Look at him go

I am sure that he is the cutest lil' rider I have ever seen. He got the hang of it after just a few minutes. There's a little button to push to make it go, go, go. Now he just needs to work on his steering.

The presents

Ryder got some nice stuff today.

He got his Radio Flyer wagon that he asked for from Nana and Papa.

Grandma and Pappy got him some little people toys, a neat little tikes truck to ride, push or pull, and some clothes.

Mommy and Daddy got him a QUAD, some little people toys, and a cute little golf set :)

tryin' out his new quad, he's ready for the dunes :) It's a fisher price power wheels and goes 2 mph.

Ryder and Jesse

This was Ryder's 1st Thanksgiving and he LOVED it. He pigged out and ate a little of everything.

The Family

Later on at home Ryder decided that he wanted to try and feed himself at dinner time, he kept grabbing the spoon from me.

He took a couple bites himself, but mostly just played!
