Holiday parade 2012

We took Kieran to the annual holiday parade in downtown Columbia last weekend. The weather was perfect and Kieran seemed to really enjoy the parade this year.

Kieran playing with daddy's wallet... 

"Cheese!"

Mommy and Kieran enjoy a hot drink waiting for the parade to begin.

Sitting on the curb, watching the show :)

So sweet :)

We ran into Julie, Jacob and Evan at the parade- seems like we are always randomly meeting up with some portion of the Marshall family at every Columbia event ;)

Kieran and the boys reacting to the first band- so excited!!

Such sweet boys :)

Cousins- so sweet!

Presley- what a doll!

Sisters and kiddos :)

Love the expressions ;)

My little GQ guy

"Cheese!"

Check out his cool kicks!

Halloween 2012!

Getting Kieran ready for his second year of trick-or-treating... he was a Nochturtle-Ninja!

"Look Nana! I glow!"

Adjusting his emblem- which turned out to be upside down due to a shell malfunction ;)

Knock, knock...

"Trick-or-treat!'

Ding-dong... 

His glowing shell- a goodwill basket plus some paint and glowsticks!

Checking out the loot while the turtle adjusts his eye-shine goggles ;)

Kieran choose Nerds for his first treat of the night :)

Mom and dad got into the holiday spirit the weekend before as Lizard and Blackcat... we went to a costume party at Ragtag.

Birthday party fun!

Kieran had a great time helping Sam celebrate his 7 th birthday this year! 

A living room full of balloons and kids- a recipe for a good time!

"Cheese!!"

Mighty Kieran at bat...

Kieran's swing knocked the baseball pinata' to the ground... that look was priceless! He is still talking about how strong he is ;)

Shyrock's Corn Maze!

We met Sandy and Aaron's family at Shryock's corn maze for some fall fun! Sandy's work hosted the event for employee families and provided hot-dogs and marshmallows for roasting, games for the kids and admission to the maze- it was a lot of fun!

Kieran tries his hand at washers with daddy...

Greeting the cousins on their arrival... he loves these big boys!

Jaron and Kieran have their own idea of how to play with the bean-bags ;)

"Catch me..."

"If you can!"

Hanging out in an old grain silo...

Roasting marshmallows with mommy :)

Mmmmm!

So good!

"Look- a feast!"

This boy loves his hot-dogs.

Our fearless leaders ;)

The gourds were a big hit!

Nene orange and little boy :)

We tried for a family pic, but as you can see we were doing some baby-wranglin' ;)

Got a group shot... such a fun day!
