My lil punkins

Back at the end of October, Dave and Jonah and I met cousin Kylee, Aunt Sheridan and Uncle Jeff at A-1 Pumpkin Patch in Aurora for some pumpkin pictures. Grandma and Grandpa were able to meet up with us, too. It was a chilly, but beautiful afternoon.

Here's cousin Kylee

Awe! Hugs!

Jonah & Kylee

Kylee came over to play with Jonah and me on Friday since our sitter had the day off. Jeff & Sheridan came over after work and we all had dinner and watched Cars.

I got some really cute pictures of Jonah and some really cute pictures of Kylee (see the rest here), but never in the same shot. So I took this picture...

And this picture...

And put them together.

Can you tell it's fake?
