Christmas Activities

This Christmas was full of many firsts for Gabby. Below are some samples:

Gabby finally learns to keep a winter hat on (so much so that she likes to wear one around the house).


OrthoWashington's Christmas Party: Dinner in the Space Needle.

Gabby develops a fear of Santa at our church Christmas Party.
(What would Christmas be without a few tears shed over a strange looking man with a beard?)

Gabby becomes a pro at baking Christmas cookies (and stealing dough).

We enjoy an evening with friends walking around the Bellevue Botanical Garden's light display.

We rise early Christmas morning to celebrate Christmas at our apartment, with Mémé (Jen's mom).

Gabby decides that Christmas is a good thing (despite Santa).

Gabby learns to color at her new table.

Our happy family has a wonderful Christmas Day.

We are always thankful for the chance to celebrate Christ's birth each December. We are also grateful for the thoughtful cards and goodies that we received from friends and we wish you all joy and happiness for the year to come!

Such good pictures. I didn't get as good of ones. I think I'll have to steal these from your blog to put on my blog ;)

Just got a chance to check out your blog. Love the falling asleep video. Hilarious. Kudos for speaking French. That's amazing!
