December

It took me almost all month but here it is: December In Pictures.
We started the month by cutting down our Christmas Tree.


Then we decorated the tree. Anthony was really excited about the ornaments this year.


Elliot is enjoying his first Christmas.

I LOVE matching PJS!

SNOWED-IN - This is what 16 inches of snow looks like.



Daycare Christmas Show- Anthony's class sang Feliz Navidad this year.


Our Snowman

By the way-you can still cut the grass with 16 inches of snow on top.

Elliot liked Santa- Anthony wouldnt go anywhere near him!

The Gempeler Christmas.

We found out that Elliot loves ice cream! He was screaming when it was all gone.

Elliot's 8 month update

Elliot is now 8 months old! I tried putting him on the scale and he is around 26 lbs. Anthony doesnt have to share clothes yet. Anthony must have grown too because he is finally fitting in his 3T clothes (except for the pants-maybe next year). Elliot is doing lots of standing and he is crawling fast. We have to "re-babyproof" the house and get out the gates. Here are the latest pictures.

Almost standing alone

Ready to push

Standing at the toy box

Loves the Packers

No more baby bathtub (mostly because he doesnt fit in it)

Mastered the step

Standing with Elmo

And smiling all the time :)

Elliot's 7 month update

Elliot is 7 months old and is doing pretty much everything but walking! He is trying to pull himself up, crawling, waving, saying "ma-ma" which was really scary cause i turned around and thought it was Anthony but it wasnt. And he has got a new tooth coming in too. Elliot also has his first ear infection, while we were there we got a new weight ... If you guessed over 25 lbs you would be right- 25lbs and 3 oz!!




And here a a few pics from our picnic at the lake on Sunday, it was such a nice fall day.

Halloween

Halloween Party-Family Game Night








Pumpkins

Pumpkin Patch

On Wednesday we met up with our friends Emilie, Todd and Hailey at Goebberts Pumpkin Farm in Hampshire IL. It was a huge place with tons of stuff to do. Anthony was so excited, everywhere he turned was a new truck, tractor, or train to climb on. Here are just a few pictures... we took a lot, but not as many as Todd.
