Thanksgiving Break Play Time

Thanksgiving Break Play Time
We arrived at grandma and grandpa's house on Monday afternoon.
Thank goodness we brought some of the play-yard as they are everywhere these days!



Addie loves to talk on the phone!




Addie and Alex the STL Cardinals Fans

WELCOME TO ST. LOUIS
We are in St. Louis for the Thanksgiving Holiday. Addie and Alex could not think of a better jacket to where the other night out to dinner with grandma and grandpa! Mommy and Daddy bought these jackets last fall before the babies even were born. They fit them perfectly now!
There is no such thing as getting both of them to sit still for a picture!
Go Cardinals!
I love my new jacket...

Alex is a big boy!

Kids, Elmo and Sesame Street

Over the past few weeks as stores stock up for Christmas goodies, we have discovered how much the kids really like Elmo from Sesame Street. A few weeks ago we were in Sam's and there was the new Elmo Live doll. We played it and immediately the kids were in a trance. Since then, every time we go to a store we go by the toy area and look for Elmo. The kids just smile and laugh we the see him and he starts talking or singing. Since currently, the little ones don't have an Elmo doll, we have been showing them Elmo videos on You Tube. Here is a video taken this morning of Addie while watching the Elmo Video.


The next video is of a happy and relaxed Alex who was enjoying watching Sesame Street today.
The pictures that follow were taken right afterwards. The kids have figured out the camera and when they see it they stop doing what they were doing and stare at it or come towards it.


The final video is of the little one's playing together and as you will see I was spotted and Addie came to investigate.


Finally, here are some fall shots taken earlier this week out our back door. Good thing I took the pictures when I did because things don't look like this anymore :(

Addie and Alex's First Halloween

HAPPY HALLOWEEN
Addie and Alex had a very exciting first Halloween. At first, we were not quite sure if we would take them trick or treating or not! But, since the weather was warm and they had warm outfits, we did take them out in our neighborhood. For only going to 8 houses, we were gone 2 hours! Of course, mommy and daddy will eat some of their candy this week!
In this picture, you can see how hard it was to keep their BEAR SHOES on!
Here is a picture from before trick or treating and we were already tired!
Mommy and Daddy did not take the stroller as the costumes were too bulky! Man, our backs were killing us when we got home as they are heavy to carry around for 2 hours!
Little Sister Bear!
Oh No! What are mommy and daddy thinking now?
