Fishing and fun at the Mall

Look at the big fish I caught with Lilly.

These little rides at the Mall of America are pretty fun!

More Fun

My new piggy bank give me peanuts!

Forget about walking the plank, why not just go down the slide.

Science Museum and snuggling

Did you know the Science Museum has a free day? Well we found out the hard way. Although, Clifford the Big Red Dog is visiting right now so we had to check it out. I think Matt likes playing in the water and exploring in the nature room the best. Lately he wants to be Superman so we made him a "homemade" cape. Matt likes to play with Lilly, but when it comes to snuggling...only Bailey will do.

Valentine and Zoo

Matt had a "sweet" Valentine's Day! He received way too much candy. Mommy and Daddy had to help him finish it all. It's starting to get a little warmer too so we decided to go to the zoo. Matt loves to see all of the animals and it's not very crowded in the winter!

Is January already over? We're running out of things to do for entertainment in the winter. Bringing the snow inside gets everything wet and making our own pizzas gets a little messy. At least Matt likes to play in the "bubble jets" in the bathtub.

Ice Water

Matt has to have a cup like Mommy when we play board games.

Visits with Santa

Matt got to see Santa at daycare and at Stacy Tree Farm this weekend. He walked up to Santa and gave him a big hug, then told him he wanted presents for Christmas! He wasn't too sure about Comet, one of Santa's reindeer, but he enjoyed feeding the baby bison named Chief.

Having Fun in December

December has started out pretty busy. We celebrated Daddy and Tom's birthdays, have had a couple of visits with santa, set the tree up. I'm also getting pretty good at my roller skates.

Weekend Away

We were able to get away for a weekend for my birthday up at Grandview Lodge in Nisswa near the Brainerd area. Boy did we need it. We even drove over to Mille Lacs to see the big walley. We saw a show by Marcoux Corner (an a cappella group) that was a lot of fun and otherwise just sat around and enjoyed the fireplace in our cabin and relaxed.

Thanksgiving

Matt enjoyed thanksgiving with one of his cousins and found out he really, really, really loves pumpkin pie!

Getting Ready For Christmas

Lilly wanted to help get the wreath out and Matt was ready to give mommy ideas for Black Friday.
