Disneyland

On the 26th we headed to Disneyland! We had so much fun.  Graham did awesome! He loved the rides we went on, which included Dumbo,  the carousel, small world, casey's train and the storybook boat. It was so fun watching him look around and be so excited and happy.  Loved it.  Most of the really cute pictures are on Josh's phone so I'll have to add those later. Fun day.

Christmas Eve

A tradition of the Gillette family is to walk around the LA temple on Christmas Eve then have treats and hot chocolate.  I love it.  The temple is so pretty.  

Christmas Morning

I just can't stop taking pictures.  It's so fun to get the camera out and capture Graham's little smiles and laughs.  These aren't perfect but they help to capture Graham's first Christmas.  It was so fun watching him get excited about each toy.  I've never seen him crawl so fast to get a new toy! It was so fun. 

Manhattan Beach love

I miss living near the beach.  It is absolutely beautiful.  Although I am glad that Graham does not get the opportunity to eat sand everyday, because apparently he thinks it is worth more than one handful...

I love that Katelyn enjoys Graham.  She loves when he is in the same room and she is so cute with him! She is always making sure he is okay.  So cute! I hope they can always be good friends.

 Love them.

9 months

I love my fun size baby boy.  He is army crawling, kind of.  He has his own way of getting where he wants to go.  Despite his size he is a great eater. The dr said he probably won't be getting teeth for awhile.  Love him.

Thanksgiving and swings

We feel so blessed to be living in Denver.  We love living near grandma and grandpa Mickelsen and Lane and Jerry.  We are grateful that we could spend Thanksgiving with them again this year.  It was wonderful.  Graham loved the sweet potatoes and pumpkin pie.  The food was all amazing.

 On a nice sunny day Graham and I walked a couple blocks to the park.  He got to swing for the first time and he enjoyed it.  We also found out that he likes the stroller much better if he can listen to some music. Thank goodness our stroller has a speaker for him.  And don't worry, not all his pants are this short.  It's hard to dress him since the pants that fit his waist are short and the ones that fit in length fall right off.  At least he is cute no matter what his pants look like.
