Ready for Santa
The final preparations have been made and Evelyn and Brandon are ready for Christmas!
In the past few days the kids have visited Santa, had a dance class Christmas party, made lots of cookies and set out treats for the big man himself.

Christmastime in the City
We took a trip to downtown Pittsburgh this weekend to take part in some holiday festivities. Our first stop was the ice skating rink and giant Christmas tree in PPG Plaza.
We also went inside the Wintergarden to see the model trains, gingerbread houses and Santas from around the world. After a quick walk through Market Square, we took a lunch break and then did some reindeer themed crafts (and hung out with Rudolph) in Fifth Avenue Place.
Our visit ended with a street trolley ride around the city. On the way home we stopped on Mount Washington to see the Pittsburgh skyline (and the Duquesne Incline).

Christmas Preparation
The Christmas tree is up and decorated, and thanks to Evy and Brandon the bottom three feet of it are packed with ornaments.
The halls (and walls) are decked with festive tschotskes and we are getting ready for the holiday season!

Kennywood in December
It turns out that the motorcycles (and a bunch of other Kiddieland rides) still work in December.
We visited Kennywood's Holiday Lights this past weekend and the kids were able to ride a few rides, eat Potato Patch fries, and check out one million twinkling lights that were set up around the park.

Swimming Lessons
Evy and Brandon both finished up their fall swimming lessons this week. Evelyn's favorite part was jumping off the diving board.
Brandon also liked jumping in the pool. But from a sitting position on the side.
I wonder if they'll remember any of the skills they learned in seven months when it's warm enough to swim.

Extended Halloween
Halloween became a ten day long celebration this year. Evy and Brandon's costumes sure got a workout.
The kids were able to get dressed up for dance class, the library, the school parade, a friend's party and two different (postponed until November 3rd) neighborhood trick-or-treat sessions.

Jumping in the Leaves
Even though we don't have any trees in our yard, we do have leaves. But what provides more fall fun than raking all of those leaves?
Jumping in the pile you just raked!

Beginning of Fall
Nothing says autumn like pumpkins and hay bales. And colder weather. Evy and Brandon experienced all of those things last weekend during a visit to the middle of the state.
They started with a trip to a fall festival where they painted pumpkins, posed with a scarecrow and ran through a hay maze.
They also attended their first Hootenanny on the Hill. And if the hay ride and fresh cut fries weren't enough, how about an appearance by the King himself.
