Lasalette Shrine

There is a beautiful seminary in Attleboro Ma that is run by missionaries. At Christmas time, every year, they decorate the grounds with over 300,000 lights...it's beautiful! We took a little family outing last weekend, it was great watching Gabriel's reaction to all the lights.

Merry Christmas

What a wonderful Christmas morning! Gabriel got far to many things (we all did really) but it was so much fun watching him open all his presents. He got so excited about every one of them. But the best gift of all was having our new little bundle here with us and of course having our growing family all together.

Dinner with the whole family at my cousins house...about 30 people, it was nice having everyone together.


And this picture of Gabriel says it all...Merry Christmas Everyone!

Christmas Eve

Christmas Eve was fun...not only did we pass out presents with my sister and brother and their families, but we also played pass the baby! Everyone had to take a turn holding Isaac and he didn't mind at all.

Merry Christmas

MERRY CHRISTMAS!

I wish you all a very merry Christmas....enjoy your families and friends and I look forward to seeing all the great pictures.

Nana's Helper

These will be the best cookies ever! He is just the cutest little guy :-)

Here Comes Santa Clause!

I got an early Christmas gift from Joe and Michael......isn't he great! I collect Santa's and this is a beautiful addition to my collection. Thanks guys, your the best!!!

Bearss Family

Clints mom, dad, and grandmother drove up from Florida to see Isaac. We had them here for dinner and had a very nice time catching up since we haven't seen them since Rayna and Clint's wedding.

Little Peanut

Some new pictures of Isaac....he seems to change everyday. He's such a good little boy and he loves to be held, just like his mom did, and we all wait patiently for our turn to hold him. Do you think auntie 'Manda is getting any ideas :-)

Early Christmas

Joe and Michael gave Gabriel the perfect gift....a giant truck!!! He loves trucks. I think they enjoyed giving it to him as much as he loved receiving it :-) They're such great "uncles". Thanks uncle Joey and uncle Michael!

Road Trip

I packed everyone up and took a little day trip to CT to see my aunt. I remember when Rayna and Amanda were my grandsons ages - maybe a little younger, they were 15 mos. apart - I did most things by myself because Paul was working so much....long story short, it took 3 of us to handle that trip!!!

The Perfect Tree

Good thing we had our little buddy with us to help pick out the perfect tree. He thought they were all sooooo big!

First Snow

It took a little getting use to but Gabriel finally enjoyed being out in the snow, I can't say the same about that snow suit he's wearing.....he hates that!!

Gabriel loves his visits with Isaac and finally doesn't cry when he leaves.

Time To Catch Up

Amanda and Gabriel are back!!! They got here on Nov. 17th and we decided to keep it a secret so everyone would be surprised on Thanksgiving. Chris wasn't able to come with them this time. He's in school and couldn't get leave. He'll find out in a couple of weeks if he can take some time and then we'll get him up here for a late Christmas. It's been crazy around here (yes, even more so than usual). Rayna and Clint are settling in to being new parents (everyone knows how that is) and they are doing a great job. Precious little Isaac is a very good baby which helps alot. Gabriel just loves his little cousin and wants to be as close as possible to him when ever he's around. I'm so happy and thankful to have that little bundle so close to me and to have two beautiful grandsons for Nana and Papa to spoil. This is going to be a wonderful Christmas!

Thanks Giving

I hope everyone had a nice Thanksgiving. It was great having Amanda and Gabriel home and everyone was so surprised to see them.
