Ok, so this isn't what you're thinking.....there will be no presents given, no fake snow on the lawn, no winter wonderland summer here. It's actually just a blog post that's only about 7 months overdue! It's a very long story but the cliff notes version is basically this...my computer crashed and I had only saved my holiday photos on my desktop (dumb, I know). And for a variety of reasons it has taken me and my IT guy this long to get them back. But, thankfully they are safe and sound on my new external hard drive that Christian says has like a gazillion gigabytes. He also claims it will be enough room for every picture I take for the rest of my life. Has he seen how many pictures I take?!
Anyway, in my attempt to always be photo-fair with my kids, I wanted to make sure that I documented Gavin's very first Christmas. Looking at these pictures many months later, it makes me so sad to see how fast the boys have grown and how much they have changed. And really, do I need to be reminded of how much weight I had to lose - ugg! But it's not about me right! So without further ado, here are our Christmas 2011 photos for you to enjoy now. Feliz Navidad...
Our pretty tree before the present-opening chaos...
By the looks of those bellies, it's clear that my Santa's definitely ate the cookies...
Gavin snug and warm in his daddy's arms. Ok, so it was probably 70 degrees, but it just sounded cute...
Mommy and Gavin, who is dressed appropriately in the new Christmas jammies that mommy bought him. Notice below that Jack is wearing a random, navy blue Most Awesome Big Brother t-shirt. We absolutely could not coax him into his holiday pj's that morning...
Happily opening all his favorite Disney characters....Phineas & Ferb and Special Agent Oso...
Jack still has a little bit of his baby chub here - so cute! But sadly, that's all gone now...
Rockin out to his new guitar, that played Life is a Highway. For those of you who don't get the reference, it's from CARS the movie, of course....
Jack got a huge red foam chair for his room so that he and daddy could snuggle while reading books...
But clearly it's for more than just snuggling and reading...
Gavin loves the chair too...
After presents it was off to Mimi and Papa's house for family time and more presents! Here are all the cousins. You should have seen us try to get a good shot of them all, and this is the best we got...
My little color-coordinated family...
