Thanksgiving 2009
We drove up to Utah for Thanksgiving for the first time since we moved away. Our main reason for going up was to attend Tyler's endowment session on Friday November 26th. We had a great time with family and friends and ate really good food! Friday afternoon we spent some time with Ariel and David, Gavin's birth parents. It was a nice visit and they got him a bubble-blowing toy lawn mower which he loves! Tyler's session was wonderful. It's always so nice to be in a session with tons of family! Unfortunately when we got home we realized we didn't take any pictures except when Ariel and David came over. Oh well.
We are SO GRATEFUL for the wonderful people in our lives, family and friends alike. We are grateful for the gospel of Jesus Christ which is the center of our lives and brings us such joy and happiness. We are grateful for our adorable son Gavin! We are grateful for prayer, temples and God's hand in our lives.
December Activities
So Santa was a BUST this year!! I was actually really excited that Gavin hated Santa this year. I love the screaming Santa pictures! hehehe
Gavin has been so CRAZY lately. He is learning so much. He can now RUN and tries to JUMP! He loves to "play" the Wii with Daddy and is constantly handing one of us a Wii remote.
He's been really cute with Christmas and presents. He lays on his tummy with his feet kicking in the air and just looks under the tree at the presents. He's SO EXCITED to get to open them! With constant Christmas music on in the house, car and pretty much everywhere else we go, Gavin has become quite the dancer! Anytime he hears music he starts doing a jig, it's SUPER CUTE!
His favorite thing to do right now is give high-5 and knuckles. He has also started saying "hi" and "bye-bye" to everyone. I'll be carrying him out of a store and he'll just start saying "bye-bye" to everyone we pass. The old people love it! Gavin has finally discovered his love of movies. He is CONSTANTLY getting movies out of the entertainment center and asking to watch them. His attention span has improved and he sits and watches for about 20 min. before he's distracted. His favorites right now are Signing Time, Toy Story, Kung Fu Panda and Ice Age. We are really having to limit how much he watches because he wants to all the time!
Jason and I tell each other almost everyday that we have the cutest kid on the planet! However, he has become more challenging too. He gets into everything, is pushing boundaries and throws fits. We are definitely nearing the terrible two's. But, time-out is working for us pretty good right now so we'll keep our fingers crossed.
