A few more Christmas pictures

What a fun ride!
At the lake house for our small group Christmas party with Meghan and Gracie.


Visiting with the horses next door.


It was a beautiful day and a beautiful view! Too bad it wasn't quite warm enough to go swimming.

Christmas in Mesquite

OK, so Gabe pretty much looks scared in all of these, but I thought I'd put them on anyway. This was the big Christmas in the Park that that city puts on every year. We didn't even know there were so many people in Mesquite! We got free hot chocolate and enjoyed walking around. We didn't wait in line to see Santa.

It's been awhile, so...get ready!

Gabe at 9 months with his elephant
The day after Thansgiving, we took off for Branson to meet up with Nathan's mom, dad, and his brother Matt who were driving down from Green Bay via St. Louis. We spend Saturday and Sunday there and left Monday after breakfast. I think I can say a good time was had by all. It was the first time Gabe got to meet his uncle Matt!

Uncle Matt is not quite sure what to do with Gabe
