Christmas Day 2009

Too many pictures and I can't choose which ones to post, so here is a quick collage. We had a great Christmas morning...even without power for the first 2 hours of the morning. Alex and Aubrey loved seeing their gifts. Alex loved his train swirling track and Aubrey loved everything.

Opening Pajamas on Christmas eve

After we got back from Christmas Eve church service, Alex and Aubrey got to open their Christmas pajamas. Aubrey got Dora pajamas and Alex got Thomas the Train pajamas. They were very excited.

Dave's Mom visit

Here is a picture of Dave, his mom, Aubrey, and Alex.
Alex and Aubrey were not in the best of moods during our excursion out of the house.

Haircut time

Alex and Aubrey got a haircut from Dad. Alex got more cut off than Aubrey.

Our first trip to Santa this year.

Here is our first trip to see Santa this year. As you can see, Alex loved seeting Santa. On the other hand, Aubrey had a completely different thought about the whole thing.

Aubrey Dancing

Aubrey loves to dance. Whenever music comes on, she starts to dance. Doesn't matter where we are. Here is one of her favorite songs. "Clap Your Hands" by They Might Be Giants. See her dance...

Aubrey's One Socked Dancing from Neala n Dave on Vimeo.

She also doesn't like to wear socks. In this video, she managed to keep one on. Oh, and Alex would much rather play with his cars and trains than dance. Although every once in a while, he will dance with Aubrey.

Opening Halloween Cards

Alex and Aubrey really enjoyed opening their Halloween Cards from Grammie

(I am not sure why these turned out so fuzzy. I have since messed with my camera a bit and hopefully the next ones wont be so fuzzy.)

Slacking

I know it has been a couple weeks since my last pictures were posted. I am sure that Aunt Andrea and Aunt Kendra are getting anxious for some new ones. Hopefully I will have time this week to put some new ones up.

Halloween Evening

Jessie, Neala, and Aubrey.
We took a stop by Jessie and Joey's house before we went trick or treatings.

Farmer Dave and all his pumpkins.

We went by the Calder and Tessa's house before trick or treating and we attempted to get a picture of the group, but as you can see, Alex was not cooperating.
Here is Jaiden, Sandhya, Tessa, Calder, Alex (trying to get down), and Aubrey.

Halloween Party

Pumpkin Carving

Dave helped Alex and Aubrey carve a pumpkin this morning.

Our First Baking Lesson

Alex and Aubrey cut out and decorated their first sugar cookies for Halloween. We had a good time and they were even edible.

They think the best part of making cookies is eating them...yum...yum.

Visit to Larryland

Last weekend, all of us went to St. Mary's, MD to spend the weekend with some friends, Larry, Dan, and Katrina. We had a great time. Alex and Aubrey enjoyed their visit and Dave and I did too.

Fall Festival Fun

We had a great time at a Fall Festival on Friday. The weather was perfect and we all had a great time!


Alex had a great time on the hayride.

Great family fun!

Aubrey likes to have one strap unhooked on her overalls. Not sure why!

Aubrey's feet!

Fall Fun at the Pumpkin Patch

We took a trip to a pumpkin patch this weekend. Dave and I picked out a pumpkin and Alex and Aubrey had fun picking out some gourds. Aubrey really liked the gourds with all the bumps on them. I think those ones are kinda gross myself.

Bandana Time

Aubrey loves having a bandana on her head. We put it on....she takes it off....we put it back on. Sometimes she "asks" us to put one on Alex. He doesn't seem to mind.

Working on the farm

Alex and Aubrey had a great time at a local farm last weekend. They got to see lots of animals, sit on a small tractor, and play at the playground. Oh, also, there were some local people playing folk/bluegrass music on the porch. Aubrey had great time dancing along and Alex was amazed at how they playing that great music.

Our "new" wagon

Here is a wagon I found at a consignment sale. We have taken if for a couple rides around the neighborhood. They love it.
