This Christmas

Last Year, Christmas In California

The merry Elf, Santa, Bradley, Gavin and Mommy

I had to stop and sit down during the tour to catch all of his spit-up

He loves smiling at mommy :)

Our Family Picture at the tree lighting that

we never saw lit b/c it was taking forever so we left.

Well, I havent posted in a while but thats not uncommon for me. I just wanted to share some more pictures and give you an update on the boys. Bradley and Gavin have both been sick for weeks now and today got officially put on an antibiotic due to their infections. So we will be up to our ears in that pink yummy miracle medicine (at least Bradley and I like it, I always loved it as a kid). Bradley and Gavin both have to take it twice a day. At the doctors today I found out that Gavin weighs almost 14 lbs and he will just be 2 months old on the 21st. Crazy! Hes so close to doubling his birth weight. Another things that crazy is all the traveling we will be doing with the kids. We are headed to Maryland the day before Christmas Eve to celebrate with my family and then flying from there to California to see Brads family after Christmas and into the New Year! We are excited to see everyone and for everyone who hasnt yet to be able to meet Gavin but we arent looking forward to all the "traveling" because lets be honest, traveling with kids just isnt fun or a walk in the park either. Before we leave we are going to celebrate Christmas here. Its Brads last day of work today before he goes on his extended "holiday" so Santa is doing an extra special visit to our house on Monday night. I am so excited to bake cookies with Bradley and set out cookies and milk for Santa with him. We also have reindeer food we are sprinkling on the lawn so they can find our house by the smell and theirs sparkles in it that light up under the moonlight. Wow, after all that you totally believe again dont you? haha! I hope everyone has a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. Just covering my basis incase I dont write again before that!

Christmastime is Here!

The warm fireplace puts him to sleep!

The Tree and Gavin

Bradley Helping with the Ornaments

One of his Baby Ornaments!


Christmastime is here! I love the holidays! This post is very late. I actually had the tree done Sunday after thanksgiving which are the ones of Bradley helping. He was so cute, when he woke up from his nap and saw the tree he said " Wow, Its Beautiful! Is that for me?" He now has a name for every ornament on the tree. Its so funny that he thinks they all need names. he asks me for ones hes stumped on what there name can be? This past weekend Liz and I took Bradley, Gavin and Sophia to see Santa which I will have to get the pictures from her. But Gavin was all decked out in his holiday gear for his picture! The other pictures are actually from today, My mantle with our family stockings hung by the chimney with care and Gavin sleeping so cozy and warm. This Christmas will be a special one. Its the 5th Christmas with Brad and I happily married, Bradleys 3rd and Gavins 1st! This is the first year that Bradley is able to really get into it and comprehend santa, presents, giving and most importantly baby Jesus and the real reason for the season! More Holiday cheer to come...cant wait!
