We spent the day at a real mall!! I was in heaven, but was on my best behavior! Mike and Lori let me pick out some early Christmas gifts, so we headed right to MiMi Maternity!! Wes had fun sitting on Santa's lap and riding the escalator with Grandpa! He had even more fun playing in the kid's area, a great addition that every mall should offer!
Just kidding! It is just a log from his new animal set!! This one is for you, Daddy!
It was a really cold morning when we reached the Blarney Castle, and we could barely see it from the path. Luckily, it turned out to be a nice day. We were so fortunate that we didn't have to deal with crowds and we even parked right next to the entrance!
Kissing the Blarney Stone...Didn't realize what a hike it would be up the castle staircases! I cramped for days afterward. My doctor has said no more castles...and send him a post card!! I'm confused!! Since we now have the "gift of gab" from kissing the stone, I think maybe we'll have a little chatty baby girl!!! Who knows!!! 
Wes is tasting the brew that he created below!! Gotta love the Guiness!! Or at least he does!
I guess John was being modest and didn't post these pics when I was in Sardinia!! It was fun for Wes to watch him carve the pumpkin...When he was finished, he showed me that he carved the teeth to match Wes'!! Four on top and 3 on the bottom! Wes loved pumpkins this year! He still wanted to carry the carved one around!
Kristi's birthday party!!! Hats and birthday cake!! She was so excited to see him go to town with more cake!!
