Xmas Trip to MD: Part One

The drive to MD was long. Exceptionally long. With all of the wet diapers, bottle warming, filling up, and screaming babies, we had to stop more than a few times. During one of our breaks, Gavin decided that he needed to drive for a bit.

We couldn't make it all the way this time around so we stayed overnight at a Red Roof Inn to pacify G & V and get some much needed rest.

The next morning, we went to breakfast with Wes' family.

Then it was off to my mom's house. Where we didn't take any pictures. Part two is on it's way...

Wipe Attack

They fight over the strangest things. And by "fight," we mean that Gavin attacks Vivian and whatever it is that she's playing with. This time, it just happened to be a pack of wipes inside a cloth bag.

Christmas Morning

This year, we decided to spend Christmas morning in Lafayette. We opened presents, played with them, and watched Guys and Dolls. Then, we were on the road to MD by 1pm (more on that adventure in a later post). Before we walked out the door, we attempted to get a family xmas picture...

Attempt #1: G & V weren't looking.

~~~~~

Attempt #2: G & V were looking at the dog.

~~~~~

Attempt #3: The dog was facing us instead of the camera.

So we said "screw the dog" and I think we got it on this last one. Or at least got close to "it".

All Day I Dream About...

Sweatsuits. Adidas sweatsuits to be exact.

They're Remote Control Freaks

V & G are both remote control freaks.

They are completely obsessed with them.

Fatties

Gavin & Vivian went to the doctor today and were weighed.

The results? Brace yourself:

Vivian weighs 19 lbs 7 ounces!

AND

Gavin weighs 19 lbs 12 ounces!

Yowza!

20lbs here we come!

Better Late Than Never

I completely forgot to write a post about Thanksgiving!

Well, here ya go...

For G & V's first Thanksgiving, Wes' Mom and brother made the 11 hour drive out to Lafayette from Maryland. During their trip, we had a lot of fun playing on the floor with the twins, going shopping on Black Friday, and watching movies when G & V were sleeping. On Thanksgiving day, the babes ate sweet potatoes for the first time (see episode 3 of Top Chef: Lafayette).

Gav & Daddy had fun hanging out on the couch together.

Vivian enjoyed reading a TON of books with Grandma.

They both LOVE books.

And Philip even let Gavin play with his iTouch for a little bit. Sike. But Gavin was highly fascinated by it.

Overall, it was a great few days with family. We're excited to see you all again in a few days for Christmas!
