Christmas #1

We have had a busy week, thus there will be lots of new pictures to post! I'll start with Christmas. Since we were travelling for Christmas, we thought we'd have our own little celebration on Saturday before we left. As you can see, there were too many gifts to take with us! We had a fun time - it really did feel like Christmas. I even had trouble falling asleep the night before :o) Speaking of "Christmas Eve," here is Gabe with his new pj's and Thomas the train that he got to open from Yaya and Papa. He was sooo excited!












On "Christmas" morning, the little house was the clear winner. We had a little trouble getting him to come out to open other gifts (but not too much!).
Here's the loot - quite a haul! It was so much fun seeing him get excited. Kids really make Christmas magical. Gabe seemed to understand Santa this year. All morning he kept saying "thank you Santa!"
