Noah's 7th Birthday Party

We celebrated Noah's 7th birthday at Chuck E. Cheese in Minnesota. Noah was lucky enough to have both sets of grandparents there! Also present were cousins Joey, Jaden, Travis, and Nick, and Aunt Nancy, and Shannon. As soon as we told him we would be in MN for his birthday, he requested Chuck E. Cheese as the location--he remembered it even though it had been two years since he had last been there! He had a great time, and so did Alex and Ian. It was Ian's first real experience at Chuck E Cheese's, and he was very excited!

Pictures with Santa at Mall of America

We are two weeks into our family trip to Minnesota, and yesterday I picked up Christian's parents from the airport. They will be visiting Minnesota (what a cold month to visit!) for about 5 days. We went to the Mall of America after picking them up, and the boys had a great time. They went on some of the rides at the amusement park...unfortunately I had to ride a few with Ian, too--I don't think I'm cut out for kiddie rides anymore!
We also visited Santa. The boys have never really been into visiting Santa, but I figured I needed to get at least one picture with all of them in it, before they get too old!
We are enjoying spending time with family and friends here, the only thing missing is having Chris home for the holidays.
