Christmas Fun

Gavin had a big week of Christmas fun! We started our celebrations on Monday at Rob and Peg's house gathering with my family. Peg made a delicious lasagna lunch and then it was on to the presents. Things sure have changed a lot since last Christmas, a year ago we were waiting and wondering who that little person was growing in my belly, this Christmas we were chasing around our little man who kept trying to crawl over everyone's presents.

Gavin was very spoiled by everyone. He got some fun and noisy toys (payback for all the noisy toys we have gotten for our nieces and nephews), and also some money that Gavin decided he should put in the bank and save for college. It was a fun day spent hanging out with family.

We were planning on heading down to Madison, SD on Wednesday afternoon to spend a few days with the Krusemark family, but the stomach flu changed our plans a big :( so we ended up staying home on Christmas Eve. While we didn't feel great, it was nice for the 3 of us to spend a quiet day at home. That doesn't seem to happen very often anymore.

Gavin must have been a good boy because Santa paid him a visit....

G got most of the things he asked for...sippy cups, a new toothbrush, some snacks and 2 new Christmas ornaments

And the favorite is...the new toothbrush!

G's new friend...George

Kisses for George

By Christmas Day we were all feeling much better, so we jumped in the car bright and early and drove down to Madison! We spent another day eating good food and enjoying the company of Cary's family. G was once again spoiled by his Grandma and Grandpa and aunts and uncles. What a lucky little boy he is.

With the Christmas fun over it was time to start thinking about Gavin's First Birthday!
