Here are some pictures of what has been going on in our neck of the woods lately!
Gavin is loving having Uncle Travis around! He is his favorite pal. He gets excited to see him and always finds a way to get Uncle Travis to play with him! I am glad he is able to get to know him so well. In the picture on the left they are flipping coins so that they spin on the counter. Gavin could do this all day long and be entertained! Poor Travis! :)
At the beginning of December I was able to watch Spencer for Brian and Jaimee so that they could go to Salt Lake for a weekend get-away! It was fun to have this cute little ball of energy in our house for a few days! He is so cute and it was good to have someone Gavin's size around for him to play with.
On Friday we made a trip out to good old Portage for a family Christmas party with my Grandma Howell's family! It is so good to see everyone, especially since we don't see a lot of them very often. We played basketball, ate a yummy dinner, got a visit from Santa & exchanged gifts. Santa brought Gavin a back pack (I don't know why, but lately he has been obsessed with back packs! And he's 2! I think he's trying to grow up a little too fast.) Inside his back pack was a puzzle (another recent favorite) and one of those Crayola Color Wonder coloring books and markers. Those are fabulous! He has loved coloring with it and mom has loved not having to clean up any mess! What could be better?! 
And last but certainly not least, the recent snow fall! It has been so fun to see Gavin wake up in the mornings and get so excited to look out the window at all of the snow! He and Brent built a snowman with plungers for arms (as you can see below). Gavin has been so excited to build a snowman and he finally got to do it! And with his favorite person no less! Tonight Brent pulled him on a sled behind the four-wheeler and they had a ball. I even went out to take pictures and jumped on the sled to get in on a little of the action!
That's all for now. Happy Holidays everyone!

Fun times!!! I love that pic of spencer and gavin smiling up at you Spence has the biggest grin! Thanks again for watching him I know those two together are quite a handful-your the aunt of the year! Gavin looks way excited out in that snow..definetly a boy!!
Hmmm....that santa looks familiar....Brentley?? Hee hee, I kid, I kid. Gavin looks so cute with the backpack on. That is super scary to see him grow up so fast!
Looks like fun! I love this time of year! I can't wait to come to Utah and see my family and friends, YEAH! :) Tell uncle Travis hi for me! We always had so much fun with Travis whenever we went over to your Grandma's house.
The snow looks beautiful but oh so COLD! We have gotten used to wearing short sleave shirts again. We have been enjoying 70-80% weather. It has been FABULOUS! I know some would say that it wouldn't feel like Christmas, but I beg to differ. When you come in and see the beautiful chrismas tree all a glow. Then bring out the hot chocolate and watch old classic movies like...It's A Wonderful Life, The Grinch Who Stole Christmas, and all the favorites Ruldolph, Santa Claus Is Coming To Town and Frosty The Snowmen.
Hope we can get together when I come to town for the holidays.
Gavins pic's are darling!!! Hope you have a great Christams!!!
That snowman is AWESOME! Aww, he's so adorable.. Gavin, that is. Though the snowman has a certain allure...
