Three Come To Play with Grammie

 I had the 3 youngest grandchildren over for a few hours to play.  When Ty and Evan first arrived they did some rough housing as boys will do.

 Ava playing with a Fisher Price toy that her Momma and Uncle Zach had on their baby cribs many years ago.

 All 3 bathed, jammies on  and eating a snack of goldfish crackers.

 Ava is Ok with the Santa toy she is holding, however, she does not like the Santa on the floor that walks, rings a bell and plays music.  She says "No and then waves and says "Bye Bye."

 Still liking the toy Santa.

 How precious... the two brothers hug each other.    This was after they were play fighting and said, " You need to keep your hands to yourself at Grammie's house.  Evan asked, "Can we hug?"  I said, "Of course and then I had to get my camera."

Grammie's Girls

This is Grammie with her two special granddaughters.  Kori had a tap performance and Pappy and Grammie went to see her.  She did great.

Toledo Zoo Lights Fun 2013

 A perfect Friday night to take the grandkiddos to the Toledo Zoo Lights.

 Sweet Ava.

 When we got back to our house, the kiddos got have hot chocolate with marshmallows and whipped cream and a cookie from Stimmel's Bakery.

 Ava is ready to watch Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer.

OSU Game with the Grandkiddos

 I tried to get a photo of the grandkiddos in their Christmas outfits.  They came to our house after a Christmas party.

 The grandkiddos all bathed, in their jammies and ready to watch the OSU football game.

 Kori was not interested in the football game.  She was happy to be in her girl cave aka the pink room with Disney on TV.

 Evan and Tyler fell asleep. 

Ava decided to get up and watch the football game with Pappy.

Three October Birthdays

 Tyler and Ava share the same birthday--Oct. 20.  Pappy and Grammie made these two cakes for the birthday party for both of them.

 Grammie and Pappy got Tyler a Buzz Lightyear costume for his birthday.

 Evan wanted to play by himself in the basement.  I went and talked with him and took his picture.

 Singing Happy Birthday to Ty and Ava.

 I guess this is the best way to eat your cake.

 Ava liked her cake.

 Great-Grandpa K playing with Kori.

 Kori turned 9 on Oct. 24.  So, we baked a princess strawberry cake for her.

Kori rollerblading with her birthday rollerblades from Pappy and Grammie.  She went outside to rollerblade.  She did not mind that it was dark and cold. 
Now we have a short break on the cake baking until November 25th.
