Gavin's Par-Tay and Christmas

Gavin turned two on December 20th. We had a party here at the house for him - Elmo style! This was the picture from his e-vite.
As always, this was an involved endeavor since we are lucky to have so much family to celebrate with but with major help from our T.D. family we were able to pull it all together. I guess the proof of a birthday party's success is in how the guest of honor enjoys himself! You be the judge...

Punch??? Approved...

Guest List?? Approved...

Cake??? Now, here's the big question. It was supposed to have the "Elmo's World" feel to it....yes, it was supposed to look a LITTLE messy! :)

Yeah, the cake was approved. In fact, he licked his plate SO clean that he was starting to dissolve the paper! :)

We can also look to cousin Trey for cake judging. After devouring his first piece of cake and I believe starting a second piece of cake, he snuck a third piece of cake and hid under the table to eat it (out of sight of his parents who told him no more cake). I thought this was so cute!

After a small breather, we then looked forward to Christmas! We have very few pictures to share with you because our camera was acting up. We spent more time with the video camera this holiday. We didn't even get a picture of the three of us together!

Here's our handsome little fella on Christmas Eve. He has taken to looking out from behind his glasses librarian style.

Christmas morning at Grandma and Grandpa Royer's house. Gavin went from lap...

...to lap. He loves his peeps!!!

Hope everyone had a fabulous Christmas - we sure did! We spent Christmas Eve and Christmas morning here in Hermiston. Then we made our way to The Dalles to spend a few hours, and a GREAT meal, at Mamaw and Pappy's house. Spending the holiday with family is the most important thing for us, so we consider our Christmas a success!
