Decking the Halls

Last sunday The Cali- Gapps were in to celebrate Christmas and Popps 60th B-day. We had brunch with he family at my parents in the morn and after some of us went downtown to see the lights and windows at Macy's formery Marshall Fields and come by our house for pizza.









We stopped at the Daily center and posed for some pics by the tree.

Trimmin the Tree

This year Aim and I have a real tree. Our comprimise since she did not want to cut one down(which I thought would be fun)is I could pick it out. But her circumstance was that if I pick it we can only have white lights.... DEAL! We blasted some holiday music put on our Elf hats and trimmed our first Christmas tree as a married couple.


Here is an action shot of my little helper in the background... Whats up with her ear it looks a little outta place

The final accessory... The star on the top

What a beautiful result

After Elmhurst we took the trip out to the Timmons'to hang with the Gapastione side. A house filled with kids, dogs, and enough food to feed an army. These little cuties were at the door to greet us

Uncle Cook assumed the Thankgiving position and carved up the bird



Aim hung out with the kiddies and got a fair share of wrestling tips from Peyton who is scheduled to be in 3 tournaments coming up
