Gabe Gets His Groove On

There has been snow on the ground outside for more than a week now. We have gone sledding down our street and I will post some of those photos later.

But after a hard day of sledding today, we, as mommy said, 'got our groove on.' Daddy filmed it and now you can enjoy the show too!

Snow Day!

I woke up today and snow was falling around our house and in the yard. It was neat! Mommy said that at least 2 or 3 inches came down. We bundled up and went into the back yard to make snow angels and throw snow at the dogs and each other!

It was great but got really cold so we didn't stay out too long. Mommy made me hot chocolate, and then I had what daddy called a sugar high. Fun!

The weather lady says it will be below freezing for the next week. Wow, that could be great - all of us stuck in the house for a whole week. I am so exited about that, I mixed up my numbers when daddy had me count to ten:

December Is Fun!

This month has been a blast so far. Mommy and daddy bought what they are calling a 'baby backpack' and I ride on their backs in it. I guess I am very 'heaby' but I sure have fun looking around while they do all the work on our hikes.

On our last hike, we ended up at this cool waterfall. The spray from the water was freezing so we stayed away from that but we did take some neat pictures with my brothers.

I can't believe it has been a whole year since Santa made me cry. But this year I am not so scared. I actually really want to go see Santa! Mommy and daddy promise to take me to see him soon. I'll be sure to write about that.

We did go to a tree farm last weekend and while it was great to get our very own Christmas tree, they had tractors and dirtmovers there! I almost jumped our of my dipies I was so excited. Daddy sat me on the tractor and before long I felt like I could very easily drive it.

We also got to ride in a "Gator" that daddy drove, to get the tree we had chosen. That was almost as fun as the tractor but it wasn't as big, so not quite as fun.

When it got too cold, we went into the house with our friends who run the tree farm and had snacks.





I found their dog's kennel and thought it was really super fun when my brothers put me in there and locked the door. It was really cozy in there and I made them give me my blanket and a drink.

The day ended with a super colorful sky. It looked like a painting I might have made with my favorite teachers at school. I was really tired but man, what a great day! The next day we all decorated the tree and aside from being sick for a few days, everything has been hunky dory since then.
