The Blur of December

So when you bring a baby home on Dec. 2 and you didn't get quite as much done as you thought you were going to before Christmas, the result is that the entire month of December is a blur. I know it was cold and we barely left the house. Our car got rear-ended during the first major snow of the season.  I remember going to a few recitals, parties, and some last minute grab-as-much-as-you-can-in-thirty-minutes runs to Walmart. Other than that, Gavin's first month went by ridiculously fast. Here are some pictures of his first days in the Mitchell home.

He pretty much slept 22 hours a day

The one and only time I let them outside to play

First bath

When he was awake, he was pretty happy

But we all have our moments

Pondering life's deep meaning

Yellow skin and blue eyes, what a combo

Thrilled with their sibling clothes

 (Thanks Grandma and Grandpa)

Brooklyn's Pre-K concert

Cold, but still cute!

Brooklyn singing Christmas carols in church

Ethan pretending to know the words

Who knew Santa visits churches? 

We found ours on-line and he looked pretty legit
