Another Christmas come and gone...

But definitely one of our sweetest ones yet!

It was almost off to a rocky start. Luckily "Santa" had just barely finished wrapping presents and setting them under the tree when at 11:50pm on Christmas Eve little Miss Sammy walks into our room and scares us to death. We were nearly caught red handed, but luckily we were just finishing up on wrapping presents for friends and family.

However, she was so disappointed to have just missed Santa (wink, wink... and our hearts are still pounding at this time because we knew we just dodge a HUGE bullet). Apparently she had be trying so hard to stay awake to hear the reindeer on our roof... how sweet is that!! So after a big glass of water and one midnight trip to the bathroom she was back in slumber land. Only now when she woke in the morning there was no big present reveal... it was more like... yeah, I saw all that last night, no biggie. What a little stinker!

Of course... of all the $$ presents the kids received this year... it's the $1 store slinky's that are the hit!


These were Brooke's favorites...



And this was Brody's favorite... CANDY! CANDY! CANDY!


This probably has nothing to do with him throwing up the minute he woke up this morning... naw, it couldn't!! :-)

Whoa baby, it's been a lonnnng time!

OK, here we go... my attempt to play catch up... Scrolling down you see it was just a few posts ago that I was so proud of my new lil 2nd grader. Well as time so often does it just flew right by and we just wrapped up 2nd grade year... watch out 3rd grade. As tradition in our house here is Sam's mini shoot commemorating her 2nd grade year.

Someone had a birthday...

Albeit almost 6 months ago, but better late than never. Samantha turned 9 years old in January and I cannot believe how big she is. Every once in a while I will catch a glimpse of her and just think to myself...WOW, you are all mine...I get to keep you forever!! I love that she is in our family and it would not be the same without her.

Random photos...

Whenever I have a photo shoot planned at my house in my little “studio” I always beg and plead with the kiddos to sit for just a second so that I can get the lights and set up just right before the actual shoot. Well, in doing that, I always end up with the most random of photos... ENJOY! [taken December 2011]
