Keeping Christ in Christmas

My kids are getting older and see all the toy commercials but I am proud of them because they still seem to get that Christmas is about celebrating Christ birth. I feel so privaledged to have these 4 wonderful gifts in my life.
Remember to keep Christ in Christmas.

Hello Santa

We braved the long lines on Sunday and the kids got to sit on Santas lap and tell him what they wanted. In true form our youngest is pictured crying in Santas lap. It's tradition!

Building is fun but Eating is sweeter

James bought materials for the girls to make a gingerbread house. So Caity spent the night on Friday night and the girls got to put the house together and decorate it too. They all had a blast.

Icy Fun

Every year the PTA at Hyman Elementary get each student a gift for Christmas. This year the board decided to ake it a gift for the whole family and rented out the ice rink at the Starplex ice rink in Duncanville. Last Friday, Hundreds of families came together for some ice skating. I got Gabi and Krisalyn out on the ice for a total of 30 seconds. I think that picture is on Shaunnas camera. Breaunna had tried ice skating almost 3 years ago and lasted about s long as Gabi and Kris did but she had a blast this time.

Tis the season

Tis the season to be busy, fa la la la la la la la la

It is unbelievable to me that Christmas is so close. Then right after that a new year. Which will mean my sweet Elijah will be turning 1. I am not ready for him to be 1 yet. All the kids are doing well. Breaunna and Gabriella are ready for school to be out for winter break. I think I'd rather them stay in school. It's so hard to keep the house picked up when they are all there. Anyone want to hire a maid for me I'll accept!!! ;)

Lot's of new photo sessions lately and a few more scheduled before Christmas. Check them out.

Need a Laugh? You've come to the right place!

These will expire early January so get your laughs on now!
The kids are still cracking up.

Elijah is 10 months old

I am a little behind in posting some things. Elijah turned 10 months on November
25th. He is 23 pounds and 30 1/4 inches tall. He is cruising now and can find a way to get to whatever he wants in a room. He lights up when someone he knows enters a room. At church he can't take his eyes off his grandad.
For Elijah's 10 month I decided to just take a few fun shots instead of a regular photo shoot. I am in love with these. Hope you all enjoy too.

The Engagement of Sarah & Kelly

I am disapointed in the quality of the slideshow to view on youtube. The DVD had a great quality. If I figure out the problem I will re-upload and repost. But this is as good as it gets right now. For family members wanting to order, Sarah has my price list available and you can get her the sizes along with the number in the corner of each slide.

Thanks,
