nap time

When he is tired - he just drops and Ethan found a nice place to snuggle - with Tyler in my knitting chair.

Happy Birthday to Tyler

Just because it isn't November 8, doesn't mean we can't celebrate 

whenever Tyler Benson Bond is in town. 

And yes, we have the Christmas tablecloth on already and 

yes, I used whatever paper I could find. 

We opened presents first with Aunt Janet, Uncle Charlie, Uncle Jay-me, 

Aunt Debi and Gramma Jeanne.

We were all set to blow out the candle when I said - "Wait, we have to sing happy birthday" to which Tyler was crushed.  (note head on hand - he is SOOOO dramatic - my mom would appreciate that)

Painting his birdhouses with markers to hang on the Christmas tree.

Holidays by Tyler

Tyler's favorite place to be is with his Unc.  

They string beads together

Build railroads 

Sack out on the couch after watching Thomas videos

Out for a hike

 Collecting spruce cones for a garland

Just the right height

Always something in his hands - a bucket of cones and his number 3 for his birthday cake.

A happy picker.
