Merry Merry Christmas!!

Well, we have had a great Christmas! We had Christmas Eve dinner and Christmas day breakfast with the Fox side in Greenville and then have had Christmas dinner with the Kokinda side. Gabby has been worn out from all of the attention and has seriously had a blast hanging out with all of her Grandparents, Uncles, Aunts and Cousins, and even friends of the family! We have loved watching her enjoy every bit of it, and even whine through quite a bit of it too! =0) She is a little silly at times and picky as to who she wants holding her and not! Gotta love babies!!! Merry Christmas everyone!! We love y'all!!

So...Christmas is coming way too fast!

Well, for some reason it has taken me forever to get on here and post a new post. We have done quite a bit of stuff since Thanksgiving. Jason G. turned 8, which is crazy. I still remember walking around with him holding my fingers and then seeing pictures of him walking all on his own. He has gotten so big and as handsome as ever too. We made it a weekend in Jacksonville over his birthday. He turned 8 on the 4th and Erin through his party that Friday and then he was Baptized on Sunday by his Dad. It was such a awesome weekend. All of it was so fun!! Happy Birthday and Congratulations Jason! The Monday after Thanksgiving we put up our tree. Gabby only made it through the construction of the tree. She didn't get to see the ornaments until the next day. Here Gabby is helping Daddy with the branches!I got this red purse from my boss, Gayle, at the Center a couple of Christmases ago and Gabby absolutely loves carrying it around. I had to snap a few pictures of her being such a little lady already!!
The birthday Boy!!! =0)
Gabby was into everything!!

She loved all of the goodies. She even made her way over to others' plates in order to get more. Crazy girl!!
Erin gave the kids cool balloons and of course Gabby was fascinated!!

We discovered that she likes to push around baby strollers. She was quite determined with it too!

The Mount Zion branch had their Christmas party that Saturday too, so I had to snap a few pictures of that too!!

What a big Day!! Such a gorgeous family!!! Congrats guys!!

Johnny and Nick were playing around, and here is Nick posing for us. He he!!!

Ella doing her usual silent time!! Ha ha!!

Thanksgiving Gala!

Happy Thanksgiving everyone! =0) We went up to Virginia to celebrate the day with my Dad's side of the family. We ate at Uncle Steve's new home, which is really really nice. This picture is our annual grand photo of the Family with "Old Gram" which she likes to be called. I should say my Dad's Mom who turned 82 on Monday. Happy Birthday Gram!! =0) (Click on any of the photos to see them better!)
Gabby had a blast walking around and getting into everything. Pop Pop did a good job of keeping her in one place. She loves her Pop Pop!!

Julia was a huge help too in walking Gabby around. This was right after Gabby decided to sit down and turn around to move. Julia is going to be a huge help to her Mom and Dad when her new brother or sister comes in June!! =0)
Clay hanging out!! Such a cutie!!

Julia hamming' it up for the camera. Too sweet!!
The picture I took before this of Ella was hilarious because Julia was spitting something out behind her, but it was only funny because of Julia. Ella wasn't looking at the camera and wasn't giving this adorable face!! Ya just have to love Julia and her belly!
Grannie was not feeling well at all, she had a horrible cold, but she was wonderful and came along to be with everyone. She ended up outside with the kids a lot of the time, trying not to hack on everyone inside!!

As usual, Gabby wanted down!
Kerriann was posing for me here!

Mom and Molly out watching the kids play!!

Gabby spent dinner up on the table watching whatever was on the t.v. at the time. I think it was a movie that my Dad and his brothers and sisters use to watch growing up for Thanksgiving and Christmas. It was pretty cool!! Gabby was mesmerized!!


As I said before, Gram had her birthday on Monday!! Every year, at least while we have been coming up, they have done a little birthday party for her on Thanksgiving. She is always so cute being surprised!!! =0)

At one point Grannie handed Gabby her cell phone and so she carried it around for a bit, calling people!! I think she called Erin's cell!!

This was how Aunt Molly spent a lot of time that night. Gabby loves going up, but still does not understand how to come back down. So it was a chase up, and a hustle back down in order to start all over again! Thank you Aunt Molly!!

Lovely football. Uncle Johnny did a great job socializing, but also got some game in during our holiday!! Clay was on the coach beside me, doing the exact same thing... watching!! =0)
Gathered for the awesome feast!

Aunt Sheila, Aunt Linda, Dad, Uncle Steve, Aunt Che Che and Old Gram!! This is a annual thing now, to take a picture of all of the kids with Gram!!

On Friday, Aunt Dana had the lovely task of pulling out all of the Christmas stuff for Paw Paw and Grandma's house. We made it over around 2pm and helped until Gabby was just too pooped to be happy! She had a blast playing with her Aunt Dana and loved sucking on the lights.
