CHRISTMAS EVE!!!


SAKURA SAYS, "MERRY CHRISTMAS!"






YEA! It feels like these past few weeks drug by as we waited for the holiday. We had a few new twists to our routine this year with Collin getting into everything!


We usually put out presents from family as they come in and put ours out early too, so the kids can guess! Well this year it was not happening. Everytime we put out a gift Collin opened it! So, we have had to re-wrap a few and will put them all out before Santa comes on Christmas EVE!




I spent this week trying to do 'professional' photos of the kids since there are few studios here and the $ is over 100 bucks just for a sitting!!! So here are a few that I thought were pretty good considering I was in my bed room!!!





These are someof my favorite shots with the 'dream effect' around their little angelic faces!


Collin and Kyle in a brotherly tussle! I have a similar black and white photo of Carrie and Kyle at these ages, so I wanted to do the boys...in a few years I can add COllin and new bub!

It has gotten hard to get a decent shot with so many faces and active bodies, but here is one that is not half bad!

Well, Merry Christmas to all! We will post some Christmas action shots soon, I am sure!

Miss you all for the holidays!

Countng Down

The kids are counting down until the big Christmas day.
Our house is all decorated, but the tree stands bare underneath since COllin will not leave any present unopened..He got to 2 before I caught him! LOL

Carrie's Christmas play with the community theatre is this week. We are really busy with final rehearsals and 5! showings!

Kyle is always outside and the daily fight to make him wear a coat is getting old...

Collin seems to have the potty thing down, only a very occasional accident (like once a week).

I am getting quite full in the belly and Kevin is lvoing to rub and feel the little guy dance!
