Christmas 2011

What a wonderful (and eventful) year it has been! We are so grateful to everyone in our lives and especially our families. How blessed we are to live so close to both sets of parents as well as many siblings. To have two happy and healthy children who bring so much joy to our home and lives is truly the icing on the cake! We had a great Christmas at our home and it was so fun to see Gage get so excited about it this year. Between Santa, grandparents, and mom and dad our kids were really spoiled! Here are a few pics from the day! Happy Holidays to everyone! We hope 2012 brings you many blessings and joy!

Here you can see just some of the presents hiding beneath the tree.

Lucy hugging her Minnie doll Santa left in her stocking.

Santa brought Gage two cap guns! As you can see he is very excited about it!

Uhh... yea I guess this hummer is pretty cool!

Lucy's favorite toy from Santa. A Leap Frog Learn n' Play ride along train.

Although my mom helped me make a beautiful new blankie for Lucy, she still only has eyes for this one! Is she ever a blankie baby!!!

Gages' first words out of his room were "Holy Cow!"

Gage turns 3!

Our baby boy is getting so big! He turned 3 on December 8 and we had some family come over to help us celebrate. It was so fun watching him open his presents and thanking everyone who came. I was given numerous compliments on how kind and grateful Gage was during the party. He made sure to give hugs and kisses to everyone who came and he was just genuinely so excited over every gift he opened. I made him a dragon cake which he thought was pretty cool. I showed it to him early the morning of his party and he kept going out to the garage refrigerator to look at it all day long! Gage is in the 50% for his height and weight and his doctor is really impressed by his vocabulary. He is so talkative and fun and is seriously the wackiest, silliest, and just downright life of the party wherever we are. He loves attention and will do some of the funniest things to get it. We are laughing all the time at the things he does! He brings so much joy and life to our home! We love you so much Gager!
