Celebrating the big 1!!!

N turns 1 this week but since Nana and Papa were here we celebrated early. I decorated a fire truck cake and bought him a hat. He wouldn't keep it on very long but liked seeing it on us. Papa provided the entertainment with his puppets. He picked at his cake a little then decided to grab it with both hands and go at it. I took it away after a few bites.

Well our Christmas started at 5am with the girls ready to go. I was already up with N so I let them open their stockings and let the rest of the crew sleep. We had a nice leisurely time opening gifts. One of the biggest hits of Christmas were play quilts that my grandmother made. H got mermaides and L got fairies. The girls LOVE them. What a special first Christmas with N . He loved all his music toys. Nana and Papa being here made it extra special too.

N is 11 months old! and walking.

N is 11months old now and walking! He is so proud of himself. Always going with a smile on his face and hands in the air. He's such a happy boy.In the second video he is making the car sound if you listen close. Such a boy!

Wonderworks!

This was a very interesting place. We all had a great time.

Pigeon Forge

Pigeon Forge had some great Christmas decorations. This was the hotel we stayed in. They had a glockenspiel ( large bell instrument) that looks like a large coo coo clock.
