Diaper Boy, Ears and Christmas Cookies

There's never a boring day here at the Kragel house. Lately Zach has been wanting to run around and play with only his diaper on. He thinks it's the most fun thing ever. Mom and Dad are bundled up with tons of clothes and Zach is nice and warm, just in his diaper!





The other thing he's been up to lately is finding things to stick into his ears. One day it was fish crackers; this day he decided on the Mr Potato Head ears.

Last weekend we celebrated Christmas at Grandma Karen's and Grandpa Al's. Daddy and Zachary learned how to make cut out cookies. Cousin Collin and Grandma taught them a few things.
We also got to go sledding again. Zach loved being pulled on the sled. Uncle Tim, Aunt Jodi, Cousins Collin & Rebecca, Momma & Daddy got quite a workout pulling him back up the hill each time. Thirty some pounds started to get heavy!!!
We wish all of you a very Merry Christmas. Take time to reflect upon the reason for the season. Everyone drive safely if you are traveling.

Kicking Around the House

What's new with our boy? He's been having fun looking at the Christmas lights, both at home and around the neighborhood. He says "wow" when he really likes what he sees! He also likes snowmen. We haven't shown him Santa yet; his fear of masks may send him through the roof! He's also been having fun playing with a nativity set, carrying each piece from one spot to another. His favorite piece is the "Baby" (aka Jesus)!
Other than that, the ZMan is growing like a weed. These cute jammas won't fit him much longer!

First Thanksgiving Dinner, Pumpkin Pie included!

This post is a bit late, but here are some pictures from Thanksgiving. Zach had fun playing with all of his cousins, aunts & uncles at Grandma Karen and Grandpa Al's. Cousin Carter was even there to join in on the fun. Check out the guy's group picture on the bottom; if you look closely you will see Carter behind Zach. He is doing very well, 2 months after his open heart surgery.












He is still in the phase of wanting to help with everything so we put him to work with the vacuum & making buns. Do you think this phase will last another 10 years???
