Thanksgiving

For Thanksgiving we took our first road trip with both girls up to Minnesota.  They both did very well considering we only had a few stops along the way, although we discovered that Zoe does not like traffic jams.  It was a nice long weekend.  We saw our first snowfall of the season.  Ralph was a hit, as always, with Amelia.  We ventured to the Mall of America the day after Thanksgiving, although no shopping, just rides.  Amelia was very brave and went on the high swings and the log ride (with her hands over her eyes).  The trip ended with a trip to see Santa and two of his reindeer.

Our attempts at a Christmas card picture were met by this attitude from Zoe :)

Looking through the Black Friday ads.  

Tour de Lights

As the weather wasn't too cold, we took the girls to the Tour de Lights this year.  It's a charity walk around the Jolly Holiday Lights the weekend before they open to cars only and is a great way for us to kick off the holidays.

Halloween

It's a little late, but we wanted to share our pictures from Halloween.  Candy Corn Amelia and Daddy went around the neighborhood while Zoe, Mummy, and Grandma Marilyn were in charge of handing out goodies.

Amelia had her fall program at pre school around the same time.  Unfortunately our video camera broke just as her program was starting, so we used our cell phone video camera.  Since we couldn't zoom in on the phone we put a white box about 10 seconds into each video highlighting Amelia.
