A weekend of fun

Written by Holli on December 7th, 2010

We traveled to Des Moines this past weekend, where Ian had a lot of fun doing many things:

Meeting his only cousin, Jackson Glenn Gregg.

Cousins!

Grandparents and Grandsons, and Granddog

Meeting a friendly, but not-so-jolly-looking Santa.

Santa and our family

Meeting my Grandpa Leaders.

Four generations

Hello, Rear View Mirror!

Beating up his dad.

Ian beats up Daddy

Hugging his mommy. I swear he was having fun.

We got a new camera! Can you tell?

The invention of the “Sneak a Drink”

Ian sometimes gets way too excited about things. For instance, see what happens WHENEVER we try to take a drink of something with him in our arms.

We have to “sneak a drink.”

Halloween Party

Written by Holli on October 26th, 2010

Ian was invited to his first Halloween party. I was surprised at how well he did, since he can sometimes be unpredictable in the evening on weekends. The other two kiddos are over a year old, so he was mostly mesmerized by watching them play I think. Still, I think he had fun. Some of the swag he received: homemade crayons in the shape of skulls, candy (he shared with mommy and daddy), stain eraser (bar of Ivory soap!), mummy decoration, Frankenstein trick or treat bag, Charlie Brown “The Great Pumpkin is Coming” shirt, sunglasses and stickers. Ian gave his friends crocheted Frankenstein dolls that his mommy made for him. We all had fun! Plus, little kids in costumes are HILARIOUS.

Frankies!

No-legged Frankies.

Dinos, bears and robots, oh my!

Each child in attendance was ecstatic to put on their costume and pose for photos.

“I really like your costume, Dino.”

Ian loves to smile
