We took one of Austin's friends to Frankenmuth...they were both well beahved boys...most of the time!!
Austin told Santa he wanted a fast bike. 
Two weeks prior to this visit I promised Austin that next time we came up he could go on a horse drawn carriage ride. Well when we got half way there he didn't forget to remind me. Kids they just don't forget anything!
We went to Broad View Farms and cut down this christmas tree.
Waiting on the tractor to take us and our tree back to the front of the farm for hot cocoa...unfortuantly we spent so much time looking for a tree that they had already closed the kitchen. That was ok though cause we had some at home.
We were all thankful for lots of things this Thanksgiving...Mommy was thankful for her family, health, and job...daddy was thankful for mommy and austin...and Austin was thankful for "everyone and grammy's Camaro" we know he loves her car i guess we just didn't realize how much!!

Shanes new Handy Manny toolbox
What a cutie!
Playng dress up...The only reason Daddy allowed Austin to dress up as a princess is because Madalynn wanted him to dress up...she is the only exception to the dress up rule!
Austin loves the whirlpool...especially when we load it full of bubbles. Michael spent 30 minutes cleaning up after the mess we made. Mommy didn't realize how much she is turning into one of the boys until she posted this pictures and saw the bunny ears she was giving Austin. As much as I try to resist their tom foolery...I've notice myself joining in!
It took us about 45 minutes to get to the top walking. Austin did pretty good for as steep as the hill was.
Austin and Grandpa Nijhof throwing rocks. He had a great time and can't wait to go back to California to see him.
Shane is the up and coming soccer star...
He knows not to use his hands...he will just use his belly!!
