Gabriel's First Christmas!

Well, we had an eventful yet subdued Christmas this year. We did the first round of gifts on Christmas Eve. Gabriel and I were still both under the weather, but it was fun to celebrate as a little family together.

Gabriel enjoyed his Mega Bloks set.

He is also enjoying the puzzle and Fridge Farm from his Aunt Angie & Uncle Matt. And of course books are always a hit with Gabriel.

This was the year of blocks. Gabriel received Mega Bloks, Haba Fantasy blocks, and soft Knock-Knock Blocks. We're having fun building towers and knocking them down.

The bus from Uncle Brad is great fun. Sometimes Gabriel gets brave enough to practice walking with it. I'm sure he'll be moving all over the place before we know it.

Christmas with a little one is so fun and creates quite the mess. :)

On Christmas Grandma Cherlyn, Grandpa Greg, and Great-Grandma Champion came down. Bless their hearts for risking getting sick. Luckily none of them have caught anything from us. The musical kit was a HUGE hit. I think Gabriel is having fun exploring the instruments. At Kindermusik I think he is too distracted.

The day after Christmas Grandma and Grandpa Wood came for a visit. It was great seeing them. Although my poor mom got sick while here, as well as Brian. :( But, fun was still had.

Currently Gabriel is a fan of clearing off tables.

Grandma built some great towers for Gabriel to knock down, and Grandpa enjoyed giving Gabriel a ride on his new tricycle. (Although I'm not sure Gabriel shared in the excitement of the ride. lol)

But, he likes the tricycle in rocking mode.

Thanks everyone for making Gabriel's first Christmas so special!
