it has been quite busy around our household.
we had gavin's baptism on november 15th at zion lutheran church. i was completely shocked when the whole service was done and gavin didn't even make a screach. he was such a good boy! it was perfect and we couldn't of asked for anything more. we continued our day by coming back to our house and eating our lives away on so many goodies. it was wonderful to have all of our families together celebrating this special day for gavin.. he slept almost the whole time people were here.. it was naptime so i somewhat understand.
we took some family pictures out at the smith residence. i am very, very excited to get them back. sarah pollio took them and she does amazing work. gavin was a doll the whole time, many many smiles. they should be done sometime this week :)
and now thanksgiving. there is so much to be thankful for...
..dan has an amazing job. granted driving back and forth is getting a little old, he makes good money and enjoys what he does. cannot complain about that..
..all of our families are healthy and safe. this is the first year we haven't lost someone around a holiday and we are very greatful!
..we have gavin. although this teething process drains every bit of energy and patience out of me by 8 pm, i am so happy to have him. i went to st cloud for four hours on saturday and was more than ready to come home to him. i am GREATFUL for him, and to be able to stay home with him everyday.
..our parents and friends and family are around. when we lived in montana or even the cities there was so much driving and even some holidays where we didn't get to see our families, we are so close to everyone now.
..our friends are honestly, hands down, some of the best people ever. we always enjoy eachothers company and love to spend time together.
..we have so much love for eachother. dan and i have had our fair share of complications but are stronger and happier than ever before.
THANKSGIVING... ahhhh
i am guilty for loving the night before thanksgiving. everyone comes home, the class of 05 reunites and things go back to the way they used to be, like high school. it's silly that i love it so much but it's wonderful to see everyone's faces and hear how everyone has been. it's funny that the night goes by so fast and we want to relive it every day after, hangover or not.
and thanksgiving... ahhhhhhh what's not to love about thanksgiving.
we went over to dan's parents house around noon and ate an amazing lunch. turkey, ham, stuffing, corn and everything else that's sinfully wonderful. later that night we went over to my moms and enjoyed yet another amazing dinner. AND we get to relive that amazing food again this saturday at my dad's sides thanksgiving. i'm debating on bringing gavin with, since we usually drink more booze than we eat food. i guess this time i'll just make dan drive home ;)
dan has all the sudden taken the time to be mr. fix it aroudn the house. usually he just keeps to himself out in the garage.. tidying it up for the fifteenth time this week. he got a new faucit for the kitchen and a new garage door. i really like the new door and want to get rid of the other two red doors that are on our house... ew... today we, and when i say we, i mean dan, put up the christmas lights outside! it's so beautiful!! i refuse to take pictures yet because we NEED to have snow... if that will ever come. next weekend comes the tree :) wait, i mean three trees! gavin seems to be kind of interested in the holidays. today i put him in some christmas lights and he thought it was great. i guess he's like his momma... being that dan is kind of a scrooge about the holidays... BAAH HUMBUG to you dan! i am more than ready to have gavin grow up in a house that loves christmas time, christmas music and all. that is if dan dosent' throw away all the cds :)
the holiday time makes me so happy... but i need to start my christmas shopping, should be so much fun shopping for gavin this year. AND he'll be 6 months old on christmas day!!! time is going by so fast.
