Ready for Church
A couple months ago I bought Gavin this cute little church outfit. I decided to get it out this year & have wear it! He looks so cute in it. The only bad thing is 11 o'clock church, so he was super grumpy before we even left for church! At least he looks cute!

New Years Resolutions
I usually make a couple New Years Resolutions every year, but being pregnant & I can't lose weight, I kind of slacked this year. For the last 5 days I have been thinking about what can I approve on? Here is what I have come up with so far.
*Don't get over 150lbs this pregnancy. It will be harder then with Gavin because I started about 10lbs heavier this time then with him, but I can do it. I only hit 150 with Gavin!
*Don't buy things that we don't need. This is one that Mike & I decided would be a family Resolution this year.
*Save some money.
*Strive to attend all Church meetings. This one has been hard already with 11 o'clock church. Gavin threw the biggest fit on Sunday & we ended up leaving church at 11:58. By 12:10 he was asleep! Somehow I will make it work though.
That's what I have got so far. After the baby is born, I am sure I will have a whole new set of resolutions!

Taking Down Christmas
On Wednesday we took down our Christmas Decorations. Gavin was so into helping. We have a stocking tree holder & he wanted to help Mike unscrew & take it apart! So cute & such a big helper!
Today, Gavin was having kind of a rough day, so we sat on the couch & cuddled! So fun & I will miss these days when we have double duty and 2 boys.

Climber
Gavin has officially hit the climbing stage of life. He will move chairs & climb up them to see what we are doing. Move chairs to climb on them & then on to something different like our Computer Desk. He climbs on the bed, couch, box of new Pots & Pans I got for Christmas, toys that he got for Christmas. He even tries to climb on the new Toy Box we made him for Christmas, but since it doesn't have any easy access points, he slides right off. Pretty soon he will be climbing out of his bed & we will have to get a toddler bed for him or turn his crib into the toddler bed & get a new crib for Greyson. Crazy kid, hopefully he doesn't kill himself or hurt himself badly!

Funniest Part of the Day
A couple Months ago, Gavin started saying Droid. My Brother has one & when someone texts him, it says Droid. So Gavin caught on and started saying it. Back in September we went into the Verizon Wireless store to look at upgrading our phones. They have this Droid commercial on continued play and so it is constantly saying Droid. Gavin would just copy it over and over again and everyone would just laugh and comment on how stinkin' cute he is. It was the highlight of our day! I have TRIED and TRIED and TRIED to upload the video of him saying it, but it won't upload, so this post will just be for memory sake! Trust me though it is SUPER CUTE!
Christmas Day
Gavin woke up at about 7:15 on Christmas Morning so Mike offered to go get him and play with him until his mom got to our house to open Presents. Gavin snuck into our room at 8 so I got up to go look in our stockings before Grandma got there. Grandma came at about 8:30 so it was finally time to open presents. Gavin was super funny about it. He would open a gift and then want to play with it. We had to hide the open toys in order for him to open another one. After about 5 gifts he was done and wanting to play and eat so we opened the rest for him & he was happy just to see what we had opened. We had a really good Christmas this year! We were spoiled! Mike's favorite gift was his Vibram 5 Finger Shoes. My favorite gift was my new Samsung Incredible Phone and Gavin had lots of favorite gifts. He has really played with them all. I made Monkey Bread for Breakfast, but it kind of fell apart, but still tasted great. For Lunch we snacked on all the yummy food we had. At 5 we got together with Mike's Brother's Family and ate a yummy dinner of Deep Fried Turkey, Ham, Potatoes and the usual! We then had our gift exchange and played games.
It was a great day filled with Family, love, peace, and Happiness! It is always great to get back to the root of Christmas and remember the reason for the season! We celebrate Christ's Birth and the Meaning that that has on our lives today! We are truly Blessed!
Christmas Eve
Christmas Eve this year was really LOW KEY for us. I kind of liked it. I woke up really early to get our grocery shopping done before the crowds started in and then spent the day making Banana Bread and Caramelized Cinnamon Almonds, and watching Christmas Movies. YUM! Mike had to work but got home about 6 and we ate a Party Platter with Meats, Cheeses and Crackers. We then opened up our Christmas Pajamas and gave Gavin a bath to get ready for bed. We put Gavin to bed late that night in hopes that we could sleep in a little bit on Christmas Morning! Stay tuned for more Christmas to come...
Christmas Eve Pajamas!
