us there to visit and have lunch before we headed home. The boys had a lot of fun and were glad to see their grandparents again!

Indiana Thanksgiving

Since I was on call Thanksgiving this year, Devin and the boys went to Indiana to spend the holiday with his parents. The boys had a blast at Grandma Connie and Papa Randy's house. They loved getting to see them and play with all of daddy's old toys. Mason has been asking to go back ever since he got home!

Jammer time!

Santa

In keeping with tradition, we made our annual trip to see Santa and have lunch at Rainforest Cafe this past weekend. We've been doing this ever since Mason's first Christmas! We didn't get a smile out of Maddon (no surprise), but he didn't scream or cry either!!

School Pictures

This year Mason's school used a new photographer. I'm not a fan of the use of props, but oh well! Here is his official pic!

Halloween

This year Mason wanted to be Darth Vader for Halloween so the boys decided that Maddon just HAD to be Yoda. I wasn't too thrilled with this, but I must admit that he made a cute little Yoda! He had fun trick or treating and seemed to get the hang of it. After a few houses he was saying bye bye to everyone. The weather was kinda crummy so luckily both boys had fairly warm costumes. They both got plenty of loot before heading back to grams for dinner.

Our boys (Maddon had no desire to sit still)

The boys worked together to carve pumpkins. We weren't too sure how much Maddon would enjoy scooping out the guts, but he seemed ok with it as long as we let him eat them! Mason, on the other hand, was less intrigued than last year!
