Christmas Pics Anyone?

Ok so December snuck up on me and I decided forget professional cards this year, I will do them, NO problem, right????? Well the kids were not in the mood, are they ever for Christmas pics, I am not sure???? It was interesting to say the least, so here are some of the bloopers and the half way decent pics that were the only ones I got for the cards. Kids remind me everyday how much we should enjoy each moment, they are so full of life and such a precious gift from our Father. My cup runneth over in more than one way:)Merry Christmas!!!

All Bundled Up

Well it is the Panhandle and it took a little longer than usual but winter has arrived with a vengance. It has been in the 30's in the days and in the very low 20's at night so needless to say we have been bundled. I wanted to show how cute the kids looked Sat. night before leaving to go to Nonee's while Mommy went to a Christmas Party. They were being so cute, Addison is so much help with Lawson and she insisted on putting his hat on him. They are my "bundles" of joy:)

PS thanks MiMI for the hat, it gets comments everywhere we go, he looks so cute in it:)

Cookies at Nonee's

While Larry and I were out celebrating our anniversary. the kids stayed with Nonee and Big Pop:) They had a special assignment and they both liked it, as you will see in the pics. These cookies were the same ones we made with my Mom growing up, so she was excited to continue the tradition. The final product were some yummy candy cane cookies handmade with love by my two favorite babies:)

Happy Anniversary:)

Can you believe it, on Dec. 4 we have been married 8 years:) It has been such a journey and I feel so blessed to have Larry in my life. It is amazing what you learn about marriage as you are on the journey. It is not about being perfect, it is not a fairy tale, but it is an incredibly rewarding growth process that comes from your commitment to the covenant you have formed together with our Savior. Larry and I have been blessed so much in the last 8 years, with tons of incredible memories and best of all two incredible children. It has been a journey for sure, but I wouldn't trade it for the world:)

Christmas Parade

Addison was in the "Big Borger Christmas Parade"!!! It was so much fun... it started yesterday with a 3 hour plus decorating the float extravaganza. The theme was "White Christmas" and all the girls were penguins. The float was all white of course, with an igloo in the middle and a blow up penguin. There was also a flocked Christmas tree and lots of white lights. If I may say so we did a GREAT job:) Anyway then today we met all the penguins and loaded the float down, by the way all these girls are from Dance Steps Studio where Addie Grace takes dance. They were too cute for words and the parade was fun, I joined the girls in all white with some other Moms, we were suppose to blend into the snow theme:)Fun Memories for sure:)
