looking out at all the rain.

having fun with daddy!

chowing down on his favorite: bananas!

big smiles with papa!

checking out grandpa allen's painting studio!

so clever- ledger decided to turn this container for blocks into a makeshift chair!

ledger and i went to walmart for a few things and i set him down in the toy department and just let him loose!  he was totally loving it!  dont worry, i made sure to put back anything that he messed with.  i've worked retail before, so i know how rude it is to just leave messy isles...

so cute!

for the first time in my life, i've gotten to take advantage of those funny kids carts at the grocery store- ledger totally loved it!  it sure made shopping easier too- he kept himself busy in there the whole time!

um, i think that hat might be a little small for you, ledger...

tavish's birthday!

tavish crafting the fantastic pirate cake for tavish's birthday party!

it turned out really well!

ledger wasnt a huge fan of the hat, but had a great time- he loved mamma's hat though!

blowing out the candles!

he might not have cared for the hat, but ledger definitely loved the eye patch!

papa was sitting in his chair enjoying an apple.  ledger kept pulling on his sleeve asking 'bite?' mema grabbed another one so he could have his own- and he chowed down on that sucker!

ledger's favorite new stuffed animal: mema's cute little doggy- big hugs!

he hardly set it down the whole weekend!

coloring with his mom.

mema often has a whole bin full of wood animal toys for ledger to play with, but tonight she went all out and brought down the ark that they belong with- ledger was loving it!  he played the part of noah and stuffed all of them in that boat!

mema creepin' behind ledger...

the girls always love to go up into the toy room after dinner and ledger always tags along.  looks like he found the fairy wings and recorder...

goofing around on the floor with the fun toys at memas!

in preparation for christmas, aves paged through the toy ads in the paper, circling all the things she wanted!  oh, how that brings back memories!

keenan thanksgiving 2

after dinner mom and david gave out prizes!  they had gotten each of us different christmas ornaments when they went down to frankenmuth!  ledger got a really cute froggy with a jingle bell for a tummy- it even had his name painted on it.  so cute!

the kids playing the fun wand game that let them get their energy out!

about the only moment the entire weekend where all three of the boys were actually sitting still- well, one of them wasnt exactly sitting...

ledger and liam looking out on the fresh snow in the backyard.

a couple boys and their moms busy reading!
