{Catching Up...}

The Seidel family has been sooo busy the past couple weeks!  Where to begin...let's see....We had a wonderful Halloween party and are so thankful for all who came to help us celebrate!  Anna, Bob, and I dressed up as Fred, Wilma, and Pebbles, and I must admit, Anna rocked the Pebbles costume!

Fred, Wilma, & Pebbles!

Thank You Grandma for making me such a cute costume!
On Halloween we took Anna to my parents to trick or treat, she didn't really get the whole concept yet, in fact, we would probably still be there waiting for her to walk up to the front door...I think she did everything BUT that, including danced around, went across the street, played with wood chips, you get the picture.  But overall she looked cute and had a good time, and that's all that matters, right? :)

Last weekend we traveled to Minnesota to help celebrate Bob's godson Bentley's 7th birthday and our newest niece in the family, Harlowe's baptism.  It was a great weekend as the ENTIRE Seidel family traveled to Minnesota (minus Ann, we missed you!!!!)  We got in Friday night, had a delicious dinner at Ben and Haley's and gave the kiddos a chance to play.  Saturday we headed to the Mall of America for the day (A big hit with ALL the kids with the rides, plus we got some shopping in, score!)  Saturday night we went swimming at the hotel and had pizza and cake for Bentley's birthday and the baptism was Sunday before heading back home.  It was a wonderful weekend and we were thankful to share it with family - a big thanks to Ben and Haley for all their hospitality!

"The ride are this way!"

Similar to the airplanes at Bay Beach, Anna LOVED this one!  There was a lot of dramatic "Weees!"

The carousel is always a favorite of Annas


Anna and Bentley love each other!
Cousins!  Anna, Bentley, Harlowe, Issabelle, Braxsen, & Abby


Finally, Anna has been taking a First Bugs class at the Y.  Class is offered on Tuesday mornings, so typically my mom takes her, but this past Tuesday, I went into work a little late so I could check out class.  It was by far one of the cutest things I have ever seen.  The kiddos get to play on some gym type equipment, sing, dance, and play games.  Class is for 2 years old and under so needless to say, the teacher has her hands full.  Anna seems to really enjoy class (This was demonstrated when she tried to teach it with the teacher when she should have been sitting on her mat!)  The slide seemed to be her favorite!
