Train Ride

Is there anything better than a train ride, really? We went to Coconut Pointe Mall and Gavin rode the train around the parking lot. He was a big fan! Side note on the shirt he is wearing.....he told us it was his favorite shirt because it had his name on it, so we called him Ron Jon the rest of the day!

The Fish

Gavin loved the pool and was able to motor around on his own this year. We went swimming almost everyday.

Timeout for a pic with baby sister. She loves the pool as much as he does.

Closing the suitcase

They were both very "helpful" while I attempted to pack.

Birthday party at the museum in Normal

Taking his baby sister for a drive in the pizza delivery truck

loves the paint wall!

Swim Lessons with Kenny

Gavin and his little friend Allie waiting for their turn. He kept scooting closer to her. :)

This is the first time Gavin took lessons without one of us in the water with him. He really loves his lessons with Kenny!

When we get really bored....

We go swimming in our giant tub! Summer is almost here, right!?

All Star Sports Class

Gavin took a 5 week sports class. He learned about baseball, basketball, football, soccer and hockey. He had a blast, but when it was all said and done he still likes soccer the best. Oh well, at least we know! That is him in the yellow shirt above, stretching.

Soccer

Thank goodness for the indoor soccer field in Morton. It has made this horrible long winter much more bearable. Bonus: Gavin is getting pretty good at soccer. :)

Fun in the snow

Henry

He slept with his favorite train, Henry.

Thomas the Train

Gavin with his new train table and Thomas stuff.

Anxious for Santa

Gavin did not want to go to bed after all of the christmas eve excitement.

Cousins

We had 11 kids here on christmas eve. Chaos! And we were even missing a few!

Peanuts!

Gavin had so much fun playing with this box full of peanuts. He told me that I couldn't help him clean up because I needed a special tool to do the job.

The Cousins

Mia, Gavin, Libby, Alayna

The Boy Fairy

Gavin's cousins turned him into a "boy fairy". He is not going to be happy about this when he grows up!

Train

The best part of the christmas season....riding the train at the mall. Although you would never know just how exciting by the look on his face.
