Lukey and Anna go to White Castle

Yesterday it was pretty nice out, so we went to the zoo.  It was our most successful trip ever.  They both had a lot of fun. Lukey was really good about pointing out the animals like the lions and monkeys, and pride rock, and things that he thought were dogs but were really other animals, etc.  Rafiki came too.

Anna and Da looking at the anteaters.

On the way home, we stopped at White Castle for lunch.  It was Anna's first time at White Castle.  Lukey thought we were at McDonald's.  

She didn't really want to eat any White Castle but she liked to play with the boxes.

Lukey wanted his picture taken too.

Party with Leah and Juliet

Lukey and Leah watching Spookly the Square pumpkin.  The courtship continues.

Anna and Juliet had a lot of fun playing together.

I like this picture of both of them.  Anna is doing her sniffy face and Juliet is having fun playing with her sock.

Anna showing Juliet her standing.  She has recently started to look like she wants to start walking.

Christmas celebration at Nana and Pa Bob's house with matching pajamas

Lukey always wants to sit really close to Kent.

Lukey liked matching Kent.  A few days later he pulled these pajamas out of his drawer and said  "wear with Kent".

Maeve was pretty good about playing tackle with Lukey.  She had enough of this game though once he knocked down her Disney castle.

It was not very easy to get these kids even in the same vicinity for a picture with their matching pajamas.

Kent crashed all of the Zdrodowski family pictures we were trying to take.

This was the best we could get.

Anna playing in her new tricycle from Auntie Roselyn and Uncle Dennis.

Lukey got a train table from Auntie Roselyn.  Tim put it all together and we took a picture because we knew as soon as Lukey got to it it would never look the same.  He plays with it a lot but is actually better than we thought about keeping most of the pieces together.  Anna likes it too.

We took Lukey sledding at the golf course down the street.  

Lukey sledding all on his own!

There seems to always be kids at this hill.  Lukey was friendly and said hi to the snowboarders.

Anna came sledding too.  She didn't go down the hill this time though.

Christmas!

We spent Christmas at Aunt Roselyn and Uncle Dennis's house.  The annual picture of the family was a bust.

This one turned out okay though.

Nana and Pa Bob.

Lukey liked playing with a real train set. 

Christmas morning

Anna was really excited that Da got new socks.

Lukey loves playing with his new drums from Uncle Rob and Aunt Steph.

Lukey getting ready to go outside to play.  I know I've said this on several occasions, but I don't know if I've ever seen Lukey look so handsome.
