Baby's 1st Christmas

We can definitely say the Gatsby got the most presents. We are all so crazy about him, we didn't mean for it to get out of control. Surprisingly, Gatsby enjoyed opening presents and knew to pull the paper off.

Baby and the City

We took a trip to NYC to visit our good friends, the Kemps. Ben, Amanda, and baby Owen live in Brooklyn in cute apartment with a Christmas tree hanging from the ceiling! It was so great to see them and this was the first time Gatsby and Owen got to meet. Owen is so cute and growing fast! Our good friend Colleen Kolpak also came to NYC so I got some good girl time in. We went to see lots of the sights like the Rockafellar XMAS tree, Grand Central Station, FAO Schwartz, and the SUBWAY!

Thanksgiving in MTC

We traveled to Mt. Carmel for Thanksgiving. We had a great time there for three days. We had a huge family meal, played family games, and even went to Hog Heaven one night and saw Uncle Bryan perform live! Great Grandma Harris got to see Gatsby for the first time and they were instant buddies.

Little Version of Papa

Gatsby had a great trip to Pittsfield and visiting with all of his family.

To all who read this, please send Papa lots of prayers. He broke his back in three places a couple of days before Thanksgiving.

'Twas the night of halloween, when all through the house not a creature was stirring, not even a mouse!

We had big plans to go out and show off our adorable baby in our sweet costumes, but Gatsby runs the show around here. We started taking pictures around 5:45. So around 6 we put him on the couch (supervised, of course) while we packed his diaper bag and got the car seat. But then we looked over and the mouse was asleep. And were not talkin' about a "mouse" nap. He was gone for the night. We spent a lovely night at home, cuddling and watching a scary movie.
