San Francisco for Erika's birthday!

Last weekend, Gav, Grandma JoJo and I went to San Francisco and met up with Kendra to celebrate Erika's birthday.... Definitely an adventure!

Gav and Grandma JoJo showing each other their teeth at the airport...

waiting for take-off!

"tickling" Aunt Erika....

good times at the park!

sleepy guy after an action-packed day!

beautiful crazy weather at Crissy Field the next morning....

hanging with Aunt Kenchie at the playground!

Saturday night at dinner...
the new fav thing to do is playing with the sugar packets..... everywhere!

down at the wharf...
Gav thought it was so fun to make me wear his
creepy-crawly creature that Grandma bought him...

ahhhh the girls!

Happy Birthday AE!!!

While Gav was napping, I went for a run and ran past a fire station... they were outside washing their truck and told me that I could bring Gav back for a visit when he woke up!

Needless to say, I think that this was the highlight of his trip...
The firemen were sooooo nice!
They let him crawl all through the truck and everything.
He was in heaven!


We thought that seeing the truck up close was cool!
But touching it was the best!

Our last night there... quality Steamroller time!

I love this picture... makes me smile.

Roxi is a German Shepherd puppy... 
Gav had sooo much fun meeting her!




quality time with the boys...
Gav is always sharing the dog beds with the doggies...

hello Mr. 20-Months!
Pinkeye! Day 1.... no fun!
Pinkeye: Day 2:
A little bit challenging. Definitely feeling better, but still contagious.
Since it was a rainy day, (huh?) we figured out some other stuff to do.
a little bit of finger-painting, some dancing and alot of blanket forts!

Let the holidays begin!

At Irvine Park with Grandma Mary and Grandpa Marvin
about to take the Christmas train to see Santa!

Oh, the anticipation!!!

Gav was soooooooo excited to see Santa 
that he could barely even stay in line...
Well, that was until they got up close and personal!!!


...a few minutes and a candy cane later,
all is good again....

He still loves Santa, but from a distance.
