Christmas at the Muldoon’s

I have to say that this year was my FAVORITE CHRISTMAS so far!! Being a new mommy brings all the magic and wonder of the holidays to LIFE.  Even though Gabriel is too young to understand Santa Claus or any of that, he definitely knows that the family is here and there are so many fun things going on.  This is Gabriel’s signature “kissy face.”  He is such an affectionate little man.  Twas the night before Christmas:

Gabriel especially loves anything snuggly and fuzzy.  He walks around squeezing these teddy bears.  What a lovable baby.

Then, Gabriel got to wear his new Reindeer tie to go visit his grandparents.  Does he not look GQ?

Last minute gift wrapping:

After visiting the Grandparents, (I totally forgot to bring my camera :()  We do Santa’s job for the first time.  That’s Conor assembling Gabriel’s new slide.  It has a basketball hoop with football and soccer made especially for little hands.

And I worked on Ginger Bread Teddy Bears for Santa.  Don’t laugh at my decorating skills.  ;0

Christmas Morning.  Gabe sees the Sports Climber Slide thingy for the first time.  He was enjoying morning milk but, he didn’t let that go for a second.

Luna thought that she got a new train for Christmas.

Gabriel impressed us all by making a basket and then immediately moving the counter to 2 points.  How did  he know to do that?  Do we have a budding basketball star in our home?

He also got a new Tonka Truck from  Maw Maw.

And a new cell phone from Grandaddy and Mary Ann.

A new reindeer blanket from Rudolph.  (I don’t remember Rudolph ever giving ME anything as a kid but, I guess my baby is pretty special.)

What a great Christmas!! Gabriel hasn’t stopped playing since.  Thank you Santa and Rudolph and Daddy and Grandaddy and Mi Mi and Maw Maw and Grancy and Grim.  This little boy is in Christmas heaven!
