Ari's Blessing and visit to Grandma-Great

Sunday was Danny's birthday and he celebrated by blessing his baby girl! It was a fun day and he did a great job on the blessing. We had Kate with us since she slept over after the H.M. concert and we still made it on time! Yea for us (at 9am after a 30 minute drive...that's pretty good!). After the meeting, we went to Dan & Stacie's for brunch. They kids opted to play in the leaves and were so cute! I had to take this picture so Zach could see himself! Now, Zach can see himself on my blog! Hi cute boy! And Makayla, that is a lovely dress! It looks darling on you! Ok, D&Kat, you two are cute, also!

Let's get out the yard and leaf equipment

One, two, three... jump!

Good job, Aidan and Elyse! (Two of the 5 babies all born within one year)

Issac and Sydney join the crowd

Now everyone in!

Enough jumping in the leaves, now let's throw the leaves!

Since we were in SL, we decided to visit Grandma-Great (Mike's 92 year old Grandma). She didn't want pictures, so I took a picture of B & Sydney in front of the birds! These birds keep us busy when the kids get too rowdy in Grandma's apartment. The other attraction is the elevator and since it's only a 2 story building, I let them ride all by themselves!

Back home, the kids decided to make out their Santa lists and here is Brandon scoping out the Toys R Us Thomas section. He stared at these train sets for a good half hour! And then, he carried the pages around for days!
