Christmas season has started....

And we've already had our first family Christmas get-together!  We had the big Taylor family Christmas this past Saturday because Uncle Richard was in town from Texas to hunt.  It was quite the spectacle with all of the babies and toddlers running around this year, but it was pretty fun.  I think they all had a good time playing together and opening up gifts. 

I had fun being able to take some pictures of other kids (rather than just my G baby) for once.  This is one is of second cousin Caleb and the next is his sister Gracie and Uncle Rich.

It's Gabi's second Christmas....but the first one being mobile and interested in the Christmas tree....

Gabi had tons of fun walking all over and picking up little pieces of wrapping paper.

Oh, Uncle Rich....

Our handsome nephew Landyn

 I love the pouty look on Gabrielle's face here :)

Nick's present - an MSU flag

All of the great grand kids this year............

And this was the same group last year.  You can tell how much different a year makes.  Landyn, Gabrielle, and Caleb were all born within three weeks of each other!

I have definitely not been a good blogger lately, but it just seems like I can't stay on top of things.  Nick has been very busy with hunting and has left me to be a single part-time working mom (I know it's coming every year but it doesn't get any easier).  Here are a few picture from our nephew Landyn's 1st birthday party which was on 11/7/10....or more famously known as five days before Gabrielle's.

He got his first black eye the day before his party :(

Gabi could only hold out for so long before digging into to Landyn's riches

We thought it would be cute to put them both on Landyn's new scooter...they weren't that thrilled

Gabi would much rather push Landyn around while he sat on it

We were able to go visit my parents after Landyn's party, and brother came down that evening too.   

And here are just a couple of more recent randoms.....Gabi totally loved her ball pit that we got for her birthday!

And here is a silly picture that makes me smile.  For whatever reason, Gabrielle loves to walk under our kitchen table.  Weirdo :)

I promise I will be back soon and it won't be such a random jumble of randomness :)
