Christmas 2010 at our house

We sang beautiful Christmas music with our Stake/Community Choir - Messiah, carols, classical, contemporary.  Also displayed are creche, artwork of the Savior, and trees decorated "from around the world".  Claire loved the little lamb in this nativity.

So worth it just for the pic of that sad, scared face.  Ha!

Pointy hat, red & turquoise combo, candy cane stripes, red mary janes.  Fun all around.

 Dressing up in high heels while Mommy dresses the tree.

I just want to squeeze him.  :)

Matryoshka dolls from Grandpa & Grandma Paul in Hong Kong.

Our Gift, under the tree.

Smile.

Kick.

Toes.

Yawn.

Claire found the chocolate while I was busy snapping pics of the bebe.  That's my girl.

December 2010

Claire gives Gavin tummy time encouragement.

Big boy feet.

I think all babies make this face.

"Reading" time with big sister.  It was most likely a Princess story.

We got out of the house!  Snoqualmie Falls on a freezing cold day.

Those eyes!

Christmas 2010 at Grandma & Grandpa's

Dinner around the ping-pong table at Grandpa Dee's house.

Ken, Krisi, and kids.

Last Christmases for Rich's Grandpas, Dee and Ace.  They will be missed.

Grandpa Ace - always wearing a bright smile!

Grandma Laura and Uncle Lance.

Thrilled at the thought of Christmas presents.

Claire LOVES her cousins!

Rich is a wonderful Daddy.

Dance Friends Meeting Gavin

My friends Kara, Amy, and Natascha were so sweet to come meet Gavin and bring him gifts too.  We continuously feel blessed by thoughtful friends.

Amy whipped together a quilt saturated with colors.

Another day Karen and Christine visited.  Karen brought her fancy camera and sent me these lovely shots.

Perky.

Cutie-pie Claire loves to chat on the phone.

 

Sweetness!

This picture makes me feel like I am his everything.  {Love}  

Sleeping through December 2010

The newborn sleepy phase!

Chubby cheeks.

Stretch.

Huh?

The lips I can't help but kiss.

Scrunchy face.

So peaceful.

With just a little bit of crying.

I love Claire's pink cheeks.

And her little tongue peeking out.  :)
