Mickey's Road Show

One of my girls favorite things to do is to go to Disney shows. We went to one last Sunday at the Xcel- Mickey's Road Show. The girls loved it and had a great time, despite Kaylie not feeling well! Mama and Papa came with us and enjoyed the fun too! Next up- Disney on ice. They are especially excited for this years Disney on Ice because it is all about princesses. Here are a few pictures from the show.

Annual Trip to Apple Orchard and Pumpkin Patch

This weekend we did our annual apple orchard and pumpkin patch visit. We FINALLY had a nice weekend to do it. With the cold temps. and the snow lately, I thought we wouldn't get this visit in but thankfully Saturday was beautiful! We went and took pictures at the pumpkin patch first and then went to the apple orchard. The girls had fun looking around and wanting their picture taken by everything. As we left the place, Maddie exclaimed "I had a great day!" and that makes all these little trips worth it in the end.





Maddie looking at the sheep. My kids are defintely not animal people, which is fine by me. They didn't want to feed or pet the animals there and they hardly wanted to go near them because of their smell. I guess I need to get them in the country more often!




Have to get a picture by the pink tractor every year!










Trip to Apple Orchard

We took in the beautiful day to spend at the Apple orchard as well! The girls enjoyed picking apples, going on a hayride, and looking at all the animals. It was a fun day and the girls really enjoyed it!

Sports, Sports, and more Sports!


Our little Twins fans
I feel like our household has revolved around sports games lately!! Between the Twins and the Packers, Ryan has been glued to the T.V. or spending his days at the Metrodome! It's fun though and it's fun to watch the girls get into it! They were so excited when the Twins won on Tuesday. It was cute to see them jumping around and getting just as excited as daddy, well almost I guess. I don't know if any one person can be as excited as Ryan was that night!



Enjoying the Packer game with Papa Ronnie

Guess it's even better that it wasn't.

Kaylie's first friends birthday party

Last Friday, Kaylie had her first official friend's birthday party! She had 6 little girls over and they seemed to have a great time! I forget what a bunch of little girls together is like! They were definetely busy! Kaylie really enjoyed herself and had a great time having her friends from Kindergarten over. We were super busy and the night went fast! We made trick or treat bags for their candy on Halloween, made princess crowns, had dinner, and played a few games. Here are a few pictures from the party.
