Did you hear about our big blizzard?  14″ in 24 hours. . .everything was closed.  We still managed to have fun, though!

Henry helping Daddy with the shoveling (there was a lot of it!)

Henry exploring the deep, deep snow.  Also, we forget to take in our patio umbrella.  Or furniture, for that matter.

Rosy cheeks!

Henry and Daddy made some Christmas cookies last week,with Mama pitching in to help.

Here’s Henry rolling out the dough:

And here was the first attempt at the cookies. . .I believe this was the result of a transcription error.

But, everyone rallied and moved along:

Halfway decent pic of Grandma & Grandpa with all the grandkids.

From L to R:

James, Jack, Claire, Will (on Grandpa’s lap), Henry (on Grandma’s lap), Emmet and a partially obscured Nolan.

A few more fall pics.  . .

‘nuf said.

Today’s the big day, but Henry’s school had their annual Halloween parade and party this past week.   Here’s a few shots of our big boy, Henry the Fireman!

Checking himself out:

Cutie patootie!

In the parade with his classmates (lots of princesses, and one other fireman):

One of my friends commented that he looks very authoritative in this next photo, like, “C’mon people, move on back.  Step away from the secured area.”

Had lunch with some friends yesterday. . .here’s a pic of Henry gaming with his friend Eddie.  Can real video games at home be far behind??

Last weekend we took Henry to a local apple garden/ pumpkin patch.  Gorgeous fall day, horse ride. . .but no apples (cash only!).   Still had a great time, though. . .here’s some pics!

On the hay ride. . .

Henry petting Luke, one of the horses that pulled us on our hay ride.

Pumpkins!
