Christmas 2006- Impromtu Photo Session

The kids have really started to like having their pictures taken (really good for a photo-lovin' Mama!). We had just purchased their Christmas outfits and they had to put them on as soon as we got home, so I grabbed my camera and started snapping! They were running around chasing each other in a circle, dancing and just having a blast. These are some of my favorite shots:

More December Events

Our 1st trip apart ; (

Dec. 11- Daddy & Zach setting out for Albuquerque. Mari & I sure missed our guys!

Dec. 13- While the guys were gone, Mari & I tried to catch a meteor shower. It didn't start until about 10:30pm so Mari didn't last long- she was so sleepy! I put her to bed and tried to stay up late enough to see some showers... By 11:30 I was give out. I only caught 3 falling stars (none on camera, of course!) I must be getting old...

Mari decorating her Christmas tree... She put all of the ornaments on the same branch!!

I'll Never Catch Up...

Well, I'm resigned to the fact that I will never be "caught up" on anything in my life... including this blog... so I'm just gonna start fresh today and try to keep it up from now on. Here are some of the highlights from Nov & Dec:

DADDY'S IDEA OF A BUBBLE BATH!!

MY LITTLE PRINCESS & PRINCE CHARMING DANCING

(Zach calls this outfit his "Prince Charming" clothes- it was actually one of Jared's suits when he was little!)

THE KID'S IDEA OF FUN WHILE STUCK IN THE TRUCK! 11/15/06

(While we unloaded a truck in ABQ, NM, the kids decided to do a little research on "Big Rigs")

THANKSGIVING '06 AT OUR HOUSE

EN ROUTE TO JACKSON, MS 11/28/06

(Yes, Mari is on the potty... behind the wheel. No, the truck is not on!)

WE STAYED WITH OUR GOOD FRIENDS "UNCLE JR. & AUNT CINDY" WHILE IN MS. THE KIDS HAD A BLAST!

FINALLY HEADING HOME FOR A MUCH NEEDED REST

(If you can call Christmastime restful!).

MARI JUST HAD TO BE BEAUTIFUL FOR THE TRIP!

Well, that's enough for now. I'll post Christmas pictures next month... Just Kidding! I'm gonna try to do it tomorrow...
