December phone pics

Here are some more fun things we did in December, courtesy of my cell phone pictures!

One of our very favorite hamburger places, The Habit, opened up in Pasadena! Gavin loves the milkshakes!

We took a quick trip out to Las Vegas for a couple of days to see Josh, Hillary and JJ. We had a  lot of fun, although it was freezing cold!! I thought Vegas was always warm! Gavin was in absolute heaven with all of JJ's toys, especially his "Cars" toys. He would line them all up in a row like this. 

We had fun with some Christmas crafts and goodies.  I loved making this handprint Christmas tree with Gavin. He had fun at first, but got a little bored at the end. I think it turned out great!

I made these cute reindeer cookies for a Relief Society cookie exchange. They were fun, but probably not worth doing again. The pretzels melted and had to be kept in the fridge.

But Gavin enjoyed eating them. (and apparently his car did too)

Gavin met with some friends and decorated these cute sugar cone Christmas Trees.

I went ice skating downtown with the Young Women. (I didn't actually ice skate, but it was fun to see them!)

We got our early Christmas present from the Jarvises, a double jogging stroller!! Andrew was so excited and couldn't wait to try it out. We invited Betsy over for a little jog.

After the jog they went and watched the construction trucks at work. Unfortunately we have had constant construction on the street just outside our house for the last 6 months. The gas company, city, cable company and someone else have all been working on it. They tear it up, patch it up, then tear it up again. You would think that they would coordinate and do it all at once. Fortunately Gavin absolutely loves the "dump trucks" and wants to go see them every day.

We did a little Christmas shopping at Paseo one night and had a delicious dinner at Rubios. Gavin is a big fan of the black beans there. He wanted to make sure that he got every single one.

December was a good month!
