Merry Christmas

Our family dressed and getting ready to go to church on Christmas Eve. As I look at this picture it still amazes me that I am a mother of two beautiful, healthy & happy little guys! We truly had a wonderful Christmas with family and friends and feel so blessed to have such generous and loving people in our lives. This year was extra exciting because it was Gavin's 1st Christmas and Carter is at that age now were he started to understand Christmas traditions and got excited about Santa and just loved singing "Jingle Bells" all season long.
We wish you all a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year~
Love, Dana, Darrell, Carter & Gavin

Gavi & Gabby on their 1st lunch date at Applebee's. What cutie pies they are! Bean & I got together over Christmas to visit and go out for lunch. We played it smart though and decided to leave the big brothers at their grandma's so that we were able to actually enjoy our lunch and conversation. The baby's were so well behaved and it was too cute watching them stare at each other, share toys and even hold hands!

Random picture, but it is of a beautiful gingerbread house that was at the Mulligan's country club. I just love gingerbread houses and I am always amazed by how a bunch of sugary candy can make up such a lovely holiday display!

It's a "Carter concert" at our house these days. This picture is my boys on Christmas morning when Carter got his favorite gift from Santa....his very own GUITAR!

One happy Carty with his 2 new favorite trucks!!! Santa surprised him and brought him a garbage truck that actually has a mini belt that lifts the garbage cans up and dumps the trash in the back of the truck!

Thank you Noni & Grandpa Micheli for Carter's new kitchen set!~ We have been cooking in it all week long! Aunt Knee-Knee got him some cool fake McDonald's food to go with his kitchen so he is sure to fix you up something yummy to eat!

Our little rock star!

Baby G was more interested in bows and ribbons than gifts~ He just sat looking all cute in his new GAP sweater hat that Aunt Knee Knee got him!

Gavin's BIG Christmas present from Santa was a barnyard Jumperoo! He absolutely loves this toy. This is a picture of him in it for the first time on Christmas morning.

Christmas morning and Gavin is checking out another Santa present. This one is a cool symphony textile toy.

Merry 1st Christmas baby G!!! WOW....Noni sure does have a pretty tree. Let me just yank one more ornament off of it! I am sure she hasn't noticed the one I have in my lap yet!

Gavin's first time visiting Santa & Mrs. Claus at the Mulligan's country club Christmas party.

Christmas Eve at Noonie & Papa's house. Carter got a cement mixer truck...aka..."a papa truck"

Not sure who liked it more Carter or Papa. What a cool truck. It was so real life looking, even Gavin was interested in it.
