Happy Birthday, Papa!

We were at a loss for what to get for Colin's dad for his birthday this year. He's been given every grill accessory known to man. He's been given enough books to read for years. He isn't into electronics or gizmos. So...what do you get for a man who has everything? Pictures! I took the kids to VanRaalte Farms and took pictures of them holding a "P" or "A." Then I had them printed at 2 1/2" x 3 1/2" and put them in a frame that held 4 pictures. It obviously spelled out Papa. The kids loved doing it and I think that Grandpa Papa liked it as well! Happy Birthday, Papa!

Halloween 2012

T
These are only a month (not even!) late. Whoo-hoo! Halloween was a fun night this year. Johanna was the cutest Lady Bug ever. She had a blast trick-or-treating and refused to take off the sunglasses or put her coat on. Seriously though...isn't she the cutest?Abigail wanted to be a snow princess this year. I was thrilled with that because it only involved buying a cape (which I got a great deal on by using a plum district deal)! She wore her new Christmas shoes which of course made me nervous but they stayed perfect. :)
Henry wanted to be Mario. This involved an ebay costume but it was worth it because he was so stinkin' cute! He's a perfect Mario! He wasn't into wearing the mustache though.

Apple Pictures...in late November :)

It's my blog and if I want to post apple picking pictures in late November then I will. :) We went to Crane's on September 12th with Haans, Anita, Bebe and Sylvie. I wasn't going to post these pictures because they are so old, but when I came across them the other day I decided they belong on the blog too. So...fresh from two months ago...apple/peach picking pictures...
