Christmas Pictures 2010

While in PA this past week I knew I would be taking pictures of my sister and her family and figured what better time to take Christmas pictures of mine too! We went to a couple different places to get these and nearly froze since it was only in the lower 30's. Thankfully mine haven't gotten sick from the crazy weather changes they experienced. I saw the pictures on a bench from Holly Arender and when the last place we went to had the benches I knew I wanted to try them :)

One of many silly faces she makes while taking pictures now
She was trying to kiss him and thought it was funny apparently anyway LOVE this picture~

He is getting so grown up :(

~Future Hunter~

Darrin bought this for Bradyn when he was 2...he was just a little excited about having a future hunting companion ;) Today we had a fun family day around the house cleaning, playing, etc...

He was very excited to hit the target with Daddy's help of course :)

~A fun lunch~

Our little artists ;)

the finished product

*This is not the pumpkin used for our pumpkin puree :)

Pumpkin pie, pumpkin rolls, pumpkin muffins....

I have always LOVED baking I guess working in a bakery for 8 years probably helped with that ;) This is the first time since moving here that I have actually made my own pumpkin puree. We used the pumpkins they got at the Pumpkin Patch with Bradyn's preschool. He has been asking me almost everyday when we were going to make them :)

Before cooking

After and with the skin off ;)

In freezer containers until I actually make the pies etc...
I decided to try baking the seeds they were a big hit too!

OUCH!!

She was trying to go into the bathroom as the door was being shut...this was after she cut her foot on a toy...needless to say it was not a good day for her :(
