A visit with Uncle Tom!!
On the eve of a record breaking Christmas snow storm the Family Braved a trip to Minneapolis to visit Uncle Tom and celebrate the Holiday. Tom served a dinner incorporating the flavors of the Alsace-Lorraine region of France and it's German culinary influence.
Ginger bread house.
Noah and Mommy Made a Ginger bread house, complete with icicle icing. Noah wanted to use heavy equipment such as bulldozers and loaders, but it was not required.
No showed off his house to every one that came to visit!!! He was so Proud....slowly and mysteriously the candy was missing from the house as the days and weeks went on.

Time to get the Christmas tree.
Time to get the Christmas tree. The family went out to Scandia, Minnesota to get a tree this year. We went to the covered bridge tree farm on a morning that it had snowed just a little. A bit wet, but the spirit was in the air as we were undeterred by the conditions. Noah was sure to have found the most perfect tree in the lot. He helped daddy make sure he was cutting down the tree in the correct manner and then helped him get it to the truck.

Happy Halloween
Halloween was a exciting time for Noah. He was looking forward to being a fire fighter for at least 2 months. Noah went to the Anoka Parade and hung out with one of his (many) girlfriends Jordan. Noah so impressed the fireman at the parade that one of them gave him the shirt off his back.....a t shirt to celebrate the Halloween capital of the world.....Anoka, Minnesota!!!!

Fall fun #1
What a beautiful state we live in! Fall up here is a time to be celebrated. Farms are in full swing and Noah gets a chance to visit them. He enjoys the animals he sees: Llamas, cows sheep pigs. all of them. he loves to get out and go to a Farm. That gene in him is firmly attached. he is a reflection of some of his celebration of the fall farm.
Fall Fun #2
What a wonderful fall we had despite the cold and wet temperatures; Noah was able to get out and enjoy the best of it. Noah played in the yard with a big pile of leaves that seems to get bigger every year. He went to a variety of local farms that "open" up this time a year to celebrate the fall harvest. He played outside for long hours when ever the weather let him.
