Trains '09

It’s that time again. Time to go to see the greatness of the North Park Train visit. The best part being the admission fee benefiting charity… of course, seeing the looks on the kiddos’ faces is a pretty great reward too!
Time for the trains!

The ladies stop just inside the door for an impromptu pic.
Nate was crowned shortly after entering the exhibit and surprisingly kept his engineer’s cap on throughout most of the tour.

I think I see some trains!

Daddy and Papa had took turns in showing Nate those trains above his eye level… which was about 90% of the exhibit… let’s just say Nate can get quite heavy after a while.

Mommy certainly shouldered her share of the burden… though a bit lighter.

Here is one of Daddy’s favorite pics of the day…

And here was the other… I could swear Ms. Hailey was purposefully closing her eyes to enhance her ‘bashful’ cuteness… if that’s possible.

At the end of the exhibit Daddy had to get some daddy-daughter time in!!!

What better time for a Wolfe Pack picture…

And then a pic with Grammy and Papa.

We finished the day at the food court… Grammy and Papa were such a big help as is pictured below. We always have a blast when visiting those North Park trains!

SANTA VISIT '09

Our Santa '09 visit went surprisingly well with both Wolfe pups doing their best to stay focused with neither one pitching a fit. The odds are certainly against you with a 5 month old and 2 & 1/2 year old. Of course, that shouldn't surprise us... we've been blessed with very easy-going kids... most of the time!

We got some good shots while waiting in line. Here are a few of Mommy & Hailey having fun.

Nate found all the levers while waiting in line. He definitely thought he was running the show!

Next, it was daddy's turn to get a few shots with the kiddos. And here were some unofficial shots snapped by Daddy before the pro's took their shot... not bad for an ameatur.

So what did the pro's shot look like? Here you go... not bad, huh?

LICKIN' THE BEATERS

What Holiday Season would be complete without a session of beater lickin'? Mommy is so good at baking goodies for Daddy and I that we take every chance we can get at lickin' those beaters. Below is a collection of shots where I actually got to them first... I think Mommy might have had something to do with that... I love my Mommy!!!

THANKSGIVING '09

HAPPY TURKEY DAY!
Thanksgiving is so great, who can have just one, right? SO… we had two!!
First, the Wolfe pack headed over to the cousins’ crib up in McKinney, where as you can see, they are never at a loss for finding fun!

It’s easy to see the Wolfe kids know how to make the rounds to make sure their presence is known! We always have a great time at the cousins’ place!!

Our 2nd Thanksgiving was at our place with Daddy’s side of the family. There was no shortage of fun at this shindig either!
Mommy has everything ready to go!

Great-Granny, Grandma Sally, Grandpa Tom & Dan, all take their turns visiting the littlest Wolfe pup.

…And there’s no doubt why that is… who can resist…

Meanwhile, Uncle Craig and Nate where upstairs rough-housing… and this is no joke. This pic was taken seconds before the glass in the picture was shattered to pieces! Note to self: only plastic cups upstairs from this point forward!

Here are more kodak moments of the Wolfe pups getting their doses of affection missed throughout the year.

Aunt Kelley and Mike brought their little, furry one, Cooper, over to visit, and Nate loved every minute of it.

Last but not least, what every get together needs… Wii!! As it is seen in some of the pics, Nate was a real big ‘help’ when folks were playing…

And there it is… a great Thanksgiving 2009 was had, and we look forward to even better get-togethers in the future as the Wolfe pups become more aware of the world around them!
