Cake Buddies

Teagan learned quickly that Grandad would get him cake when he asked. He would go over and pull Grandad up and take him to the dessert table for some cake.

YUMMY!

Lawn Mower Riding

Grandad got the lawn mowers out for a little riding fun. When I was a kid we would get the lawn mower out, hook up the trailer, and take turns pulling each other around the yard... Grandad and Teagan becoming buddies

Lawn mower chasing!!

Uncle Doug and McKenzie....no one braved the trailer!

Grandad drove Teagan around until he fell asleep!

Playing in the leaves at Grandads

We were soooo excited to finally be there and the kids had LOTS of energy they needed to run off. Thankfully, it was a nice afternoon to play outside! McKenzie throwing leaves at Steven...

Time to cover Teagan up...

Then it is McKenzie's turn...

On the road...

We managed to pack the van full to hit the road to El Dorado, Arkansas. We were on our way to see Grandad and the rest of the Tanner family. We moved Teagan's seat to the back so he could have his sissy to play with. That also freed up the seat next to Nate so I could crawl back (which I did frequently) to help whoever needed something at the time!

Ruehling Christmas

We usually have Christmas on Christmas Eve with the Ruehling family, but this year we changed plans so we could head to Arkansas.... We may have changed the day, but some traditions will never change. Poppy read the Christmas story after our Christmas brunch and before opening gifts...
The morning ended with the traditional paper fight after gifts were opened...

McKenzie opening her new princess bike

Teagan opening his giraffe bike that he thinks should move like a normal bike, but it is stationary!

Nate opened his Lovie...a monkey! Nate slept through present opening so he had all eyes on him when he opened gifts!

Nate present tasting

Nate found a present to try out...whatever the boy can put in his mouth he puts in!
