Christmas in Illinois

We spent a long Christmas weekend in Illinois with the Ryba family.  Simon had lots of fun times!

It wasn't quite a white Christmas

Riding with Papa Jim
Making cookies with Grandma Barb

Christmas morning Facetime chat with Grandma Karen

Santa brought him some trucks and a mat to drive them on!  Teuer stood watch.

Merry Christmas!

As always, he had fun with trains

Trying on fun new shoes with Alli.
 
Christmas Eve

The good and adorable:

Four generations 
His "angelic" look

Goofy

Cute but out of focus

With Grandma Karen



The not-so-good:

What happens when you say "CHEESE" very seriously

Chillin'

Distracted

Huh?
 
I'm getting tired of getting my picture taken....

ABCs

Simon knows his ABCs! Please ignore the shaking camera (I couldn't stop laughing), the cat with the cone of shame in the background, and the beeping kitchen timer.

Happy Halloween!

By decree of the City of Cedarburg, trick-or-treating was on Saturday evening from 5-8 p.m.


If I do say so myself, I think he was the cutest little giraffe in the whole neighborhood.


Simon was lucky to have his friends come and visit to go trick-or-treating for the evening - Rapunzel and Sleeping Beauty (a.k.a. Isabelle and Lili.)  They all had a lot of fun, and the grown-ups did too!
