Gingerbread House 12.21.11





I think Hunter enjoyed eating the candy instead of decorating the Gingerbread House...











Gingerbread House 2011:

Cookie Party 12.20.11

Grams brought Hunter over a new apron and he couldn't wait to put it on!




My Mom & Aunt Pam worked so hard on the first cookie pop - making it into a cute little reindeer....they finished it and put it on the side counter and as soon as their backs were turned Hunter ran over and couldn't wait to take a bite!

Hmmm...Yes your a pretty cute reindeer but....

I must take a bite of you!

Cookie Delivery

Hunter got an early Christmas gift from Grams & Gramps....


Cheryl & Co Cookies - his FAVORITE!!




He was so excited and couldn't wait to open one!

Santa 12.18.11


Hunter asking Santa for a Yellow Bam Bam Truck (a remote control truck)

Santa waiting for Hunter to give him "nuckles"...




Of course we couldn't leave without a hug...


Hunter loved Santa but didn't understand why he didn't give him his truck (when he first got off his lap he hung his head and pouted out his lip and said "he didn't give me my bam bam truck" and then after Santa explained he had to build it and that he would deliver it to him Hunter was fine.

What we do for fun -



What! Doesn't every kid play in the dryer?



Lowes - Build a Train 12.17.11

I didn't originally sign Hunter up for this because Daddy was hunting but we were shopping and noticed they were having a building day and they just happened to have an extra....

so Hunter, Grams and I built a train...


The final product!

Grams Christmas Party at Work





Ahhh...we finally figured out why Hunter sometimes squints in pictures....

A friend and I organized a train ride and it was a huge success! Hunter loved it!
