Last week to celebrate Christmas Andy, Gabe and myself spent two gloriously lazy nights at the Holz Sr. residence. Thursday night we were able to exchange gifts and share a meal with the Higgins. Gabe loves feeling like one of the big boys running around with his cousins and staying up late.
Gabe still didn't really get the concept of gifts, and especially not Christmas, but at least he preferred gifts to boxes this year.

He received lots of his favorites, books!

We divided Christmas into a 3 day gift opening event, Thursday night, Christmas Eve and Christmas morning. It helped ensure that Gabe didn't become overwhelmed and actually had time to interact with each toy or book before we threw another package in front of him. And yes, that means Gabe had enough presents to divide among 3 days!
At this point, the forerunner for best gift: vacuum!
Gabe has been helping me out around the house with some light cleaning, today he thought he'd throw on my shoes for good measure. If you're going to act like momma ya better dress like her as well huh?!
Round Two: This weekend at the Roosmann abode.
Thanks for a great Christmas. We loved every minute of it. I think Gabe looks a lot like Levi in the last picture! By the way, can I hire the little guy to help me clean? Grandma Holz
