Christmas was really fun this year. We both had our families in town over the holidays. The kids loved spending time with their grandparents, aunts, uncles and cousin. Below are some pictures from last week...

15 months

The twins turned 15 months old last week so we thought we would take some photos. They are looking much older these days. Both of them are walking and doing something new every day. They both say a few words (dad, mom, banana, Hi, dog, light, animal sounds). It is amazing how fast they learn things now. We took them to the Macy's Elf exhibit downtown tonight and they enjoyed it. They even sat on Santa's lap and there was no crying!!

Adam is 15 months old!

Stopping between photos to play the air guitar?!!!!?

Haircuts!

The boys got their first haircuts last weekend. Adam really needed one but no more curls... Grandma Ziegenfuss was the haircutter - thanks!! Here are some photos..

Feeling pretty cool with their long hair

Halloween Fun

We enjoyed dressing the kids in their costumes last night. Adam was a dog and Dylan was a lion. Adam was not so happy about wearing his costume but I think Dylan would have worn his to bed. All four Grandparents were over to help celebrate Halloween...

October Leaves

We had a great time last weekend playing at the park and raking some leaves.

Apple Orchard

We took the kids to the Minnetonka Apple Orchard on Saturday. It was a beautiful day and the kids enjoyed all the activities. They got to play in the hay, walk through a corn maze, watch a circus act with clowns and eat some apples. We left without taking home any apples (is that normal??)

Also, they got a new slide that they can use indoor. So far it is a big hit. There is a video below of them in action.

Check out the pygmy goats on the roof - ha!

Reading before bedtime
Adam was playing a game where he would show Dylan the book and say "Here do you want this." When Dylan would try to grab it he would crawl away and laugh really hard.

2nd Annual Twin Cities Marathon

The boys attended their 2nd twin cities marathon today. Unfortunately, the weather didn't cooperate but Joe still ran really well. Below are some pictures (compare the one from last year and this year)...
