St Nick (12-6-11)

Gavin was excited to see that he had been good and that St. Nick left him a few things in his sock.  He was probably most excited about the candy:-)

All of his goodies- St Nick brings a new pair of Christmas pajamas every year.

 Who doesn't love Pez?

 Yeah more candy!

 He may or may not have eaten 2 Oreos and a whole thing of Pez before he got to school. 

 Elfie looked on.  Santa sent us this elf Sunday after Thanksgiving and since you have to name them for them to get their magic, Gavin named him Elfie.

So far Elfie has told Santa 2 times that Gavin was on the naughty list, other than that he's been on the good list.  I really like doing the elf on a shelf, certainly is a good motivator this time of year.

Cookies (12-2-11)

Aunt Cindy had all the boys over to decorate Christmas cookies.  Of course they were all wild and they sure did an interesting job of decorating.  The most important part though- they had a good time.

This is them getting ready:

 Runner

 Owen

 Gavin

 Pace

And for some of the finished products:

 And even when the other boys ran off to play Gavin kept decorating, but this kid loves cookies so much we should nick name him The Cookie Monster.

Looking forward to this holiday season and all of the memory and special times they create.
