Our weekend

It has been a little while since I posted, so I decided to do a weekend update. We had a pretty fun weekend. Friday night we went to "nickle, nickle" arcade and had a lot of fun. I don't know who had more fun... Clay or Gavin! Saturday afternoon we cleaned, exercised and then headed to The Grove in LA. They have such cute decorations, a water show, people performing Christmas songs, Santa Claus and it even snows! Sunday was a mellow day spent doing a puzzle, making our annual Gingerbread house and baking cookies. We had a lot of fun spending time together.

Gav and his Baby Sis

Gavin & Peyton's first photo shoot

So again our awesome neighbors took some great photos for us. They did such a good job it was hard for me to pick which ones to use for the announcement!

One AWESOME big brother!

Those of you that know Gavin, know how EXCITED he was about having a little sister! I was afraid once she got here he wouldn't be as excited, but he has proved me wrong! He is so amazing with her! He always wants to be in pictures with her, she is always the first one he greets when he gets home, he CAN'T kiss and hug her enough, he wants her to come to his school, to sit in the bathroom while he takes a bath, he says he can't wait to babysit her. The other night she was sleeping in our bed and Gavin went and got his blanket and laid next to her for 45 min, just staring at her. I asked him to do something and his first words were, "what if something happens to her?"

Here are a couple of my other favorite things Gav does with his sis:

-Always calls her, "baby sis"
-When I pick him up from school he takes the stroller and pushes all the way home
-Tells all his friends at school to come meet his baby sis
-loves to hold her
-Endless hugs and kisses
-Always tells her how cute she looks
-Always acknowledges her bows and bracelets

Gavin, Peyton couldn't be luckier, you are the best big brother ever! Love you!

So my super cool neighbors took these pregnancy pictures of me and I am so grateful. I hardly had any pictures while I was pregnant with Gavin, so I am glad we are documenting this one! This first shot is one of my favorites! I love the fence behind us. Thanks Matt & Christi!
