Botanic Garden Train Exhibit December, 2011

So many amazing trains, some high in the air, some right within reach (ahem). Here are some pics from the train exhibit, we went twice this past December.

Graham, see if you can touch that one!

So high!

Look, up there!

So much for taking holiday card photos!

Julia, ready

Graham, having none of it!

Julia --ready for her close up

So, all I wanted to do was get a Christmas photo for our holiday card...Graham decided it was a good moment to go around the house, measuring our 3 indoor trees (one huge one outside, photos to come)..
Yes, Mommy, it is 5 foot something or other...

Halloween images

This year, Graham decided early on to be a Roman Soldier--and he did not deviate. Julia, on the other hand, wanted to be soooooo many things!
Tinker Bell, a princess, a ballerina, Cinderella, a starfish...so, she was a ballerina at WIS in the morning for the parade, and Cinderella at night for trick or treating.
This year was special, as Gramma Grace was here. She stayed home and gave out candy while we walked up and down the streets with Mame and Andy. Yummmm...I wonder what I'll fill my bag with!

Cinderella, contemplating her next Halloween move.

This was a scary, scary house for trick or treating...Julia held back, but the Roman Soldier went forth and conquered, getting a good piece of candy as a treat!

When Julia put her Cinderella dress on, Graham ran upstairs to get her 'castle' -- a Princess Castle given to Julia on her birthday last year by Mame...

Costume change! Julia was a ballerina at school on Halloween, and Cinderella at night!

Gramma Grace and the little ones.
