We're back from Thanksgiving weekend in Indiana, where we got to see this little guy whom we'd not seen since August. The big excitement was putting up the Christmas tree and decorating/undecorating it. In the photo above, he's reaching as high as he can to strip the tree of its ornaments so he can bowl with them. What a great idea, huh! Good thing they were plastic, not glass!
The kitchen bowling alley
Helping Grandpa with a game of Scrabble
He is one busy (and charming) 3 year old!
And waiting for a little sister, who is expected to make her grand appearance next spring. They will be the same distance apart in age as our first two were. I remember when I caught our 3+ year old son zooming the newborn sister around the house in the laundry basket.
I promise, the baby had been sleeping in her bassinet and I'd only gone into the other room to answer a phone call from my mother in law. A lot can happen, FAST!
Amazingly, they both survived childhood - and I survived their childhood to tell about it!

ReplyDeleteThat little guy is quite the charmer! Three is a great age, because some of the things he experiences now will stay with him as memories - including a doting grandpa who likes to play games. So glad you had a good visit!!

ReplyDeleteGlad you had a fun Thanksgiving with your family.
Your story of the older one zooming the baby ...I know it's true...cause my oldest was getting ready to carry her baby sister down the stairs while holding her by the head. Thank God I thought to see why she was so quiet. You do have to watch every second.:):) Your g.sons reminds me of my oldest g.son when he was small. blond and sweet. Blessings, xoxo,Susie
ReplyDeleteBowling with Christmas ornaments! LOL! This explains why my son and daughter-in-law's tree lived in a gated community for the first six years. Perhaps, it'll be part of the family this year...finally. Thank God that He gave guardian angels...so many times my kids needed one. I see that yours did, too.
ReplyDeleteSounds like you had a wonderful Thanksgiving!! Three - what a magical age for Christmas!! He half way understands the lights, decorations and presents.
ReplyDeleteCongrats on the new Granddaughter to be!! God's miracle of life is amazing!!
Awe what a great Thanksgiving you all had. He sure is cute!!!!! And I can remember how fast those kidlets can be - amazing anyone survives. The body is strong.

ReplyDeleteSweet photos.
ReplyDeleteGlad you made it home before the snow started to fall. :-)
Did Joe do a good job taking care of the pets?
He is indeed a charmer...look at that sweet face! I know you enjoyed spending time with him and getting to do fun things like this. Making memories. I raised 4 sons and I know I had help from above with all of them. The oldest was 7 when the youngest was born...that's close! lol! Sweet hugs!
ReplyDeleteYou have a really cute little grandson there! How creative to bowl with the tree ornaments!
ReplyDeleteLOL What a cutie bowling with the Christmas ornaments!
ReplyDeleteGreat series of photos! Must have been a very special time for you. We are making a similar trip this weekend.
ReplyDeleteI'll say it again. He is such a cutie. I can't wait to see his little sister.
ReplyDeleteThe story about the laundry basket made me laugh out loud! He is such a cutie. Funny he wanted to bowl with ornaments. Hope he helped Grandpa win at Scrabble. Great to see families enjoy time together, that is what life is about!!
ReplyDeleteCynthia
Great pics! Looks like everybody enjoyed themselves. I went to Indiana too. It was wonderful to see the grandkids.
ReplyDeleteLOL, bowling with ornaments!
ReplyDeleteI actually like when the Christmas trees have all their ornaments in the same spot: it means they were made with more love than design ideas!
