So this was Gabrielle exactly one year ago. I am going to post a video of Gabrielle today to... wish me luck, in the meantime marvel at how much she has grown!!

We Visit Santa!

Ok so after a month or so of talking about him, we took Gabrielle to go and see Santa. She was star struck! She couldn't believe he was right there in front of her. She asked him for Diego toys and for "Sixty Dollars" That's right folks, she asked the big guy for some cold hard cash! Andrea and I lost it!!! It was really funny... it turns out she wanted the money for the Dinsey Princess cash register and on a commercial the little girls are playing pretend and one of them charges sixty dollars for a necklace... so needless to say Santa got an earful!

It was a lot of fun... After Andrea and I headed right over to the Disney store and bought the cash register... it turns out it was on sale for only $23.00. With a santa visit memory like that, how could we not get it for her!!!

Getting Ready For Christmas
We are very excited! Gabrielle helped decorate the Christmas tree this year! She talks about Santa and I think is starting to understand the whole idea... I am so proud of what a sweet little lady she is turning into.

The Tinker Bell ornaments are her favorite!

Thanksgiving Fun!
Gabrielle and Karina open Thanksgiving goodies from Mee-Ma & Pop-Pop.

What is Thanksgiving with out some fun Fall leaves!!
