10-Day Christmas Tour

The Gillards have been quite busy the last 2 weeks - as Christmas is a very busy time of the year for us (and of course for everyone else too). This is our 3rd year of the 10-day Christmas Tour - where we head to both families in Illinois (Cross/Kastner side: Stacy's family) and then up to Michigan (Gillard/Shoemaker side: Scott's family). I felt like I had to start out our tour with a photo of Gavin opening presents (let's just say he did this quite often - everyone is just so giving.... and he is stocked up with toys for quite some time now). We didn't know if he would really get into the whole "opening gifts" process.... but he sure did. From ripping the paper to pulling out tissue paper - he just wanted to keep doing this vs. playing with his toys... that was pretty funny. We hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas as we sure did - and lots to update over the past 2 weeks.... enjoy!
