Snow! Snow! Snow!!

Neely was able to experience her first snow last week...I don't think she really cares for the cold weather!  (She gets that from her mommy!) I was looking through old pictures and got all teary eyed seeing how much Gabe has grown!  Here are some pictures from his 1st snow til' now!  My, time flies!!! 

Gabe's first time sledding!!!

We got about 3 inches of snow on Tuesday, so Tuesday night I took Gabe sledding!  I wasn't sure that he would like it, but after the first "small" hill he was HOOKED!!!  He kept getting braver and braver.  He kept telling me that he wanted to go "all by myself"!  I was a lot nervous, but I let him go and he LOVED it!!!  He laughed the entire way down!  I thought he was going to fall off when his sled actually went over another sled that was buried in the snow.  He didn't fall, but he did "catch some air"!!!!  We had so much fun!  I can't wait to do it again soon...maybe next time David will be here and we'll take Neely so the whole family can have fun in the snow!

Santa Clause 2009!!!

I took Gabe and Neely to see Santa last week!  Gabe had fun telling Santa that he wanted "cars, trucks, and trains with the tracks!"  He looks scared to death in the picture, but he really had fun!  Neely, on the other hand, didn't like Santa quite as much!  I don't think that she was scared of him, but she just doesn't really warm up to strangers quite as quickly as Gabe does!!

My what a difference a year makes!!

Getting ready for Christmas!

It's been a really long time since I've posted on my blog... sorry, we've been really busy.  The week before Thanksgiving I flew Gabe and Neely down to my mom and dad's house, then I flew to NYC to meet David for the weekend, then we flew back to KC, then we drove down to Mississippi the Tuesday before Thanksgiving, then we went to Raylin's 2nd birthday party on Sunday, and lastly drove home.  Since then we've just been going to Christmas parties and getting ready for our first Christmas at HOME!!  I'm excited and sad about this at the same time.  I'm glad that we don't have to travel, but I'll miss being with family.  We are hopeful that my sister-in-law, brother-in-law, niece, nephew and mother-in-law will come before Christmas, and my mom is coming Christmas day.  Here are a few pictures that we've taken over the holidays so far!
