Christmas Part 1

We started our Christmas vacation this year in Terre Haute, IN and Mt. Carmel, IL visiting my mom as well as my sister and her family. This was the first time in 2 years we were back home for the actual holiday. It was nice to be with family and for Gavin to spend time with his Nana and Bobba and to get lots and lots of attention from the Buss family! We ate A LOT, played games, and laughed laughed laughed. Couldn't ask for much more. Gavin loved every minute of his time there and couldn't get enough of his cousins. It was also so fun to see him really get into Christmas. He loved passing out the presents just as much as opening them. He really also got into singing xmas carols this year....Jingle Bells, Santa Cwaus is Comin' to Town, Wudolf the Nose Weindeer, and many more! Below are just a few of the MANY pics we took. Enjoy!

Gavin had a ball walking the little dog Tanner. He wasn't quite sure he was ready for Bogie!

Some ball time at the high school gym.

A little singing....I believe this was a beautiful rendition of Jingle Bells.

And nap time....

Gavin enjoyed playing with his Uncle Tim and Aunt Kelly.

Ohhhhhh -- what great memories from the most wonderful Christmas ever. Thank you Tara, Bryan and Gavin for spending it with us this year. I have bottled up all the love, hugs, and laughs until the next time we see you. Gavin is the cutest, smartes, and sweetest little boy in the whole world. All my love, Nana
