"I'm stuck! "

Gavin has been army crawling for awhile now but he is now climbing over things.( I think its because he watched Camryn do it so much when she was here. ) He is crawling really fast now so he is in everything before we know it. So I tried to make a barricade but that didn't stop him. He did get stuck though!

Christmas exchange

Gavin just learned how to kneel next to things, so at Lisa's house he knelt next to her fireplace and started pulling out all her paper. He was making such a mess but it kept him entertained while we played games

The cousins exchanges gifts at our christmas exchange. Hannah was so excited! Gavin didn't really know what to think. He needs some practice before christmas day comes!



He got a really cute toy that you pull and it vibrates.


Hannah is always looking for a chance to get a piggy back ride.


Jody brought a fun game named Oh Beans! We played it for hours!

My family!

Michael and Jaime- Aren't we a cute couple?

The boys- Michael and Gavin. Does Gavin look like his daddy?

The girls- Jaime and Hannah. I have a shopping partner! :)


Hannah looked so cute in her puffy coat!

Thanksgiving/Christmas with the Pannell's

Amber, Jordan, and Camryn came up to Donnelly for Thanksgiving. It was so fun to finally see Camryn and to play with her. Her and Gavin had fun together. She is so cute!

We had a little snow for Thanksgiving. I think everyone was wishing for more though. Hannah went outside and just kicked the snow around. I guess something is better than nothing!

Since we had the whole family together we decided to take family pictures. We took a sibling picture that turned out really good. The kids of Ernie and Lori are Michael, Jason, Jody, Scott, Amber, and Emilee. And how the family has grown!

And the race is on!

And the race is on! Who is going to win? Who can crawl faster?
So far it is a tie. They are neck to neck in this race!

And then Camryn left Gavin in the dust!


He just sat there wondering what had just happened.




The race took so much out of him that he decided to take a nap!



Coombs Christmas Party!

Cedar is all tuckered out. He's so cute!

All the guys were opening the home decor gifts at the white elephant gift exchange.


The adults did a white elephant gift exchange. It was fun.


Misty and Kielyn opening a gift. And yes, Nathan is behind them. . . or under them.



Peyton had so much fun she fell asleep before she could even open her cousin gift! :)



All the kids went on a scavenger hunt and found presents hidden throughout grandma's house. Once they found a gift they opened their gift and played with it while the adults had a gift exchange. Peyton and Hannah got light up jewelry. Aren't they so cute !?!


All of the grandkids opening their gifts.



She also got a Sleeping Beauty doll with an extra dress.



Hannah LOVES Dora! So when she got a Dora memory game she was SO excited!


As you can tell by Hannah's face she was very excited to get this present! Lots of oh's and ah's.

Who is going to be bigger?


Hannah always tries to be the big helper and pick Gavin up. I'll walk into the livingroom and Hannah has Gavin standing up. The problem with that is Gavin is almost as big as Hannah! I guess boys are suppose to be bigger than girls. :)

Love the froggy jammies!


I LOVE these froggy jammies! They are so soft and are really cute on Gavin!
