Merry Christmas!!!


Eden enjoyed a wonderful Christmas holiday at Grandma and Grandpa Budde's house this year.  
Uncle Russ, Aunt Kelly, Uncle Jack, Aunt Bernadette and cousin Drake all came to NC to celebrate together.
We all had a great time hanging out together.
Grandma and Grandpa got Eden her a wonderful wagon!
She rode in it all around the farm.  Drake gave her a nice ride!
Grandma set Eden up to eat on the same step stool that Drake used to snack on!
We all just love the adorable red coat Grandma got for Eden.
When we got home from our trip, Eden seemed to want a little time to herself...

Our little helper

Eden is only 15 months old and yet she is already willing to pitch in around the house.  Her current "chores" consist of helping to unload the bottom rack of the dishwasher and filling the dog and cat food bowls with food.  What is great about her helping with the dishes is that she thanks me every time she hands me something from the washer (which of course she doesn't say even once in this video!).
The only downfall with her "helping" is the excess food that is wasted when she tries to fill the food bowls and since she has started "helping" we've broken two cat food bowls.  Oh well, I'll take whatever help I can get these days!

Thanksgiving at the farm


Happy Thanksgiving!
 We spent our long weekend with Grandma and Grandpa Budde.
 Grandpa is also known now as GaGa,by Eden. Every time we asked Eden where Grandpa was, she would walk into his office saying, "GaGa". So, there you have it. She sure has come a long way from earlier this year when it took our entire visit for her to warm up to him. Now, Eden just can't seem to get enough attention from her GaGa.
We spent a lot of our time at Grandma and Grandpa's farm outside.  We went to the barn with Grandma each morning and evening to see the animals. Eden's favorite  thing to do these days is to dole out cookies to all of the animals.
We spent so much time holding our hands out and yelling cookie to the horses, that Eden eventually just walked around with her hand stretched out saying, "cookie, cookie!".

We went on a lot of walks around the farm, it was so nice...we can't wait to go back for a visit at Christmas!!
