Halloween

Ava, Xander and Graeson had a great time Trick-or-Treating in Newcastle tonight. Besides getting a little freaked by some of the creepy houses, they thought it was great walking around in the dark to get candy. Graeson had so much fun he fell asleep in his cozy dinosaur costume. Xander was great at saying, "Trick or treating! I'n a knight." And Ava liked to say "Da-tu, bye!" but had a hard time doing her usual wave while holding her little trick or treat bag. They were a hit.

Minnesota Marinara

After wandering around Minneapolis for a few hours (a great adventure, of course) Ava was pretty excited to eat some rockin pasta at a really cool Italian restaurant. It was definitely worth the wait!

Surprise! Papa is 60!

Lots of family and friends gathered to celebrate Papa's 60 years. It was great to hear why other people think Papa is as amazing as we all do. We love you!
