Christmas 2006

Merry Christmas, everyone! Here are some pictures from this morning!! Eli and Mason had fun opening their gifts. Actually, once Eli saw his roller coaster that his Mimi and Pappy got him he didn't really pay attention to anything else!! I have added a video of him riding it, so check it out!!

Getting some sleep for my big morning!

New Video!!

Check out the new video of Eli and his cousins playing Ring Around The Rosy at lunch last week. Instead of saying "Ashes, ashes, we all fall down" he just said his cousin Ashley's, name, who wasn't even there, over and over again! It was so funny!

Sleepover!!

My friend Jeanne's husband is also out of town for training, so we decided to have a sleepover! The boys loved it!! Although, we did have some minor altercations over toys!! We went to Fuddruckers for dinner and then Trevor and Eli took a bath together! That was so funny!! This morning we hung out and then went to the mall for a little while! Eli was sad when we came home and Trevor wasn't there. Jeanne and Trevor, thanks for coming over! We'll have to do it again sometime!!

Cuddled Up Mason!

I woke up this morning and found Mason all cuddled up with her blanket. I am always amazed at how she gets that thing wrapped around her so well!!

My New CARS Pajamas!

John is in Chicago for training until the 14th and Eli wanted to show Daddy his new CARS pajamas. So, I took some pictures of him to put on the blog. Mason wanted to join in, too! I love the last picture where Eli is giving Mason a big hug!!

Mommy's Yucky Lip

Okay, I know this is gross, but I thought some might like to see what it looks like when a mommy's lip collides with a jumping toddler's head. Eli was jumping around last night at Care Group while holding on to my hands and having a good time. He stopped and I bent down for some reason, not really sure why, and he jumped up right as I bent down. Needless to say, my teeth dug into my lip and this is what it looks like today. Pretty yucky, huh? Oh, and it is really annoying!! Just thought I'd share!

Videos

Hi everyone! I have added two more videos. Check them out if you get a chance. I'm not sure why the sound is a little behind but the videos are still cute! Enjoy!

Thanksgiving with the Girberts

This past Saturday we had Thanksgiving with John's family and on Sunday we got together for leftovers after church. Here are some fun family photos we were lucky to get!! Lucky, meaning, getting Eli to sit still for more than two seconds!!

Pappy, Mimi, Ashley, Eli, Megan & Gabby (the puppy)!

Funny, Funny! Ha, Ha!!

This was just too funny! Somehow, this big red ball ended up in Eli's crib when he went to bed (Daddy put him to bed). I just had to take a picture of how it ended up!!

Family Dinner-November 12th

We had family dinner out at my parent's house last weekend and the kiddies sure did have a good time. Eli enjoyed being able to do things that he doesn't get to do at home like...

Play in a huge pile of leaves with his cousins!

Eat Reddi Whip straight from the can!

Play Poppy's guitar!!

Mall-O-Ween

Eli went Trick-or-Treating at the mall on Halloween. Once he finally understood what was happening he wanted to open all of the candy immediately.

Eli's Birthday Party-October 26th

We celebrated Eli's birthday on his actual birthday at Events At Sherlake! If you haven't been there you have got to go! The kids love it, and so do the parents! It is basically an inflatable party zone with big slides, an obstacle course and jumping house!! I think Eli really enjoyed his party!!


Eli and Poppy!

Going down the slides!!

All the kiddies!

Cake time!

Gift time!

Eli was so worn out by the end of his party that he was laying on the floor playing with his new tractor! Thanks to everyone who came and for his gifts! He loves them all! Also, thanks to Poppy and Grame for the wonderful party and to Aunt Carrie for being our photographer!!
