Christmas Photos

The kids have had a great Christmas season! We've enjoyed spending time with all of our family. Today (the 26th) we are enjoying staying home and playing with our new toys.

Santa's Housecall

The kids had an exciting night last night. Santa was in town visiting kids at the mall, and when he got done he decided to visit some kids at their houses. Lucky us, he came to Grace and Jacob's house! He even brought the kids a little gift to open before Christmas. Taylor really likes him, but Charlie is not a fan.

Breakfast with Santa

Taylor had Breakfast with Santa today with her cousin, Grace. As soon as Santa came to our table she reached out her arms and let him hold her. It was very cute. She told him she wanted a little phone for christmas. He asked her if she'd leave him some cookies on Christmas Eve.

Happy Thanksgiving

The Williams family had a great Thanksgiving. This is the only picture we took, but it turned out nicely...

Catch

This is how Taylor entertains Charlie while I'm cleaning his tray.

Dress up

The kids liked playing in my closet while I was getting my winter clothes out (finally) and putting the summer ones away.

Yes, Taylor's clothes are on backwards, but you try telling her that...

Kids playing

The kids love the playground at the Dayton Mall. We were there today for a kids concert, but got the time wrong so we just played. Taylor's getting braver and braver now that she's three...

Dinnertime Fun

Here's a few pictures from tonight's dinner. Charlie likes italian food.


I don't know what Taylor was trying to do here.



I noticed Charlie dancing when I was so I grabbed the video camera.

Happy Halloween

The kids had a great halloween at grandma's house. Taylor and Mommy went trick or treating while Charlie helped pass out candy with Grandma.

More Fall Fun

This is Taylor posing in front of our scarecrow before going to the zoo.

Taylor and Grace had a great time going to Hallzooeen. Their favorite part was watching the elephants chump a pumpkin.

On Sunday we went to Scappacher Farm in Mason. Charlie liked the big pumpkins.

Both kids enjoyed the hayride.

Mommies favorite part was going to a real pumpkin patch!

(Taylor was excited about feeding animals. That's why she'd holding a carrot)

How cute is this.

Taylor was not afraid one bit of feeding the sheep, ponies and donkeys.

Parky's Farm Pumpkin Patch

The kids went to Parky's Farm today for some Fall/Birthday fun!

We road a hayride to get to the pumpkin patch.

Taylor found little pumpkin that was the perfect size for her to carry.

Charlie thought it looked like a good size for him too.

Afterwards we went to the petting zoo. Taylor said the goats felt cold. This goat took a particular interest in Charlie and vice versa.

Happy Birthday to us

The kids had a great time at their birthday party!

Everyone liked pin-the-tail on the donkey. (Taylor got hers exactly on it. Hmmmm...)

Mommy made special shirts for them to wear.


They got lots of fun new toys, games, books and clothes.

Mommy made an Elmo cake and Sesame Street cupcakes.

We sang Happy Birthday twice (Once for each of them)

Charlie loved his first taste of sugar.

The whole family had a great time.

Outtakes

Here's some outtakes from today's photo session:

Nothing like a sneeze to ruin a photo.

Charlie's saying "that's enough"

This is just to show my kids don't usually stand around angelically smiling and holding hands.

He couldn't get enough of those pumpkins!
