ON THE SEVENTH DAY OF CHRISTMAS, MY MOMMY GAVE TO ME...

Seven ducks a-swimming,

Six full ounces of formula,
Five books for bonding,
Four Roll-A-Rounds,
Three keys for cutting,
Two frolicking froggies,
and a teething seal to soothe my sore gums.

OOPS! One must have "swam" out of the picture!

We Are F-A-M-I-L-Y...

Well, most of us claim each other anyway! On Sunday, we had our annual Vance Christmas. It was wonderful to see all my aunts, uncles, and cousins who I only get to see a few times a year. Most of them had not met Gavin yet, so it made for a great day! We were blessed to have Gavin's Great Great Grandma Johnson attend which made five generations in one place! Mommy and Daddy didn't get to see much of him as he was passed around, but we know how much he enjoyed meeting everyone and seeing the new faces. Thanks to everyone for making it a first Christmas for Gavin that we will never forget!

The "Girls"

This is our traditional "serious" pose. Each year, we usually all get the same thing but in different colors. I guess I said that last year was our final year to do it. We were sad when we didn't have our traditional pix taken, so we posed for the camara anyway.

Gavin has been dying for this toy! It's the Fisher Price Drop and Roar Dinosaur. It looks like sooo much fun! It was even voted Toy of the Year!

Clint obviously didn't get the message that anyone sitting on the couch was supposed to wear green! Even Robert followed cue and he's not even part of the family...YET!

Don't feel bad, Clint! Papa didn't get the message to wear Red either!

That was a LONG day!

Frosty The Snowman

Here is a picture of my new winter blanket Grammy made for me. She sure is good at sewing! Good thing, too, because mommy can't even sew on a button! The snowman theme is perfect because I can use it after Christmas, too!

Here Comes Santa Clause, Here Comes Santa Clause

Santa Clause came a little early this year at Mima and Papa's house. Daddy finally got our Learning Home and Baby Grand Piano put together. They have sooo many fun things to learn and play with. It will still be a while before we can really enjoy the home, but the piano is already a big hit!

"Knock, knock...who's there?"

It's mommy with that bright light she always flashes in my eyes!

Put away the pigskin...put away the bat and glove...we have a future Mozart on our hands!

I knew these long fingers would be good for something. (Besides making a terrific chew toy!)
