Merry Christmas from our family…

I hope everyone has a very merry Christmas tomorrow.  I wanted to share some of our Christmas pictures with all of you.  I am leaving some out for the New Years card I plan to do.  Liz took these beautiful pictures of my family and newborn pictures of Easton. Mimi, Dunka and Brad’s Granddad joined in on the fun too! Unfortunately, we couldn’t get a picture of the three boys together, just them, because Bradley can not hold Easton and try to hold down Gavin at the same time.  He just ran right away if an adult wasn’t holding him.

Yes, Brad is holding my belly.  he is either really use to me being preggers or he was being nice and covering my leftover belly.  These were taken 5 days after he was born and yesterday he was 1 week old!

Gavin’s attention keeper was Granddads pocket knife we discovered.  Great parenting right?! ha-ha!
