Christmas

Christmas Eve

Gabrie and Sammy dressed up in the new "dressups" for Grandma and Papa Yaya's


What is more Christmas-y than facial hair? Really lots of things but Shane, Kiley and Luke seem to think it is!

Christmas Morning! I think Luke woke up first, then me, then Livvy and we all waited for Gabrie!

Livvy's first Christmas Morning!She kept making this face, it is hilarious!
Finally Gabrie woke up ( :

Merry Christmas!

Photographer in the making!

Here are the pictures Gabriella took on Christmas Eve, they are pretty good!












She loves taking pictures with my camera and it entertains her for quite a while, which is wonderful! Maybe she'll be a photographer one day!

Christmas Sunday (the Sunday before Christmas that is)


I just love this one, what a cute family I have!My birthday! The girls helped me open my presents.
Another big snow day, luckily Sydney and Caleb were out for the break so Gabrie had someone to play with in it!

As part of Luke's school's Sub-4-Santa program he had to wear a dress and do a dance! It was pretty fun and he was a good sport! Gabrie and I went to watch it!
Gabrie actually took this picture! It is perfect, she caught him in mid air! And this is the only picture he would allow to be posted ( :

Thanksgiving

Gabriella's preschool class did a little Thanksgiving presentation and had lunch. Here are the two classes all together, Gabrie is sitting on the floor in the back, you can barely see her! She was so shy and quiet, not at all like her! She had been singing all the songs at home but only sang a few words that day, must be stage fright (:


Her teacher asked all of the kids what they were thankful for and this is what she said:


(that means Livvy) so cute!

The week of Thanksgiving was busy and fun! All of Luke's family was in town so we spent most of our time with them. Here is our Wednesday Thanksgiving dinner!
Luke and I enjoying the drumstick!

Livvy's first Thanksgiving Dinner, she loved it! Unfortunately she had two black eyes because someone dropped their cell phone on her when they were putting her down! (Ok it was me, I felt horrible!)



The little girls table Gabrie, Livvy, Anna, Izzy, and Ashlyn- just missing Ali and Sam.
