Hunter and I spend lots of time in the kitchen cooking. Hunter is a great cook and really enjoys helping me mix, bake, pat...really just whatever I will let him do. One evening he decided he could cook in the pots all by himself.
My scarves were great to mix and really yummy all cooked up!
Finding just the right spot. We had to do a bit of rearranging after bedtime as most of the ornaments hoovered around the 36 inch mark.
First, he thought it was really cool to check the lights.
We had to make a late night run to K-Mart in the midst of putting up the tree. I stepped on our tree base and it cracked in to pieces. Turned out to be a blessing. Who knew we actually needed a tree stand about 3 times the size of the one I broke. Maybe that explains why our tree kept falling over last year.
I wish I had put this on video. Hunter pulled all these little Christmas people off the shelf and decided to sing and dance with them. Christmas music was playing in the store and he felt the need to bust a move with an audience!
Yesterday we were cleaning up some of our Christmas mess in the basement and Hunter found these two sleds. ( He calls them skateboards, regardless of how many times I tell them they are SLEDS!!) He loved them. We took them outside and he sat in them and pulled them around. When we came in I put them in the living room. I fixed him a snack and the next thing I knew he had pulled the 'skateboards' to the Christmas tree in the dining room and was sitting in it eating his snack. So, for the past two evenings he chooses to eat his snack in front of the Christmas tree while sitting on his skateboard!
Abby is never too far away from our crumb dropper!
This is Hunter's new big boy car bed. He loves this bed! He did a great job sleeping at Gaga and Grand-daddy's house in their big boy beds but towards the end of the week he kept asking me for his 'car bed.' We had a great time in PM, but we were all glad to be back home. Hunter was exhausted and slept until 9 the next morning!
Ready for bed!
And I couldn't forget to introduce the newest member of the Hunter/Shelton family. Meet Shelton Elijah Knox. He is Hunter's 2nd cousin. What a cutie pie he is!
Chloe loves babies!
Hunter loves his Grand-daddy! Hunter is showing him how to dig with his rocks.
Hunter insisted that Benji be present for his bath. 
Hunter loves Benji and I think Benji secretly loves Hunter. Benji and Toto are not exactly what you would call kid friendly puppies, but Hunter loves them anyway. Benji actually lets Hunter pet him and participated in a friendly game of chase the ball. Toto remains hidden under the bed for the majority of our stay.
More construction underway....
and Benji enjoys the fun too.
Playing after dinner.
Hunter and Chloe on their way out to visit with Granny.
Stopped long enough for a quick picture!
Not sure what they were doing here. Chloe has the best imagination and Hunter goes right along with whatever she tells him to do. I think they just got back from the beach. I asked her where the beach was and she promptly replied, "Go up the stairs and take the first right."
The holidays would just not be complete if Hunter did not get to drive Papa's tractor. Yes, he actually drives it. He is able to stand up behind the wheel and drive.
Joy riding in the Barbie jeep. Chloe is only lucky if Hunter lets her come along!
Chloe and Hunter's special Thanksgiving table.
Caught! He kept hovering around the appetizer table....JPG)
