It's A BOY!

We are so excited! Gavin Eugene Collett has finally arrived. He is a great baby. He weighed 9 lbs. 7 oz. and was 20 1/2 inches long. He looks exactly like Braiden, except he has an extra pound on him. Braiden loves Gavin, which we are thrilled about. It has been interesting having two kids at home, that is why I haven't posted any pictures yet. We are so excited and grateful that he is a happy and healthy little boy!

This is Gavin at the hospital in his outfit which we brought him home in.

My two little boys! I am the luckiest Mom!

What Braiden loves to do, give baby brother kisses.

The proud Dad! JT is a great husband and a wonderful Dad! He loves the boys so much.

Fun IN the SNow!

J.T. built a fabulous hill in our backyard for Braiden to slide down on his sled. It is great to have a backyard that we have room to play in. We love it! It was (is) an awesome hill. At first Braiden wasn't so sure about it. When Maddox and him went down the first time, their mouths were wide in shock. They got so they loved it. Maddox would lay down on Braid and then Braiden would put his hands and arms in the air and they would both scream with excitement. It was so much fun. Brooks, Analisha, J.T. and Dad all went down the hill as well. Mom didn't want to and due to my current circumstance, I didn't dare chance it. It was a fun afternoon.

Christmas Day!

Here are just a few pictures from Christmas Day. I am so late posting them, I decided not to post as many. We had a great day. We are so lucky to have so many family members so close, but it gets crazy on major holidays. Christmas is one of those crazy days. We had a great Christmas morning. Braiden loved his Thomas train and track. He was so fun this year. He loved opening presents for everyone. We then went to the Collett's. Trisha, Jake, Gus and Ben were down from Idaho. It was great to visit with them and Jim and Carol. Mike and Alex also came while we were there. Not for long though, it was time for our next stop. We then hit Grandma and Grandpa Roach's, Grandma and Grandpa Peterson's and then Grandma and Grandpa Allan's. That evening we went to Mom and Dads house to finish our night. It was crazy but wonderful. We got to see all of our family. How blessed we are. Christmas wouldn't be to same without family. I love it!!

Braiden playing with his new Thomas train. He loves trains. It is so much fun to watch him play!

New PJ's

Every year on Christmas Eve we would get to open one present and that would be new pajama's. We have decided to carry on that tradition in our family. Here is Braiden in his new outfit.

Peterson Christmas Party and Christmas Eve

Here is Braiden opening a present at Grandma and Grandpa Peterson's house. We always have a family Christmas party and enjoy a yummy dinner. Grandma then pulls out Christmas BINGO and we all get a few presents when we win. We all had a great time and Braiden was so so excited when he got BINGO. He loved his presents from Grandma and Grandpa!

On Christmas Eve, we always go to Grandma and Grandpa Roach's house. We eat dinner, act out the nativity, exchange gifts and Grandpa reads us The Night Before Christmas. It is so much fun to get together as family to celebrate the holiday season. I love this tradition.

Ty and Eric opening presents.

Eric helping Braiden open his gifts. Braiden loves Kira and Eric. He always wants to be right by their sides:)

The Nativity Scene. Braiden was one of the wise men with Eric and Ty. He decided at this point to give us evil looks instead of smiles. How adorable is that.

My Handsome Boy!

Each year for Christmas, we get a new outfit to wear to church. This was Braiden's outfit this year. He looks so grown up. He tells us that is so handsome. I couldn't agree more!
