Helping Mom with the spice rack

A little fun at Julianna's B-day

John spent most of his time at the party with his favorite...hotwheels!

We visited the most wonderful Santa-actually a "Father Christmas" this morning. The neighborhood Lion's club had a pancake breakfast so we went to check it out. Father Christmas had a real beard and everything, he really was quite perfect down to the twinkle in his eye.

not too sure about something....

We ran into Julianna there...what a beauty she is--inside and out!

Julianna had a pony ride, John wasn't interested..

What a goof

Nice shirt!

On a sad note, today we mark Jake's passing. A wonderful companion to Wilder and Nancy, a sweet soul. Good dog Jake! We will miss you.

It's beginning to look alot like Christmas...

Our first visit with Santa was awesome. John wasn't scared and even cracked a little smile for us.
I guess he's already figured out it's beneficial to be nice to Santa!

Happy Thanksgiving!

Lots of Pictures!
We had a nice relaxing Thanksgiving and ate lots of turkey and everything else. We went to Grandma and Grandpop's for the day. It was a little rainy and gray but not too cold. John didn't try the turkey...still a little picky with food. Onto the pics...
