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.

Gabe wanting me to get a picture of "Big George too".
This truck was outside because they had just gotten back from a run to the grocery store.

SNOW!

Nathan's birthday

backpack

Ready to go to work, mama! Doesn't he look so cute with his backpack (bag, as he calls it)? This was on our way out the door this morning. He had Bumba, George, several trains and cars, snacks and water in this backpack. He was set!

Here is a picture from a couple of weeks ago when I first tried to put "footie" pajama's on Gabe for the first time. Needless to say, he didn't like them. He kept pulling on the feet and saying "off, please". It was so sad. What can I say? He's a sandal boy like his momma.

Here are a few pictures from our trip to fair this past weekend. We fed some animals, rode the ferris wheel and watched the parade.

Here's a sweet picture from our playdate yesterday with Gabe's friend Gracie. Gracie was hugging him goodbye. Grace's little sister Hope is below.
Here is Gabe getting his first hair trim . He wasn't too sure about it, but he did pretty good sitting still. This was just a trim, not a cut. So it wasn't official.

Mommy may have trimmed it a little short in the back. Oops! That's daddy's hand in the picture, but we were just re-creating the moment for a picture. =)
