Parker's First Skate

We finally made it to open skating as a family today. We've been trying to get the kids there for several weeks but the only time the ice is open is during our normal nap time. Chloe wanted to get some extra ice time and Parker has been so excited to get out on the ice. We all had fun and got in a little exercise!

A friend of Ray's gave Parker this hockey helmet and he absolutely loves it. He wears it around the house and hits whatever he can find on the floor with his hockey stick.

Storytime

Ray is reading books to the kids in our room. They look so sweet cuddled up in our bed!

Happy New Year!

Well, it's back to the real world tomorrow. The kids have not been to daycare since 12/23 so Ray and I both have had a lot of time off to spend with them over the holidays. It has been great. We've also gotten to spend a lot of time with Ray's parents, Grandma Fryer (who was stuck in town for over a week because of the snow!), aunts, uncles, cousins and more. We are very blessed to have such a vibrant, happy, healthy family.

I sincerely hope that you and your family have had a wonderful holiday and all of us at the Gibson house wish you many blessings in the new year!

Snuggly Nightgown

Chloe got this warm and very snuggly nightgown from Uncle Tim and Auntie Erin.

Moose

Aunt Lori, Uncle Brad and Courtney & Caitlin sent this adorable moose along with the book If You Give a Moose a Muffin. Parker loves it! He carried it around most of the night and he's snuggled up with it for nap as I type.

He also enjoyed being carried around by Grandpa!
