Ending the Year in Style

Aunt Chelle was here for Christmas and as usual couldn't stand to pay any attention to anyone other than Gavin for more than a minute or two. A few days after Christmas, Aunt Steph and Uncle Brent and Tammy came by for a visit and again, Gavin was showered with attention the entire time.


Then, on Steve's birthday, we decided to take Gavin for his first ride in the bike trailor that Grandma and Grandpa Tarner gave us for Christmas. He absolutely loved the ride and was so adorable just sitting in that thing looking around.





















Happy 38th, Daddy!

Gavin's First Christmas






The last month has been a great one, considering the loss of Grammy last month. We definitely had our share of bittersweet moments, but all in all, we had a wonderful Christmas with Gavin. One night early in the month we took him to see Santa at the museum in Bakersfield. He was a great sport despite the freezing temperatures outside and the fact that we had to squeeze his over sized baby head into a little tiny Santa hat for the occasion. Then, if that wasn't enough, a couple weeks later Mom and I brought him to the mall to take a picture with the Santa there (who was quite trailer trash looking if i do say so myself) and yet again I felt it necessary to play dress up with my little "doll" as so many people like to call him. The pictures of him in his reindeer getup were taken at brunch after that Santa photo session. Damn, he's sure a cute kid, isn't he?
The black and white picture was just some moment when I couldn't resist taking yet another shot. The had didn't last too long. It's probably the only one in existence that is too LARGE for his fat head!
We hope you all had a wonderful Christmas. Especially to the family we missed being around, know that we love you and missed you immensely!
