O Christmas Tree

 
We broke down and bought a fake tree this year. I told myself I would never buy one. The last couple of years our tree would die a week before Christmas and be a fire hazard. Koen loves to pull up his chair and just sit and stare at it.

October 2009

 
Koen had a fun time in the month of October. He had a great time going to the pumpkin patch to pick out a pumpkin. He thought it was great that he could us a wheelbarrow to take his pumpkin to the car. I think the best part for him was riding the tractors. He wasn't too into carving pumpkins he wanted to have to knife to himself. Koen loved to go trick or treating. He thought is was great to get candy.

2nd Birthday Pictures

These are a couple of pics I took before we went to get them professionally done.

Beard Zoo, Look Who Is Turning Two

On Friday night we celebrated with family Koen's 2nd Birthday. It was fun to family come over and celebrate. Koen had a fun time opening his presents and eating his cupcake and playing with his "friends." I had been planning his cake for awhile. I had been baking cakes all week. Then on Friday we spent all day putting the elephant cake together. All I can say is what I see on tv looks tons easier then in real life. Alex and I watch cake challenges on tv and they make it look like something we could do. We gave it our best. We will see if a year will let our memories fade enough to try to again. Next time we will need to find a better fondant. Thanks everyone for coming and thanks Brian and Stephanie for your help with the cake and cupcakes.
