Happy Hannukah!!!

We celebrated Hannukah with my daddy's family at Aunt Stacey's. I received a trampoline and a toy fire truck from my Gramps!!!

I love my new trampoline!
And my fire truck too!

I gave Gramps a big hug and kiss to thank him!

I enjoyed some of my mommy's tuna dip! Finger licking good!

Awwww.....my mommy!!!

She loves me SOOOO MUCH!!! Gosh, I'm one lucky little guy!

Taylor and I had a dance PARTY!!!

I ended the evening by giving my cousin, Kayla, some lovin'!

Our Hannukah candles!

My 1st Home Depot Workshop!

The first Saturday of every month, Home Depot hosts a free kids workshop for a few hours in the morning. Mommy and I were in Home Depot Friday picking up a few things and it popped in her mind that someone had told her about this awhile back. She thought about what the date was and the next day, Saturday, just so happened to be the first Saturday of December. We were in luck!!!! After Gym Class on Saturday, we headed to my first workshop! When you arrive, you receive a little orange apron and a kit of whatever you are making that day! Then you head over to your table which is already stocked with all of the tools needed and sit on a big orange bucket! In this particular workshop, we built a toy wagon! I was the youngest little guy there but with da-da's help, I created a very neat (and sturdy) wagon!

I even got a pin (with a wagon on it) to put on my apron after I completed my wagon!

Getting to work!

After a few pieces of wood,
ALOT of glue,

A little "bang, bang,"

MORE glue,

I did say ALOT of glue, right?!?!

A walk around the table to see if anyone else needed some glue, of course),

I had my own hand-made toy wagon!

Ooooohhhh, Aaaahhhh!

Proud daddy!

But I wasn't done yet. I had to decorate it with a few festive stickers!

Addison's 2nd Birthday Party!

After our stay at Gammy and Poppy's we all headed over to Columbus on Saturday for Addison's 2nd birthday party! The party didn't start until later in the afternoon but I waited very patiently.

I waited on the stairs for the party-goers to arrive. Still waiting.....

And then....they came! Elmo too!!! (Since it was an Elmo themed party).

Elmo looked as nice as can be, but.....

I was still a little scared of the little, I mean, big red guy!

Aunt Kristi made a fantastic Elmo cake and we all sang to Addie!

Then we pulled the strings from the Elmo pinata until....

he opened up and spilled out a ton of goodies!

I gathered a few things and put them into my bag,

checked out my goodies,

and gathered a few more!

Then I thanked Elmo and gave him a pat on his nose!

Before the party ended, a winning name was pulled from a bag and....guess who won...ME!!!!!

I won a very cool Button Book!

Addison's party was a blast! Happy Birthday, cuz! I love you!!!

Thanksgiving 2009!

We spent Thanksgiving this year with mommy's family in Dayton. We arrived at Gammy and Poppy's on Wednesday and Addie and I spent the evening well....running around the house, while holding on to a dog's leash, of course!!!

After we tired ourselves out and hit the sack, the grown-ups spent the evening relaxing and making smore's over the fire pit.

The next day, Thanksgiving Day, while Gammy and Poppy worked hard to prepare the Turkey, Grandpa Sacksteder came over to visit with me and Addie (oh, and our mommies and daddies).


Addison and I waited patiently for the Thanksgiving Day festivities to begin and passed the time by playing Ring Around the Rosie ("Bear" played too)!

I got the hang of the game pretty good minus the part where "we all fall down."

Gammy prepared a wonderful Thanksgiving meal which everyone enjoyed and we all had a wonderful day!!! We ended the day with a visit to great-grandma and grandpa's house to visit all of my "greats" and "2nd's, 3rd's" etc!

As usual, Addie and I were inseparable while we were together!!!!

Addison gave me a lot of really good hugs!

And she put her arm around me!

Another activity of the day....and the only reason I am mentioning this is because I am rather proud of my great hair and dimples too! Aunt Kristi decided to put my hair in bows and then followed up by instructing me to go show my mommy and daddy! :) Being the obedient self that I am, I did just that!!!

To baby boy Frazier, if you see your mommy coming towards you with bows and Addison is no where in site......RUN!!!!! ;)
