Family Pictures

We were so excited to finally get family pictures. I wanted to share a few of our favorites.





We got some taken of just Maddie because Max got school pictures and we didn't have any portraits of Maddie.

Christmas is Coming!

My kids are so excited for Christmas this year. Maddie has been decorating and redecorating the bottom part of our Christmas tree everyday. Both of the kids love to see the Christmas lights on people's houses and they both love, love, love the snow. They were so excited to get some snow this week. Here is a picture I took today of Maddie in her snow suit. It is so puffy that she has to waddle around, it is so cute.


We had our Ward Christmas party tonight. I am on the activities committee so I was serving food and stuff while Bret got to take care of the kids. Maddie was not making it easy for him. She would not stay put in one place. He got some cute pictures of her though.


The highlight for the evening for the kids was that Santa and Mrs. Clause were there. They go to sit on Santa's lap and they got a candy cane from Mrs. Clause.

Funny Maddie!

It has been awhile since I posted last. We had a crazy busy week this week. I wanted to post this funny picture of Maddie but first I have to explain it a little. We had an appointment scheduled last night to get a family portrait from Max's school for a PTA fundraiser. They had a professional photographer come and for $10 you get a family picture taken and a 10 x 13. With the option to buy more pictures. I was so excited to finally get a new family picture because we haven't got one since Maddie was born. So we got all ready and went. The pictures they took were bad. There wasn't one picture where we were all looking at the camera with our eyes open.When we saw the pictures we asked if we could take more, they tried again with not success. The photographer didn't seem to care that he didn't get a good picture of us. So we came home and I started calling portrait studios. I found a coupon for JC Penny and called them. They couldn't fit us in last night so we went this morning. We got some really cute pictures that I will post when we get them in a week or so. Last night while I was trying to get us an appt while the kids were still in thier picture clothes. Maddie came out of Max's room dressed like this and said, "I'm Thomas the Train!"


She is so funny!
