Christmas in St. Louis

Here are some pictures of us celebrating Christmas with just our little family, before we came to Iowa to visit everyone. They were so excited to get to open presents early, and excited to put the last advent story-booklet on the tree. But they were also super excited to leave for Iowa to go sledding-we have not had any snow in St. Louis (though they say we may get some tonight), and the boys had been really bummed about that. Sledding pics to come later...


Daddy's idea to get the boys a bb gun-oh boy!

My favorite part was how they were so happy for each other
and interested in what each person got.

I've yet to see anyone that rivals Gabe when it comes to his response
to his gifts. I really should video it sometime so you believe me.
Last year, I remember my mom saying, "He makes me tired just
listening to him use so much energy!" Let's just say he is VERY
thankful for everything he gets.

Pure bliss...
