Christmas at the Gill's...

We've continued our tour of NB and are back in SJ for a few days. We've had such a great time visiting our family and friends. I half feel like I should update this blog once we're back in California, but it's nagging at me to do it now :)

Sam loves my Dad's cats...especially Angel, the gentle giant...


Here's a pic of me at 9 months...look familar?


Lucky for me, Sam loved hanging out in front of the tree...


Someone went against our wishes and bought a big, bulky toy for Sam (ok, I admit it, it was us!)


Brendan really liked "sharing" Sam's toys...


Sam's 'new thing' is to put stuff on his head...


Just a smilie Sam...


My sister, Shelley, came for a visit on Christmas day...here she is reading a story to Brendan...


Here's Shelley, Jim, Alyssa and Justin...


Michelle and I took the boys for a run outside...



Grampy even pulled Sam around the house in the sleigh...


Michelle and Brendan...I'm not sure who was more excited today!


Brendan helped Sam open then appreciate some of his gifts...


Adam and Dadda taking a reading break...


Here's our clan...


John (aka, Adam's bestman) and Ellen came to seek Adam's advice about wedding planning...


Grampy and Brendan reading a book...


This was as close as the boys would get for the first time...


These were from Quispam earlier today...
Sam and Grampy having a discussion...


This was Christmas Eve I think...


You can't see this in SoCal!
