Toddler Tuesday Christmas Party

I knew it might be a difficult year for Taylor and Santa. So I've been doing everything I can to make him like Santa. We read books and I make sure to point Santa out wherever we are. I even let him play with my glass ornament. Finally he started saying, "Ho Ho Ho!"and even gives him love! I thought for sure Santa was going to be our friend.

Today was the day we went to see Santa...

He was dancing to the beat and watchend an entire puppet show with a girl whom I don't know.

Then came Santa.....

Bath Time, Splash Time!

We had Jose, Linda, and Josecito over for dinner on Saturday night. Linda and I had the great idea of letting the kids take a bath together. I think it was more fun for Linda and I. They were too cute!

November Oregon Trip

It's a little late but, I still don't have a camera so my mother sent me a CD from hers. While we were in Oregon we got to meet the new addition...four sheep. When my parents picked us up they had the horse trailer in tow and they were headed to pick "the girls" up from visiting a ram. My sister and I are still baffled as to why our mother needed four! Now there will be eight!? But none the less, Taylor was fasciated by them. He would go out with Grandma to feed in the mornings. Emmy loved showing him around on the farm too! She showed him the rabbit, chickens, and then collected the eggs. I can't wait for him to learn how to clean stalls.

I'm getting sick of reading The Wheels on the Bus!

My lil Buckaroo!

Grandma brought us all Starbucks!

Wearin Momma's Boots!

He was trying so hard to put them on....so I agreed to help!

Our Little Monkey!

He loves his nanas. All fruit has suddenly become a nana. At the grocery store he ate two bananas, goldfish, Ritz, a Nutri Grain Bar, and then proceeded to tell me me needed another nana! As I explained to Sean, that it's the only thing I could do to keep him content in the cart! Then, the next morning we had a BIG surprise in his diaper! I'll never do that again!

Here's the monkey enjoying the rest of his nanas.

And his PB &J...

Safety First! He can't reach the petals yet but he can sure steer! A few weekends ago while we were outside hanging the lights he discovered how to push himself down the sloped drive way.

Thanksgiving

The month of November was gone in the blink of an eye. Taylor and I went to Oregon for the first couple weeks. Then it seemed like Thanksgiving was already upon us. I'm sad to report that Sean's team never made it to the playoffs. Thy lost to Alexander (thier rival). Sean was bummed...but I'm happy to have him home now! He tells me every year that they hope to be playing Thanksgiving weekend so don't make any plans. He knows I don't work well without planning! So we decided to stay in Laredo for Thanksgiving. We went over to my friend, Haley's house for a huge afternoon dinner. She has a little boy, Gavin, who's Taylor's age. We all had a good time and ate LOTS of food. I didn't take many pictures though. I'm not sure why, perhaps I was eating the whole time? There were lots of other children there so Taylor didn't do much eating. He was more excited about playing with the other children. Thanks again Haley for having us!

Taylor's plate? (Dad likes to document everything.)

He'd make grandma proud! He got on the horse all by himself!

Up to no good.

He liked the Turkey best!
