He's 2!

G Little's actual birthday was a small celebration just us! He was a little fire bug and enjoyed blowing out his candle, eating cupcakes at school and home, and unwrapping the first gift of the season.





Two years have flow by quickly, but little man you have stolen our hearts! On to another year of adventure...

The Big Birthday Bash...

G Little starting coughing early in the week so this Momma thought we would fight early and start his low dose breathing treatments...boy I was I wrong. They were like a squirt gun on a house fire. He woke up early Thursday morning...a very sick little boy so off to visit our favorite pediatrician and the bad news that little man had croup. Loads of steroids and strict instructions on breathing treatments....we left the office with a very upset little boy. And a canceled birthday party. No worries, we will be playing those reindeer games next year!


So instead we spent that Saturday in our pajamas having a G Little Day! The morning started with snowman pancakes...yup the chocolate chips were definitely eaten...pancakes not so much!

Then painting some Christmas crafts.....

And he started feeling a little more like himself...a bath, a fresh set of jammies and a glass of your favorite beverage...he's all smiles!


Getting those Decorations Up...

In early December, we hurriedly decorated the house expecting to have a big birthday bash...Gavin loved helping his daddy put up the lights. We got all the Christmas trees up and decorated with out any crazy incidents...actually he's barely paid them any attention this year. Quite the surprise for our active little guy...






My hubby loves me so much...that he hung colored lights on the house this year :)

Thanksgiving



I was horrible at taking pictures this Thanksgiving. I took none at my parents and just a few at Matt's. And this little guy above wouldn't stop for a minute so I could get a picture of his new longall. So I had to settle for some football helmet action. Papa Steele is collecting memorabilia for his man cave and his grandsons and great nephews love wearing these helmets around...G little is all about kicking the football right now and it was mighty comical with his helmet on!


Two Rounds of yummy food, loads of time with family, football games (some good, some definitely bad), the two best parts being with my boys and getting to reflect on all the amazing blessings God has given our little family! Oh and the answered prayer of NO repeat stomach bug this year! Praying for a healthier winter!
