Finally some pictures

A fun crew!

We have a lot of special times to catch up on! We hope you enjoy all of the pictures we've gathered over the past several weeks:

The Bobsled ride at Santa Claus Land!

A few weekends ago we visited North Pole, NY  with Grammie and Pa to see Santa.  This attraction is absolutely perfect for little people and our girls had so much fun!

The Perrin's visited from Hawaii and the Schuchhardt's visited from Ohio last weekend. The Parker's joined in all of the fun and the kids all had a super fun time.  We also had visits from Maddy and Kalub.  Our girls love to play with other children so the more the merrier!

Grammie planned an 'old-school' halloween party just like from our childhood.  The grown-ups helped the kiddos get excited by dressing up too.  The kids experienced a doughnut on a string eating contest and also tried to bob for apples.  It was great fun!

The girls were our little Princesses for the day!  Claire remembers dressing up for this party so now when ever we ask her what she's going to be for halloween she says (or rather shouts) "pretty dress"!
 

Double-fisting apples!

Sleepy kitty!  Jordan loved dressing up so much
he didn't want to take off his costume!

While everyone was here we  visited Fobare's Fruits.  We've mentioned in a previous post how simply awesome this place is.  Everyone loved it!

Barefoot and loving life!

 

 

Our happy girl really hurt her finger last weekend when
she pinched it between a folding chair.  She's a trooper though!
The Dora band-aids help us keep it covered (sometimes...)

 

 

We also celebrated Claire's 2nd birthday with a Monster themed party.  It was so fun being able to enjoy our special girls day with cousins!

Aunt MJ made this fun cake.  Claire was so excited
about Monster Mike!

Birthday favors and decorations!

Claire was super excited about here green monster cake!

This weekend Caroline, Caleb, and Esme came for a visit.  The girls had so much fun playing together.  On Sunday we climbed Pinnacle Mountain in Santa Clara.  This smaller mountain is a perfect hike for children and it was an absolutely gorgeous day to enjoy the Adirondacks!

Beautiful view from the summit.  (And holding on to our busy body Claire-Bear ReAlLy close!)
