Fun in the Twin Cities

A visit with Great-Grandma in Windom...

Ryan and Becca's Wedding in the Cities!

A day in Stillwater, MN - super fun and quaint little town.  

A paper store - my happy place.

An oil and vinegar shop.  Lots of free samples and so, so yummy.

Fried, Green Tomatoes and lunch at a Pirate Caribbean BBQ Joint - featured on one of our favorite shows - Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives!

 Mark's Happy Place - A hat store....  And fun at Mall of America's Lego Land.  PLEASE, Jesus, let Will like Legos when he grows up.  Please?

Will browsed the Toys R Us catalog with Grammy Pammy to figure out what he wanted for Christmas.  He paid special attention to the train set and Elmo.

The Rainforst Cafe with our little buddy!

Will wanted to explore the jungle a bit.

Lots of giggles and smiles!  Ready to go home!

Hooray for Christmas Trees and Snow!

This happened on Tuesday.  

It also SNOWED on Tuesday.

Oh, didn't you get the memo?  Christmas trees are fair game from November 1st until President's Day.

(The first year we were married, I kept the tree up until spring, so this is a compromised negotiated season per Mark's demand request.)

The Lord affirmed my Putting-Up-The-Christmas-Tree Festivities by giving us a few inches of snow.  

There is much to celebrate, friends.  Enjoy the season!

Baby to Boy

I think my little baby just turned into a little BOY.  What the heck.
