Polar Express

Grandma and Grandpa Dobry took Charlie on a ride to the North Pole via the Polar Express. The train picked us up in Downers Grove and headed to the North Pole. During the ride we sang Christmas carols and Charlie ate Christmas cookies and drank chocolate milk. Once at the North Pole he even got to meet Santa! There are more pictures in the Christmas 2011 album.

Trick or Treat!

Charlie kicked off Halloween weekend in St. Louis. We visited a pumpkin patch and Charlie had his first pony and hay ride.

On Halloween night Charlie went trick or treating for the first time. We went with Emma who was dressed as Abby Cadabby and was the perfect compliment to Charlie's Elmo. Baby Brendan also joined us, but he just took notes for next year.At the first house Charlie was not quite sure what he should do, but it did not take long for him to figure it out. He ran down the neighborhood streets with Emma and was thrilled every time someone gave him a piece of candy. At one house he tried to trade and give a piece back, but the woman kindly refused.

I forgot how much fun Halloween could be! There are pictures in the Halloween album.
