Lots of Smiles

I am pressed for time at the moment and cannot seem to get these photos to rotate. So this is what you get. Lots of smiles, even if they are sideways. Enjoy!

Happy New Year

Here are some recent pictures from 2012. Tanner is loving his jumper and the other kids are a little bit jealous.

For New Years we had our friends over for dinner, treats and games. It was a really fun time. We carried on the tradition of making newspaper hats. It was fun and everyone was so creative. My hat was supposed to be a cowboy hat, but I had trouble with the brim. Eric was going for a mitre (pope hat). Alex wanted and "A" hat. Morgan wanted the tallest, most pointy hat possible. Tara came up with a creative concoction and added a picture of a panda bear on the front. It was very cute.

Merry Christmas Everyone!

It was a wonderful day! I feel so blessed to have such a wonderful family and so many things that make life comfortable, fun and good. Here are some shots from this morning. We all were very spoiled and really enjoyed the gifts from everyone!

Each year Grammie give the kids an ornament. This year they were little birds. Here Tanner is holding his chickadee (cheeseburger (do you know what I'm referring to?))

Since children are supposed to be rear-facing until two now, we bought this mirror for him in the car. Well he found somebody cute to kiss. Isn't he growing up too quickly!

Lot's of present opening and chaos in the next few pictures.

Brigham is Eric's cousin. Last year we all got him some obnoxious singing dolls. He thankfully gave us awesome t-shirts to outdo us this year. We love them and you Brigham!

Would someone please tell my husband he needs a hair cut. He won't listen to his loving wife any longer. Really, it is all, I mean ALL I wanted for Christmas. And sadly, it didn't happen. My birthday is in a few days though, so I'll keep praying and fasting :o)

Thanksgiving, Smiles and Celery

We had a wonderful Thanksgiving. Very relaxing and enjoyable. Tim and Rindy always show a good time. Sadly, I didn't bring the camera in from the car, so there is a lack of pictures. Tim (Eric's Uncle) is picking up the slack and I am borrowing his posts. Please take the time to look at the posts. They are really great!

Here are some other pictures in random order. The middle pictures are the most recent. The favorite of the bunch is the picture of Tanner holding the piece of celery Alex gave him the other day. He thought it was great. Enjoy!
