Santa's Vacation Home

We headed to the Santa house with the Hofmaisters once again. Caden was a bit reluctant because he was afraid he would be disturbing Santa while he was so busy getting ready for Christmas. After much discussion, his concerns were put to ease when we convinced him that we were visiting Santa's vacation home and he only came there when he was taking a break from toy making. That kid gets some of the craziest thoughts stuck in his head!!

The Hoffy cousins joined us this year too!

Caden and Nina captured most of Santa's attention.

Finished up with cookies and cocoa...tradition!!

Another great night with Santa!

Halloween Happenings

Since when did Halloween become a week-long celebration? Maybe it's just a Van Pelt thing? We sure were busy!!

Here is our Neverland Family Photo!! This may be the last year I manage to get a family theme. Both boys had other ideas for their costumes this year. It took a bit of bribery to get everyone in costume at the same time. sheesh!!

Don't they look great as Pan & Hook!!

Another one of our Spooky Outings was the annual Karate Carnival...this called for another costume change...Harry Potter grabbed a quick nap on the way to the studio.

Here you can see the phase one of Logan's robot costume...see how it evolved 24 hours later in the next post.
