Gabriel's first Christmas eve!

It is so amazing to think that last year we were so excited about the upcoming birth of our first grand baby. This little man has added so much to our lives this past year and we are so blessed to have him. He is a little charmer and steals your heart with his sweet smile and happy personality. I am always amazed at how quickly they learn, how fast they grow up and how easy it is to give your heart to a child! I love that he loves me so much, because the feeling is definitely mutual. I heard the saying, "A grandchild fills a space in your heart that you never knew was empty." It is true! There is always room in your heart to love another... and a grand baby is just a wonderful extension of the love you feel for your children. This little man is full of charm, full of personality and has brought so much to our family. I love his smiles, his hugs and his kisses. I love that he blows me kisses and how his eyes light up when he sees me and I love that we get to share his very first Christmas with him! He is wonderful... and I can't wait to see all of the changes he will go through in the coming year! Love you Gabriel, thank you for choosing our family to come to and thank you for being so wonderful!!!

He is blowing a kiss to grandma!!! Such a sweet face... he has the most expressive faces and loves to make others laugh!

Talking to uncle Nate about Christmas and what Santa will be leaving under the tree....

His daddy's little mini-me... growing up so fast and such a joy to our entire family! Merry Christmas little man... may the wonders of the season bring you happiness and joy!!!
