Room To Grow Santa

Santa comes to Ryder's daycare for breakfast. The last 2 years we have been in Vegas when he comes, but this year we were home. Ryder and I decided to take it all in, and while he wasn't too sure about the big bearded guy, after about an hour and 4 jelly donuts, he eventually came around (Ms. Sherry bribed both Ryder and Santa with M&Ms). Ryder even color a picture for Santa and gave it to him all by himself.

Not sure if the trucks, trailers, and tractors message made it from Ryder's lips to Santa's ears, but I guess we'll know on Christmas.

Mini Trent

We haven't had a lot of snow this winter, but it has been good and cold a couple of days. When it is time to feed in the cold, it is important to bundle up just like daddy.

Groundwork for Santa

Ryder took some time out from decorating for Christmas to read some Christmas books with Gramma Jill and lay the foundation for what Santa could bring him and why he was worthy.

Overheard

Me: I have to go to work so we can buy stuff
Ryder: Like big trucks?
Me: Yes
Ryder: And cows?
Me: Yes
Ryder: And butter?

The kid does like some butter.

We were at Walmart yesterday and he was riding in the cart holding onto the list like he always insists on doing. I asked him what was on the list. He looked at it for a long time, turned it over and scanned the back and said "All I see is milk and chocolate".

Frogs are Scary

Now I can understand the Lion and even the Bear, but the Frog? The Frog is scary? I can't wait to introduce him to the family that lives in the dog house all summer.

And to continue the technology feed, nothing better than jamming to some tunes on old school headphones.

Loving the UPS Man

Ryder got a package for Halloween from Gramma with all kinds of goodies in it. Mom suggested we divvy them up over a number of days, but that didn't happen. He already knows a package from the UPS man means Gramma came through again, and there is no holding him back.

Driveway Art

We played in the driveway the other night, something about these photos just makes me smile.

Guess he sat down in his artwork a time or two ;)
