Halloween 2012

These smiles speak for themselves....

lots of happy kiddos 

(with bags full of candy :)

as we got together to celebrate Halloween this year.

Lydi passed on the trick-o-treating, 

opting for a nap instead, 

but joined us for festivities after!

these two took advantage of the free rides -

which is about all they could do to keep up with the older kiddos

who were sprinting from house to house...

 

Thank you Rahn family for hosting post-treating activities!

Gopher fun

A few weeks ago we were able to

introduce Noah and Hannah to a Homecoming Gopher

football tailgate and game.

Auntie Jess (and Nick) invited us to come along...

It was a bit damp that day, 

but made it through just about the first half

before getting "rained out"..

Noah had fun learning the M-I-N-N-E-S-O-T-A cheer 

(as first grade is all about spelling)

 And Hannah became a pro at yelling 

"FIRST DOWN"

with her little pom pom in hand.

The kiddos did fantastic, even better than we had expected....

which means we'll get to try to make this a fun tradition.

Go Gophers!
