3 and 21.....let it snow oh what fun

Brycen - 3 months / Gavin 21 months

New Years Eve has come and gone.  The Christmas tree is down and the boys are another month older.    This year Gavin was more aware of the changes around the house for the holidays.  He loved the tree and he helped me to decorate it with photos of our family from the year.  It was a creative way to decorate so it was interactive for him.  He would often take photos off and replace them in new locations.  The lights were by far exciting to look at and he loved the bells on his stocking :)  


On Christmas Eve we had dinner with Busia and Pop which included family presents.  The boys got awesome new blankets, featured in their weekly / monthly photos, and some great clothes and toys!  Gavin loves his new animals and bath toys :)  


Gavin also enjoyed playing with the wrappings from his presents and being pulled in an old school wooden toy.  He had a blast celebrating with the family.  Brycen and Gavin both got into their special jammies from Auntie Elissa and Uncle Tim before heading to bed that night!


Christmas morning the boys woke up to a tree full of special gifts from Santa.  Gavin appeared a bit perplexed by the event but eventually dug into his new cardboard blocks which he enjoys building towers around himself with. 





That evening we enjoyed a Christmas brunch with Ridge and his family.  I attempted a group shot and this is all I could muster with two toddlers on the move.  Chicken and waffles was a super way to end the evening 

                          


Though Gavin did not have an opportunity to visit with Santa this year....partly due to a busy time of year and us not wanting to bring anymore germs to the family LOL, he posed with the life-like Santa at the Honda dealership. This past week we picked up my (our) new family car!  So exciting!!  It is now living with us and it makes me happy :)





In closing,  we did have some snow so Gavin, Chad I ventured out while Brycen was napping.  It was so much fun to watch his excitement as he explored.  Of course I enjoyed photographing the event!






 Let's close with a Brycen collage just because he melts my heart!
