Down on the Farm, that's where we'll be....
to Celebrate Hunter turning Three!!!!
Hunter was very lucky to have a "Fairy Princess" attend his party, isn't she beautiful!!!

Hunter loves this tractor my Grandpa made, it is his perfect size and he can drive it all by himself!

Daymon caught right on and enjoyed it too!

A Farm Themed Party wouldn't be complete without a John Deere Tractor Pinata!!!

I thought Hunter would love something he could finally hit and not get in trouble for :0)

Daymon taking his whack at it!

Paige taking the final swing!

I thought filling the Pinata with more toys than candy was a good idea, but it only took Hunter a few minutes to start taking the cars apart, and now I find little wheels all over the house :0(

The kids really did have a ball :0)

Noah getting right into it!!! Molly was the perfect size to get the prize!

Daymon's excited!!! Cars, Airplanes and Parachute Men a boys dream!

Molly getting the hang of things!

Lucas, one of the cutest farmers I've ever seen!!! The kids had so much fun at the party, the only draw back was the unusually warm weather brought out the bees and the mosquitos :0( Poor little Paige was Polka-dotted for a week! More birthday pictures coming soon....

Come with me on a flashback to....

Hunter's "Down on the Farm" themed Birthday Party!

The farm wouldn't be complete without John Deere Tractors! Great Grandpa Gruss kicking off the fun with the first ride!

Papa getting adventurous with the rides giving the kids quite a thrill!! The moms too :0)

Hugs for everyone!!! Paige and Hunter have always had a special friendship! Just a few weeks ago Miss Amy watched Hunter, the kids had fun playing piano, dress-up, and making cookies! Apparently, Hunter looks very nice in a tiara, fairy wings and high heels :0)

Molly enjoying her first hay ride...she's such a doll!!!

The kids had so much fun....well maybe not JUST the kids! more fun from the party coming soon!!!!

Last weekend Hunter went to the Smith Christmas party....

Where he visited with Santa for the first time this year.

I hear he asked his Papa, "will you pretend to be Santa next year???" He's so cute!

The true Spirit of Christmas.....The Live Nativity at Bethesda Church.....we waited for a total of three hours but it was worth the wait!!!

Some of our favorite parts of the experience were the camels....

...the donkeys and the sheep (that Hunter and I got to pet :0)

Most of all though, was remembering in the busy holiday hustle what the true meaning of Christmas is....and how Blessed we really are!!! Especially me! I have this amazing child, what a gift!

NOW PRESENTING.......

Hunter Cole making his Grand entrance to his first Christmas Program!!!!

A little confused at first, but got organized in time to sing "Away in a Manger" with his Sunday school class called Jam'n Toddlers :0)

Away in a manger no crib for a bed, the little Lord Jesus lay down His sweet head....

The stars in the sky looked down where He lay.....

The little Lord Jesus asleep in the hay!

Hunter was so adorable singing and signing his song, I was so proud I was in tears, it must be a mom thing :0) So, Ok I realize I'm on everyone's list for not posting....I skipped from Halloween all the way to Christmas, I have some making up to do, I will work harder! It will be my Christmas gift to Hunter's fan club!
