Advent Calendar Countdown: Dec 9th

What an exciting day!!! Today was our Holiday Gift Exchange playgroup .... a few months back we all drew names and bought a gift for one child (instead of buying for 6 of them!). The moms also baked sweet treats for a dessert swap. I have a ton of great pics from the playgroup, so I'll put those in a separate post. After playgroup Easton crashed and took a 2 1/2 nap (yay for time to get stuff done!!!) After his nap we headed out to run a few errands - Easton was all bundled up and looking cute as ever. He got several compliments and was his usual charming self. This was great since the past few days he's been a bit irritable. I think we're back on track .... it was a good day!

Below, Easton is wearing the socks from Day 5 and the shirt from Day 8 while holding his gift for today, December 9th. It's hard to tell what today's gift is from the photos .... he received a sweater outfit from Baby Gap - I had been "stalking" this outfit just waiting for it to hit the clearance rack. You know me and a bargain! :-) I'll be sure to post a pic of him actually wearing it so you can get a better idea of what it looks like. Now - onto the pics!

" Look what I got, Mama!"

"I love my new sweater outfit!"

There's that devilish face again .... it's always making an appearance!

Happy, smiling boy!

Playing w/ his new toy (thanks again, Grace & Ruthie...he loves it!) :-)
