Hannah and I made cupcakes one night. It was a lot of fun! She helped me ice them and she put sprinkles in them.
Gavin practiced his cake eating skills for his first birthday. I think he will do just fine eating his cake. I can't believe he is almost one year old!
Gavin looks like a little man in his church clothes! I love how he looks all dressed up!
This little boy can make a big mess sooooo fast! I always have to keep an eye on him to see what kind of trouble he is going to get into. We learned that we have to shut the toilet seat because he like to play in the water! Jan. 15 , 2009
Hannah is always using her imagination. She loves to play with her toys clear up to the second she falls asleep!
Hannah left our box of Whoppers on the floor and guess who found it, Gavin. He LOVES chocolate! He had it all over his jammies!
Our family christmas morning.
Hannah after looking at her stocking. Santa brought her some Dora shoes.
Santa ate all the cookies! Hannah came up to me and said "Santa ate all the cookies and he stole our presents!" I told her that santa left presents but she still insisted that he stole them.

Gavin got some soft cars that he can chew on.
Gavin opened one gift before he gave up and started playing with the wrapping paper.
Isn't he soooooo cute !?!
Hannah got a Dora bath towel. She is OBSESSED with Dora!
Michael got a waffle grey sweater.
While we were making breakfast and Hannah was playing with her play doh set Gavin imprisoned himself under the bar stool.
We are making the traditional christmas breakfast: Biscuits and gravy, potato patties, eggs,and juice. Hannah was our big helper!
Santa left some presents on the doorstep and all the grandkids went into our room to open them. Everyone got christmas pj's.

Gavin has been entertaining the idea of climbing stairs for quite awhile. He would put his knee on the first step and then just put it down again. Then he climbed one step but couldn't figure out how to climb more. He fell lots of times after that. On Dec. 23rd he figured it out. He climbed the stairs all the way to the top. Since then, he has climbed to the top a few times but he has had many falls! I think he climbs up and then turns to took down the stairs had then falls.
My parents came up the see up right before Christmas. I LOVED IT! I was so sad that I couldn't be around the family during Christmas so when they came up it made me feel better. We had a fun and relaxing time. We watched a movie, made christmas goodies ( she helped me make the toffee the right way), and they took me on a tour of McCall. I have lived here for quite a while now and still haven't seen all the cute shops in town. And my parents know McCall better than I do.
While my mom was at my house she to started a blog of her own (AGAIN) and while she was doing the Hannah was playing with her hair. ( Hannah LOVES to play with my hair now!) Well, she got it stuck REALLY bad! I took me awhile to get it out.
I make christmas goodies again this year. I made peanut brittle, fudge, and toffee with chocolate on top. All of it tasted good! The toffee tasted great but it was too soft so I threw the first batch out. Well, Gavin just learned how to stand up next to things and the garbage is now a problem. He found my toffee and started taking the chocolate off the top. Little stinker!
