An early Christmas!

This year we have been so grateful to have all of the Von Gunten/Seyberts together for a portion of the holiday season. Twas not supposed to work out this year, but it did and we had a great time together. Because I came down early with the boys, Kevin then decided to come early and we were able to spend time with Trent, Heather, Caroline, Tye, Kelly and Abby. It has been wonderful.

On Monday, we did a Christmas exchange with the children at Uncle Tye and Aunt Kelly's home. The kids had a great time exploring a new home and checking out all of cousin Abby's toys. Here are some photos from the night.

Christmas cookies....some faithful friends

We decorated some gingerbread cookies. William loved every minute of it. Well, he loved eating all the gum drops while Mommy decorated the cookies. Here is our finished product....will all their clothes on. They are now just cookies with missing gum drops. I think a little one found them and decided to have a snack.

Sweet, sweet faces

We have taken so sweet pictures of my boys over the past few days. Enjoy looking at these faces. Hope they warm your heart and make you smile.

Me and my little, little guy as he awoke crying. All he needs is some comforting from Mommy.

And some kisses.

William smiling for the camera....a rarity in our house.

This is the usual face that I get when I want to take a picture.

Paulie so proud of himself playing with his push cart.

You can see how proud he is that he can sit on it.

We went to Costco and brought this box home. This has become the favorite toy. It is a fort, a race car and a train.

William has learned many "cool tricks" while visiting Gaga and Papa's house. Things like running in crazy circles, jumping off the bed onto the floor while kicking his feet out, and of course, the funny face. The greatest trick he has learned, which he wants to do all the time, is take pictures. Here are some of William's shots. He took all of these photos himself...focusing them in the camera display and then taking the picture. Some are really good....I think I might have an artist on my hands.

The girls.

Mommy....notice my head....but at least he did get my face.

Loved this shot of his hand.

Aunt Sara's boom...as we call it in the house.

The wee marbles. Another artistic shot.

Boys, boys and more boys

Since I am in the land of DSL......hooray......I have decided to upload some pictures of my loves. It is wonderful to have a fast computer connection. I am grateful for the satellite, but it just does not do compare to DSL! Enjoy the pics while you can....until I enter the land of slow computer connections. Oh, some of the pics are dupliacted because I forgot I had already uploaded them.

Cool tricks #2

Paulie continues to perfect his climbing and scaling abilities. The location may have changed....everything else remains the same. Oh, to be a baby! He is so proud of himself....it is just too darn cute.

I just love this pictures. His little legs are jus the cutest thing. You can see the sweet smile on his face. He is just the most precious little boy....other than my William.
