At the Shed Aquarium

We had a fun day at the Shed Aquarium on Saturday. The highlights were the polar exhibits with kids play area where Aiden touched a star fish, shells and other fun creatures. We also put him in a penguin outfit while he played in the polar zone on the slide, etc. He really enjoyed that exhibit.

Fun with Grandma and Grandpa House

Aiden has many adventures with Grandma and Grandpa House during the day that Tom and Lindsay only get to see photos of. Here are just a few of his adventures and fun! Aiden wanted to send a special note to them!

Winter Fun

During the Christmas break, we had about 6 inches of snow. It was fun to play outside and do some sledding with Lindsay's family. Tom had to snowblow too...

Christmas 2010

Helping pick a tree
In my Christmas pajamas
For Christmas this year we stayed in town which was very nice!! We picked our tree up at Menards and Aiden helped. He was such a good helper that he got his own tree as well - a small 3 foot one which he really liked.  We were able to spend the holidays with Tom's parents, Lindsay's parents, the Cummings family and Lindsay's sister Jenny and her husband Dave. Some highlights included Aiden's first candlelight church service, making christmas cookies, a new lawnmower and building bricks and playing with Aunt Jenny and Uncle Dave. Tom got an iPad so it has been fun learning about how to use it.
