We had a wonderful Christmas with all of the family together.  Thank you so much dear Heavenly Father for these precious times together.

On the 1st Day of our Family Christmas 2012

 Caden's first day in BG playing with the airplane his Daddy played with.  He was excited to see an airplane because he made the connection that he went on an airplane early (6am) this morning.

 Caden really likes baby Ava.  He does not know she is his cousin.  He just knows she is a pretty girl.

 Our youngest grandchildren are not very photogenic.  Oh well, they are cute and precious to us.

 Caden and Ty playing together.

The evening is calming down with 6 grnadkiddos.  Here are the 3 older grandkiddos watching The Wizard of Oz with Pappy.  We had a wonderful family evening with our children and grandchildren.  Thank you dear Lord for these wonderful family times and memories in the making.

5 Grandkiddos Spend the Night

 The three older grandchildren watching How the Grinch Stole Christmas while they have a cookie picnic.  I put out a table cloth and had the kiddos eat their cookies as a picnic.  I then only had to shake the crumbs from the table cloth.  Bedtime snack is right after bath time.

The five cuties early Sunday morning.  I bribed them.  I said if you smile pretty I will give you a candy cane.  I guess it sort of worked.

Caden and Santa

Our 21 month old grandson Caden  meets Santa.  We love this little guy so much.

Ava Kissing

Miss Ava's latest trick is to kiss.  She is so precious.

Happy Birthday Evan!

About 3 weeks ago Evan changed his mind for his birthday cake.  He told me he wanted a scary monster with legs.  Well, this is what we came up with that we could do.  I just added fondant legs for Evan's request for legs.  When he saw the cake, Evan said, "It's a scary monster."  I was so relieved that he thought it was scary.  Evan wanted to eat the eyeball.... all sugar.... marshmallows and powdered sugar.  He was happy.  Love you little guy!!!!

Pappy and Ava

Ava was afraid of Pappy for a couple of months.  Ava now is very comfortable with Pappy.  Here she is playing with a red piece of paper.  Her favorite toy currently is colored paper.  Too funny.

Mommy and Her Peanut

What a sweet photo of our little peanut and her Mommy.  Two girls I love very much!!!!!

Halloween Fun

 Downtown BG Trick or Treating last Thursday when it was 80 degrees and sunny. The grandkiddos and friends.  We had a red power ranger, spider man, an elephant, a peanut and a Little Mermaid.  Cute.

 Our peanut Ava all bundled up today for "Trunk or Treat" at our church, St. Mark's Lutheran.  It was a cloudy, windy, cold day, but fun.

Alisson and her little elephant Tyler.  He was cozy with his costume.  Perfect for a cold day.  It was great seeing the 5 grandkiddos today at "Trunk or Treat."  The children went trick or treating around the parking lot where cars had treats in their opened, decorated trunks.  Fun.

Ava and Tyler's Birthday

 This is the cake Pappy baked for Tyler and Ava's birthday today.

 Here is our one year old birthday girl!! 

 Our smiley grandson on his 2nd birthday today.

Ava having her first taste of cake.  She really got into it and liked it a lot after this first taste.  She needed a bath afterwards of course.

Ava and a Vintage Toy

 I gave Ava her Mommy's Lolly Dolly to play with .  She loved it just like her Mommy did.

Our cutie Ava playing with Lolly Dolly. 

Ava Plays Dress Up with Grammie

 Since Ava spent the night with us, I thought I would try on some clothing we have bought for her to see how they fit.  This is her Christmas outfit.  It should fit by December.

 Ava liked playing with the tag.  She cried when I took the dress off.

 Here is Ava in her birthday jammies she will get in 2 weeks.

These are jeans I bought at the Black Swamp Art Festival.  They only had a 12 months in the jean I liked.  They are just a little long for her.  She will grow into them shortly. 

3 Grandkiddos Play with Grammie

 I got to have the three younger grandchildren with me to play for a couple of hours.  Our biggy girl is sitting in the high chair that her Mommy and Uncle Zach sat in along with her two brothers.  She is looking and acting older.  I love our little princess.

The two boys asked to watch Toy Story 3 as soon as they entered the house.  Don't you just love the thumb in the mouth and holding his blankie.  Such cuties and so sweet.
