Tanque Verde Guest Ranch part 3

This morning was Chris' Christmas party for work. Chris wasn't so happy that it was on a Sunday, but it turned out to be more fun then we thought. In any case, I can hear Chris watching the Bears and it doesn't sound like he likes football anymore.

Autumn was not scared at all to pet the horses.
Dean was not impressed by the horses.

Autumn and Brian (her birthday twin, born less than 3 hrs apart)

This picture looks familiar, only this time insert Dean

My buddy

We let him eat about 3 leaves so I could get this picture.

The next golf champion?
Don't cross your fingers.

But perhaps Autumn has a career in the rodeo...here she is roping a bull

Hanging out with Brother bear.

Just being Autumn

They also had some classic cars in the parking lot. Sorry Pappa Wayne, you missed out!

Aren't they lovely?

Santa Picture 2011

We made our annual trip to Park Place mall so we could take a picture with Santa! Autumn tested the naughty or nice meter, and was shocked to see that she has been nice all year. She asked this Santa for a new bike, since she asked the one in Chicago for a doll already.

Also they raised the price on the pictures and didn't give as many....boo Christmas.

Michigan Trip part II

After we visited Great Grandma Jean we returned to Aunt Robin's house to find Cousins....lots and lots of Cousins, and a nice surprise visit from Aunt Penny as well.

After they got all their energy out they returned upstairs for cookies, pie, and cake

but only after they finished their dinner
