Lutz Family Pictures

While we had the whole crew together for Thanksgiving, we took family pictures at the ranch. Even with so many people and kids, it was a quick and easy photo shoot. Addison wouldn't give up her baby doll, so there was an extra "grandkid" in the pictures! :)

Lutz Family Thanksgiving

We spent the Thanksgiving weekend at my sister Amy's house with the whole crew. It was perfect weather and the kids loved playing together and picking up walnuts in the front yard, while all the aunts and Nannie loved snuggling Baby Jake. We had a great Thanksgiving meal with all the staples - turkey, ham, dressing, green bean casserole, cranberries, sweet potatoes, broccoli & rice casserole and of course, a Lutz favorite, brown 'n serve rolls, with some veggies and desserts in the mix... and pies, we had lots of pies!

Thanksgiving & Greyson's First Hunting Trip

We spent Thanksgiving morning at home making preparations for our Thanksgiving festivities that would be held the next day with the Lutz side of the family. We drove out to the ranch later that afternoon and Blake took Greyson hunting for the first time. They didn't get a deer, but they saw a few deer at the feeder and Blake said Greyson did pretty well for his first hunting outing. It won't be long before he's hunting on his own!

Addie Sue is TWO!

Addison turned two years old on November 22. She celebrated at daycare with cupcakes with her classmates. When we arrived home later that afternoon, Blake said her face was priceless when she saw her present sitting in the living room, a balance bike! We took it outside for a spin and she was only momentarily impressed until she decided she would rather ride in the old red car... while Greyson rode the new balance bike. We couldn't finish singing "Happy Birthday" fast enough for her to blow out the candle and get her hands on her birthday cupcake! The past two years have flown by and we have loved watching her grow and reveal her own little (or rather, BIG) personality. She's fearless and feisty; she's sassy and sweet. She's a mess but she makes us smile! Happy 2nd birthday, Addie Sue!

Greyson was VERY excited to help Addison open an early birthday present from Aunt Amy.

Greyson and his classmates helped prepare the Thanksgiving lunch at daycare.

Griswald Training 101. Although he made himself dizzy from walking round and round the tree, Greyson loved helping Blake wrap the trees in Christmas lights.

Wurstfest

We made our annual trip to Wurstfest to get our fill of sausage, potato pancakes and porkchops-on-a-stick. Greyson bawled big ol' crocodile tears when he wasn't tall enough to ride the giant slide, but recovered when he barely met the height requirement for the kiddie roller coaster to ride with Blake. They also rode the Ferris wheel and the carousel along with Addison.

Greyson was so proud of picking out his own outfit and Addie was proud of her blocks.
