christmas boxes

OK, these are not in the order I intended them, but I don't have time to change it now. Sorry! Our favorite present is under the tree. =)

Gabe and Linus both like the same box (but not at the same time). This next picture is a little blurry, but I added it because it was a good smile.

Christmas time is here!

Time to visit with Santa! This took place at our church this morning. Our very own Santa (a.k.a. John Brown) was there to visit with children. Gabe did pretty well. He wasn't too sure at first, so momma had to convince him that Santa was not a scary stranger. Maybe we should have just shoved him in santa's lap and let him cry? Those pictures are always classic. =)

'SKETTIOS!

The joys of lunch with a toddler. Gabe mostly enjoyed the meatballs out of his spaghettios, even though the pasta was in the shape of Lightning McQueen.




All cleaned up. Good lunch, mama!

home to KY

I felt like there were too many good pictures here to choose from...so sorry if you get bored looking through these. Gabe had a great time with his cousins, as you will see.
with cousin Jake, playing choo-choo's.


Jake and Delaney
Gabe and Ross

They were all together for Katie's 9th birthday. Above, she is opening a card from Delaney.
Gabe and Irah (6 months apart, almost the exact same size)




Gabe did not want to wear this fire hat, so he decided it was "Ben's hat"
Katie looks annoyed here, but she wasn't (right, Katie?)
Jake didn't want a kiss
Delaney and Irah at their home in Alexandria
An exceptionally good picture of Popaw and Ross
Awww, sweet picture of Gabe and Irah

Back to Texas we go!

Ready for Christmas!

It's a new record!

Three blog posts in one day! We picked out our Christmas tree tonight. Good job, Gabe!

Fire Station!

This morning we took a field trip to our local fire station. The firefighters were very kind to us and gave us a great tour. Gabe became a junior firefighter and got some stickers to prove it.

Gabe did NOT want to sit inside the truck, but we somehow managed to get this picture where it actually looked like he was smiling. He also refused to put the fireman hat on.

Looking out at the fire truck.

This truck was outside because they had just gotten back from a run to the grocery store.
