Our little reader

Dylan loves reading books and he was so excited to get two new books from Great Aunt Pat & Great Uncle Jim & Aunt Loretta. We won't tell him the book is upsidedown :)

Opening Presents

All the great-grandkids open their presents together. Dylan loved and it and Andy was so cute helping Dylan unwrap his gifts.

Lensing Christmas Party

It's tradition with the Lensing family to have their Christmas Party right after Thanksgiving so we started things off right. We took a 2 1/2 drive down to Wabasso and Dylan did really well he only got fussy when we were 5 minutes away. It was great to see everyone and we all had a really good time. It's also tradition to have everyone's picture taken with Grandma Lillian. The first photo is of all the grandchildren and great-grandchildren, the second photo is all of the great-grandchildren, and the last is our family minus Ed & Kathy :(

My sweet baby

I honestly cannot believe how fast he is growing up. He's 22.5lbs and he's going to be 14 months next week! Every moment is so precious & this Thanksgiving I have so much to be thankful for.

Dylan and his mom

Apparently Dylan didn't feel like smiling for these pictures, but he had a long day and we ended it by visiting his great aunt Vicki in the hospital.

Snuggles

Dylan, Auntie, and lil' baby Chiabotti are snuggling. Apparently the baby was feeling crowded and kept kicking Dylan while he was cuddling.

The feast

Awww so sweet.

Turkey Day

More Thanksgiving pictures. Dylan with his aunt and uncle :)

Happy Thanksgiving!

We had a very happy thanksgiving at my mom's house. Of course we missed a family photo but here are some pictures from the day. Dylan is still hesitant to walk but he's getting there & he looks so cute in his turkey day duds.

Dylan and daddy. Dylan's most favorite word right now is daddy. He calls everything daddy it's pretty funny.

Unexpected guests

Our furnace recently went out and Ryan's uncle Bernard & his son-in-law were nice enough to help us replace it.
We were so excited when they brought Matt and Isabella to come play with us.
It was fun for Dylan & Andy to have some cousins to play with.

Izzy saw the guitar and asked Ryan to play a song, before long we had family band.

Coloring

Dylan has started to color.
He's been doing a lot of art projects at daycare and we've realized he loves to play with crayons, especially with his cousin.
He doesn't understand why he can't color on everything, which is why the highchair comes in handy.
