Christmas Morning

Tried to capture the kids excitement this Christmas morning.  Operative word....TRIED.  It was a tad too chaotic.  Taking pics of kids while they open up gifts is one task to be left to the professionals.  The kids were excited and enjoyed opening all their gifts.  It is funny how Chad and I thought some presents would evoke the biggest surprise reactions from the girls, only to be wrong.  They were the MOST excited about their Squinkies.



















I love Afton's face in this one.  She looks so disappointed!  hahaha!!!

Thanksgiving Feast with Afton

Every year the preschool that Afton attends has a Thanksgiving Feast.  The 3 year old classes get to go on a turkey hunt and fish.  Look at the big fish Afton caught!  After the hunt, the indians get to gather around and enjoy a big feast!

2 Years of Drew Boy!

Sweet Drew.  We are so lucky to have this little guy!  He brings such joy to our lives and he is the sweetest little guy.  Everyone who ever gets to spend time with him always says what a good little guy he is and that he is just so laid back.  I am kind of sad that we are hitting a 2 year milestone because he is the last baby that we will have, but I am also looking forward to all the fun toddler time we are now going to have.

Bubble Bath

I was looking through our pics and came across these.  I didn't even know we had taken these pics.  Pretty Funny!



Another attempt at Christmas card photos

Again, I tried to get the kids pictures for Christmas cards.  For some reason, I cannot get Drew to stay in one spot, I cannot get Avery to keep her hands off of Drew's face, or I cannot get all the kids to look in the same direction.  Now, I know that I don't have to have everyone looking at the camera, I do not need everyone looking perfect, and they can just be themselves.  But....But....But....I just want the pics to look like I am somewhat of a halfway decent photographer!!!!  I should have taken 200 shots instead of 75!!!  Some pics I have really captured the kids personality, but there is always 1 kid out of 3 that looks kind of disoriented or something.  I have a few to pick from and hopefully I can get the Christmas cards done and mailed out soon.  I can't even believe I am doing them this year!!!  I told myself in the past that I was going to save myself the money and stop doing them.  For Heaven's sake, I have a blog & Facebook!!!!  I don't know why I have this urge to send my kids photos out??? (Ok, I do know...I like to show them off)   I guess since I don't want to get "black listed" off of anybody's Christmas card list, I will carry on with the "tradition".  Well, here are a few shots that I took that probably won't make the cut, but I do like them....  (none of these photos have been edited)

 I love this one of all 3, just wish they were closer together!  (It would help me out for a Christmas Card!)
 I absolutely love this one of Afton and Avery!  It captures Afton's personality!!!
