It's Beginning To Look A Lot Like Christmas
Peter the Elf is finding life at the Carlson Home such fun!
There is magic in the air...
~Through a child's eyes~
A Huge Milestone
The rite of passage from babyhood to boyhood...the loss of the first baby tooth!
The Tooth Fairy kindly left Abe's tooth for him to keep. She often does that with the first tooth.
Abe found toothbrushes, a couple of small toys, and some money under his pillow!
Such a generous Tooth Fairy...
Thanksgiving
Abe's animal friends enjoyed a Thanksgiving Breakfast courtesy of Abe.
Auntie Brooke loves her Abe!
An amazing Thanksgiving Dinner was held at Cassi and Pat's home.
Abe helped with all the cooking for his family's little post Thanksgiving Party.
~Holidays are even more precious because of Abe~
The Red Store
I wonder how long Abe will call Target the Red Store and look forward to a road trip to his mecca every time Oma/Joe come to visit?
I sometimes wish Abe's childhood would last forever...
Steve and Kirsten's Wedding
Our dear family friend, Steve, married his soulmate Kirsten...and we all got to share in this glorious day.
Abe was not too sure about wearing a small flower or being the ring bearer.
Instead, Abe opted to sit and watch...for a short while.
Abe and I decided to take a walk during the ceremony...along with Sloth and Hitty Daisy.
While we waited for the wedding party to finish up with their pictures, Joe, Abe, and I ate doughnuts and played with Legos and dinosaurs.
Later we enjoyed a delicious brunch and then danced and danced!
~Congratulations to Steve and Kirsten!
Halloween 2017
This Halloween, Abe looked forward to dressing up!
What a difference a year makes...
Our Halloween Cow!
Abe's neighbors had the greatest Haunted Castle and Abe LOVED it!
The neighborhood gang...and a few parents.
Mommy's little helper...
Abe and I created a candy store with all of his treats.
~This was the best Halloween EVER~
Pumpkin Fun
Noah took his pumpkin carving very seriously!
Abe just loved exploring the innards of his pumpkin...
Awesome!
The Pumpkin Patch
Abe had a wonderful time at the Pumpkin Patch!
This happy child enjoyed the maze...
And then there were ALL those pumpkins to choose from!
Noah and Joe joined in on the pumpkin fun as well...
At the end of our visit, Abe tried his hand at the wheel of the tractor.
~It was the best of days~

Farm Fun
My happiest days are when Abe visits the farm.
He zeroed in on the boat set I promised him I would have ready the next time he came to the farm.
Our Chippies and Squirrels were in for quite an afternoon.
But first, Abe wanted to go fishing for the picnic lunch he was planning for our friends.
Abe told me the most important thing about fishing is finding the right bait.
He should know...He has fishing experience.
And then there was a trip to the beach.
It really does look like Abe is gathering some sunshine.
Lunch is served!
And then...
Joe thought he might get a bit of a rest.
Abe had other plans.
It was pirate ship playtime.
Two peas in a pod.
And then the water war began!
A change of venue...
Abe wanted to feed the goats and climb on their ramps.
Abe has been a bit hesitant about climbing this narrower plank, but announced to Joe is was ready to do it...on his own.
And he did!
Back in the barn...
Our goats absolutely love Abe.
Our funny grandson decided to "pee" just like the goats.
He laughed forever...and so did we!
Toby especially enjoys Abe's company.
Back in the house...
Abe's favorite Hittyville Borough is Hittyville Village. This is where I have replicated my childhood home and forest, and more scenes from my youth. My Mom and Dad dolls seem to be watching their great-grandson and this moment brought tears to my eyes.
Change of pace...
Joe and Abe played Dinosaur Castle.
Cookie break!
Time to head home...
We visited the barn loft with Noah, Amy, and Abe to ask if they wanted to take some of their stored belongings home.
Abe spotted my old Thomas toy chest and we decided he was more than ready for it.
I had been worried about the edges, but Abe is 4!
Back home...
Abe is loving his new train and still on the go after a busy day on the farm.
~It was the VERY best of times~
