~Christmas~

 These are not in order at all, but this is some of what we have been up to over Christmas :)

We had the 4 cousins overnight on the 23rd so their mom and dad could get their house ready for our family Christmas. 



She loves combing hair right now...

~Their Christmas pictures~

I took them out this morning and I think it was warmer when we left than when we came back. We still managed to get quite a few good pictures though.

Part 1 of Christmas program

This gets shaky at the end because I was laughing so hard :) Kaylee had just been holding a mic and someone had her put it down so she was sure Nellie needed to put it down too. Sorry if people were offended or thought she was horrible because of playing with the mics I figured they weren't hurting anything and were being quiet ;) Not sure everyone else agreed :)

Kartyr's 4 yr pictures

Out of all the warm days we have had since coming back the only one we both had available was freezing :o) Which is why he is really rosy in most of these pictures.

He did a really good job considering how cold it was. My fingers were frozen by the time we were done.

He didn't think he could lay on the ground for this shot until I laid his coat down first :)

Thanksgiving and Christmas

Here he was pretending the one on the bottom was actually giving the ride, which they all thought was the best.

Dad gave lots of horsey rides...I think he was glad when we all left so he could get some rest ;)
Joanna LOVED her baby doll helping pass out the gifts
This was after lunch while dad was reading the Christmas story...and obviously before my little brother Mark cleaned up the entire kitchen himself. :) That is what I was thankful for that Thanksgiving not having to clean up our mess ;)This is my cousin Kristi's baby girl Khloe she was born on Monday morning while we were there. That day is special to me because it was my mom's birthday too.

He does a really good job for such a little guy :)

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~

Love this one too!

He is getting so grown up :(

Trying to copy her brother

I think she is done... ;)

Yes definitely done ;)
