Purple Party

Last Saturday we had Callie's birthday party. The theme was "purple" so all the girls dressed in purple, we had purple flowers, balloons, grape kool-aid, etc. Callie loves the color purple so we felt that it was appropriate. We played games with all her friends (pin the tail on the donkey, bean bag toss, and drop a clothes pin in a glass jar). After that we ate some food and Callie opened her presents. It was a fun party. Callie, before her party.

Holidazzle Parade

Every year in Minneapolis they have a parade that runs every night throughout the Christmas season. Lots of Minneapolis residents participate in the parade. They had lots of cool floats: Wizard of Oz, Hansel and Gretel, Peter Pan (Callie's favorite), and of course Santa Claus. All 4 of us bundled up and braved the 20 degree weather to watch this parade. Callie enjoyed herself while we watched the floats, but she was miserable for the two block walk back to the car.

First Real Snow

We had our first snow of the season a week ago. Callie got real excited to go out and play in it. We built snowmen: And I taught her how to make a snow angel: Coleman didn't make a trip out into the snow yet. We'll probably wait until next year.

Thanksgiving and 1 month photo

I think this first picture of Coleman is before Thanksgiving. I can't remember. I just like it because I think his outfit is cute!

Aunt Laura came to visit us for Thanksgiving. It was fun to have her here and see her meet Coleman and play with Callie. Wish she could have stayed even longer.


This is the most recent picture of Coleman and Callie. I took it yesterday on his one month birthday. Can't believe he's one month already!

Similarities?

So, do you all think these two look at all alike? Can you tell which one is Callie and which is Coleman? Sorry that one of these pictures is grainy looking. Scroll down for the answer.



The first picture is Coleman the second is Callie. Callie and Coleman both are about 2 weeks in these pictures.
