Hanging Out Over Break

To get into the spirit of being a house wife, Gav put on McKenna's shirt!

McQ washed up in the sink!

McQ had her first biter bisket!

Gavey went potty!

Gav put on his first pair of big boy unders! He wasn't too sure how this was going to work out, but he is getting the hang of it quickly!

X-mas Morn! and Evening

McQ was bonding with great Grandma Millie


Santa brought Gavey lots of new unders for potty training. He will learn soon enough they don't go there!

McQutie couldn't wait to get top her presents!

Christmas!!!!

Aunty Jordan and Matt enjoyed playing with some of Gavin's toys more then he did. Notice there aren't any kids around...at all.

Gavey got a new kitchen from Grandma and Grandpa Fulle. He has been cooking things up ever since, mostly anything McKenna wants to play with.

We were so thankful to have a happy healthy family. Christmas was a blessed event as we were able to spend time with all our family and friends. Tom, Ryan's Dad, was quite under the weather, and gave us a real scare, but we were able to sneak the kids into the ICU Christmas morning, and they worked their magic, because now Tom is home and on the mend! The kids received way too many presents, and loved them all!

Santa Baby

McKenna loves playing santa!

Naughty Santa!

It is a little dark, but still cute. This is what naughty Santa does when you are the first to pass out at a party.

Getting into the spirit!

All the excitement is too much! Gav and McQ take a nap waiting for Santa!

Some holiday posing!

Gavey and McQ are gearing up to help with the bake off! Slober is totally in the ingredients; don't worry it has lots of antioxidents. Enjoy your treats this year everyone :)

Yummmmm! (grunt) Bells.....(grunt)...so good!

Gavey loves taking the ornaments off more then he loves putting them on!
Everyday we have been playing music by the Christmas tree and dancing. Gavin and McQ love gettting into the spirit.

Meeting Santa!

GAVIN SCORED SOME TWINS AT HIS FIRST HOLIDAY PARTY OF THE YEAR! NOT BAD!


Santa brought a fire station for Gavin. He actually sat down, focused and played with it!

Gavin opens his presents with perfect precision. No tearing into it for this boy!

Gavin was a little hesitant at first.

Gavin and McKenna met Santa this weekend, and were given an early Christmas present! This year there were no tears! Grandpa Tom makes a great Santa!

HAPPY THANKSGIVING!

We are so thanksful for our great family and friends this year. We are so blessed to have two beautiful and healthy children. They make us smile and laugh endlessly, and I can't imagine how we use to get through life without them...Oh yeah, we use to sleep.
We are all set and ready to go for the holidays this year. Gavin helped to decorate the tree, and we are only down two ornaments for all the help. He is waiting with great anticipation to meet Santa next weekend.
Thanksgiving was great! Gavin and McKenna had a blast plaing with all their older cousins.

Gavin and Erin were great buddies

Gavin loved Aunty Mary's decorations more then anything else. He spent a lot of time playing with those berries!

Gavin loved wearing a tie!

McKenna was content to sit and meet al ot of her cousins for the first time!

Maureen and McKenna had a great time together!

This is Huey! Mckenna was so excited every time he came around. Maybe because he is a celebrity. You can catch Huey in this year's holiday Walmart commercial. They were great friends, until he solbered on some of her toys. She was angry for a quick bit, but they made up shortly after :)

Happy Thanksgiving Everyone!

Halloween

Gavin needed a sucker break!

Some of Gavin's and McQ's treak-o-treating buddies

The bailey's fairy was a big hit as we traveled the blocks!

McKenna and Gav had a great time on Grandma and Papa Fulle's block

Papa taking Gav to his first houses of the day.

Gav checking to make sure he got good loot

On to the next house!

McKenna wasn't into the candy too much, so she thought she would try the leaf.

Just going to take a little break...

McKenna practicing her scared face

Introducing Gavin the giraffe and McKenna the lady bug!

PUMPKINS!!!

Gavin was feeding the baby gazelles and a wallaby stolen gourds that are not part of their dietary needs. It was not appreciated by animal farm staff. Gavin flashed a huge smile, blinked his long lashes, threw "said gourd' in cage, and took off running, all while mom stood by snapping photos. "Whose kids is that? They should stop him."


Gavin wanted to climb all th pumpkins, rather then pick one out

McKenna and I took a little rest and a rock in a big cozy chair

Gavin was most wanted at the patch for feeding animals "things" other then food.

Gavin was finally apprehended, and Mommy served his sentence with him.

McKenna is always up for a photo

Gavin was more interested with making his gourd a sword

Then Gavin was just annoyed, and putting up with Mom's photos

McQ was the cutest pumpkin in the patch. She had many takers at the low low price, but we decided to keep her.

"It's the great pumpkin patch Charlie Brown!"
