Anderson has started responding, "Yep!" when we ask him questions, which might be the cutest thing ever. We have definitely had a jam packed last few days!
Family? YEP! Friends? YEP! Fantasy of Trees? YEP! Fun? YEP! Dollywood Christmas? YEP!
In no particular order...
Please check out the construction plate & utensils! How fun are these??
Playing with Great Aunt Donna on GG's bed!
Still loving Jacob's trains! Love this turkey shirt, too.
While I do love Black Friday shopping with my family because it is just exciting, it is totally a gimmick. I enjoy shopping deals all year long & online really is the way to go. BUT, CVS is AWESOME! All of this was free after extra bucks! And, I had some coupons so I made money on some of it. Mom & I were the first people there at 6:55am on Thanksgiving morning. It was hilarious.
The fam looking at old pictures. Look for pictures to come of all of the goodies from Aunt LoLo. She found him metal, real looking bobcat. It is legit.
Anderson making cupcakes! Check out "Crayon Pirate" in the background, which is where my pirate obsession started when I was pregnant. 
He was very proud of the snowman painted on his hand. He kept looking at it & walking with his hand held out in front of him, just staring at it.
He looks so cute in his little jeans, snowman shirt and Roo shoes. I just want to snuggle him.
The boy continues to love his Bop. They rock and watch train videos, making the train sounds the entire time. Here they are saying, "Whoo, whoo!" They don't play around with the generic train sounds, only the real ones will work for them. My poor dad has watched this video hundreds of times, I think. Yet, he is always so excited for Anderson.
They really are best friends.
Dancing in the kitchen.
Playing construction puzzle with Sunny!
His favorite game consists of me dumping the clothes from the dryer on him. He LOVES it. The giddiness is contagious.
We went to "Fantasy of Trees" with GG! Sadly this is the best picture I could get of the 2 of them because it was dark in there & he is just a little active. The boy loves his GG, they are kind of grinning at each other here...I am just a really bad photographer!
Loved the penguins. Actually that night, Animal Planet was on and he was watching the penguins & was excited...until they were attacked by a crazy sea lion. He said, "Oh, no! Penguin!" And then I felt like a really awesome mom for letting him watch the slaughter of a penguin family.

Christmas at Dollywood! I must admit, my adoration of Dolly seems to grow with each visit. Everything looked so festive. There were lights everywhere, elves, reindeer, Santa, rednecks.
He definitely was the most excited about the train and it's great because you can hear it everywhere in the park. We watched it for abour 30 minutes while people were loading on it. He was in awe.
He really loves the kid rides. His favorite is the bee but this is the only picture I could get on any of them.
I just love this kid. And, clearly he loves his Bobble Cole based on this video.
i love the snowman shirt... He is so cute in that video and smart.
ReplyDeleteI love your entire family! Looks like your Thanksgiving was AMAZING!
ReplyDeleteLooks like a great start to a wonderful holiday season. I like that patching didn't get a report, sometimes it's nice to just focus on everything else. ;)
ReplyDeleteI love this boy :) He is full to the brim with personality!
ReplyDeleteARE YOU KIDDING?!? Why am I just now seeing this video??!?! Does Bobble Cole love that boy? Yep! I need to buy him more stuff right now.
ReplyDeleteAlso, I love the snowman and Roos.
And, I am traumatized by the penguin experience. That is pretty bad, Melissa.
you crack me up with bobble cole business.
ReplyDeleteYup, he's the cutest thing ever. I love his face when he's making cupcakes. Sooooo cute!! He is so funny with the snowman on his hand. Molly does the same thing when she gets a sticker. It's so sweet how they are amazed/fascinated by the smallest things. Love the roos, I am gonna have to find some of those for Molly!
ReplyDeletethat first pic, of the three of you, that is exactly what happens to me...either the kid or the husband ruins its "frame-worthiness"...it's like having two kids...
ReplyDeleteAin't we a bunch! Love you!
