Advent Calendars - I made the box one for Gabe (from a kit). It has 25 drawers and we've put in $1, m&ms, Hershey kisses and more - to help him count til Christmas. The tree and calendar are my mom's. She let me have it last year. I just love it! She hand made everything! This was one of my very favorite things to do each year as a child and I'm so lucky that she gave it to me to share with Gabe - thanks Mom!!

Raking leaves - Just a day out raking leaves. Funny that we don't have trees but always have a ton of leaves!!

Halloween 2008

Boy am I behind!! Here are pics of Halloween - Gabriel was a police man. And the coolest thing happened while we were trick-or-treating. We saw a police car driving by, so Gabe waved. The police man, yelled that he loved his costume. Gabe was very proud. Then the police man pulled over and got out to talk to him. Gabe asked if he could drive his car and the officer said yes and even let him turn the lights on! Gabe was absolutely thrilled!http://picasaweb.google.com/gabesmom1003/HalloweenOct08#

Thanksgiving 2008

This is a funny video of Gabriel singing the "Family Song" from a show called "Yo Gabba Gabba". He just spontaneously starting singing it at the dinner table.



Check out the rest of our photos from the day here:
