Starting the Holiday Season

Just like last year, Colin was very excited about seeing Santa, but did not want to sit on his lap. After he was done crying, he did tell Santa what he wanted but Matt was holding him at this point. On the list so far is a bike and a basketball hoop. We are trying to potty train Colin right now, and we already have had to call Santa a couple of times to cancel his wish list because Colin wouldn't sit on the pot. So far today we have cleaned up "potty" in MANY places.

Colin had a chocolate doughnut yesterday...a lot of it is on his shirt.

Weekend Trip to Minnesota

The weekend was great! Friday morning we went to visit Grandma Steele at her school. It didn't take long for Colin to get some candy from Grandma - he had a lot fun there seeing all the big kids.

The whole clan went bowling Saturday night - Matt had a personal best...he was pretty proud.

Grandma and Grandpa Steele raked some leaves for everyone to enjoy!

Colin and Whitney hanging out together at the Summit Brewery tour. Colin and Whitney paid attention better than me, that is no surprise.

Our friend Mark Christiansen - the Iowa Hawkeyes lost, but Mark was still in good spirits!

We realized yesterday that Savannah turned 4 years old - so Matt created a "cake" for her and Colin was able to blow out the candles.

Dance Dance Dance

Colin loves to dance and sing. Here are a few of his latest moves.

Winter?

Saturday morning we woke up to about 2 inches of snow on the ground. Colin was really excited to go outside and play in it.

The cat usually stays outside, but we have let it in more lately because it was wounded by a barbwire fence we think. 20 stitches later and a Sunday trip to the vet...Nalo is doing better and had his first day out of the garage today (10 days in).
