Christmas 2012

My kids looked super cute on Christmas Sunday in their new church clothes.  It looked similar to these pictures, only not quite because I didn't take any pictures, so these are from today :)

Cameron was grouchy so I tried taking a couple with just the big kids.  They turned out super blurry.  My bad.  Maybe I should stop using my camera phone all the time.   It is just so convenient though.

Then we added Cameron into the mix and it all went to heck!  We were running a few minutes later, I was trying to hurry, and he wasn't having any of it.  Seems like he does this every time I try to get a group shot.

 That's when I decided, if you can't beat em, join em, was my best shot and we decided to just be silly.

These are some pretty cute kids, bad pictures and all.  

Halloween 2012

 Little Miss Lulu was a cheerleader in Aunt Cathy's old uniform.  This is a 3rd generation outfit people...be impressed.

 Lila and Maci at the school Halloween Parade.

 Jackson was James Bond/FBI agent.  Basically he wore a suit and slicked his hair back.

 The Zoo...I mean Halloween Parade at school.  I sat through over 1000 kids.  It was kind of a big deal.  I think I'll skip next year :)

 Sunny was a princess, who had to pull up her dress because it was dragging on the ground.  Rakel was some kind of Spanish pioneer, but she looked liked Sunny's lady in waiting as they walked arm in arm around the gym.

 Cam was a cute dinosaur...as was Griffin.  I swear I had a picture of just the two of them, but I can't seem to find it.

All of the monsters.  Cam did not want to sit for pictures.

Sunny's Cake

Can't remember if I posted these or not.  This is Sunny and her ipod cake I made back in August for her birthday.

Back When It Was Warm...

 ...we went to Thanksgiving point with Mimi, and I'm pretty sure I never blogged about it.  I'm guessing it was September?!?

My Favorites

 Some of my favorites from the trip.  I am so happy that Pok was able to meet and spend time with my girls. When we got home, they both described him this way to Jackson,

" He was really quiet, so we were a little nervous at first, but he is REALLY funny...especially with his walking cane."

I love it!

 And with Mok.  The girls just loved her.  She sent them home with special jewelry and special dolls and the girls couldn't have been happier.

Randoms

 The girls raking leaves.  They were also picking up pine cones and acorns.  Lila was particularly awed by them.  I guess we don't really have any in our yard since we don't have any pine trees.

The girls also loved how huge the yard was.  They definitely aren't used to that.

 Pok's white board.  It has become a tradition to leave messages on it for Pok when we visit.  B.J. drew the Mario and I wrote the note.

Me, Pok, and Mok

 At the airport.

The girls were so sad to say goodbye.  Hayden just hugged me and cried.  We can't wait until we get to see everyone again.

Thanksgiving Day 2012

 Again, I failed miserably with pictures.  But, I did at least get one with Aunt Terry.  We don't get to see her very often, so it was really a treat that she was able to come up from South Florida.  She is so much fun to have around.

 B.J. with Mister Dick, who is Pok's best friend.

My Grandparents with their three daughters.  What a good looking family!

The girls had a ball.  They played all day and we got to spend lots of time outside enjoying the beautiful weather.  You have to love November in the south.  

And just for the record.  I failed to get pictures of Aunt Cathy, Richard, Martha, Jeff, and Krystle.  We had a great day and have much to be thankful for.
