Merry, Merry, Happy, Happy!!!

It's been a very exciting past few weeks. The holidays zoomed right on by but not without some fun partying and family time celebrations. We kicked off the festivities with the annual Novoa holiday party in Connecticut. Mother nature tried to stop us by throwing us a winter blizzard but that didn't stop everyone from coming. It was a smaller party than usual but uniquely intimate.

Oliver got lots of practice walking up and down grandma and grandpa's stairs.

Oliver also got to see his very favorite little man, Jordan. We couldn't keep Oliver away from him. He kept wanting to give Jordan hugs and kisses. It was simply precious.

Oliver joined in the traditional carol singing. He learned a lot while studying the score with his grandpa.
After learning the music with grandpa, Oliver felt brave enough to get up in front of everyone and sing with his grandpa.
A few days later we returned to CT to celebrate the Christmas holiday. We started our evening by taking our annual holiday pictures in front of the tree.

Oliver got lots of presents including a rocking horse and his very own fold out couch.
The greatest gift Oliver got was to spend lots of time with his grandma and grandpa. He really loves them!

Poor Gizmo only got this box of raisins for Christmas. Better luck next year pug!
