Gabrielle got a veterinarian dress up outfit, which is a big hit so far. If around during this play time be sure to watch out for random "shots" from her and be prepared to have her listen to your heart. Some of her other favorite gifts include Ariel and Eric wedding boat from Auntie Molly and Uncle Danny, wooden play food from Baba and Nene, Snow White the movie from Aunt Robyn and the doll from Aunt Michelle. New jewels and musical princess jewelry box were the excitement of the day when we let her open it early from the Ross cousins. The clothes she got from all her Aunties are a huge hit, she has been changing her clothes during the day and even in the middle of the night into new jammies just because!
Elliot had a fever during the night of Christmas Eve, so he was not as happy as usual in the morning. He was more interested in trying to eat the wrapping paper and less into the actual presents... the blocks will probably be good for chewing on- he is quite the chomper. Working on tooth #5 at the moment, and I have the bite marks to prove it (yes, my nail is dented with teeth marks from trying to use the finger brush on him last night!).
We couldn't decide what to have for Christmas Eve dinner, being just the 4 of us and not wanting to do anything to fancy or time consuming my sis suggested pizza. It was a fantastic idea, and we all got our favorite toppings; Clay had ham and pineapple, plus a little red onion. Gabby had pepperoni with LOTS of olives and I made a "white" pizza with artichoke hearts, mushrooms, yellow pepper, olives and a sprinkling of onion.
Gabby loved putting it all together herself!
Hope everyone had a wonderful holiday! I didn't get as many good pictures or videos as I hoped. I will try to get a video of Elliot taking STEPS! Yes on the 22nd he took 4 steps by himself and ever since then takes 1-3 every now and then! I am trying to recover from the stomach bug and body ache that hit the other night.... lets hope no one else gets it!
