ready or not...

...its a new year!

gabes first christmas was...well.. like every other day of the year except with toys! of course he had no clue what was going on so he only had one present under our tree, but before you go thinking the poor kid got gypped, just know that both sets of grandparents took care of him and although he loves playing with all of his new toys he would be content to lay underneath the tree and stare at the lights for hours but i think that might be considered bad parenting if i left him there all day. (as you can tell by the quality of pictures, mom didn't get a new camera for christmas) :(

on new years eve we hosted our 4th annual new years eve bash, with bunco, prizes, wii dance party, food, friends and more food and as always it was a blast. the little guy rang in the new year with china, then turned in, while me and daddy-o rang in the new year in style!!!

2010- you've been good to us, you brought us the most perfectly round little chubbawabba of love and he makes us smile every day. you've brought us health & happiness and we are very grateful, however i think you accidentally dropped off some some extra weight that i'm sure was not meant for us. so i will try to return it as soon as i can. please take us off that particular mailing list, you seem to make the same mistake every year. thanks in advance.

Love the Echols. :)
