Christmas 2010

I wasn’t nearly as good taking pictures this year, but we still managed to take a ton!  But first, a week or so before Christmas I hear the kids fighting in the front room.  I walk in to find this:

DSCN1486 DSCN1488 Why yes, yes they are fighting over BABY JESUS!!!  Grr, kinda defeats the point there kiddos!  Anyway, on to Christmas pictures!

Christmas Eve Eve – opening presents from Grandma Becky and the Davids:

(Here lately, every time it seems we take pictures of Makenna, she has messy hair!  Not sure what that’s about…)

The kids seriously played with their “music” for HOURS!

On Christmas Eve, the package from my mom still hadn’t arrived, so the kids each opened a present from “each other.”

Daddy’s turn!

Christmas morning I woke up at about 5am.  I couldn’t go back to sleep, so I finally got up a little before 7.  Everyone was still asleep, so I sat in the front room, talking to my mom, and looking at this:

Why was everyone still asleep when they had this to open?!?:

DSCN1534 Finally, I had to just basically wake everyone up at about 8!  I couldn’t wait any longer!  We didn’t take as many pictures Christmas morning because Daddy had the camera. : )

That’s it!  I didn’t get pictures of them playing with their toys from Grandma Linda, or opening the package from Grandmom, OR wearing their new dress clothes on Sunday!  Grr!  Just know it was a lot of fun! : D

Picture Overload!

Ahhhhh!!!!  I was going to wait until the new year to post these, but I couldn’t stand it another second!  My lovely friend Ashley, over at Ashley Moore Photography, took our family photos a few weeks ago, and they are WONDERFUL!  Seriously, she even made my super cranky kids look adorable and happy (well the adorable part probably wasn’t so remarkable because they ARE adorable, but they weren’t necessarily HAPPY that day so that’s AMAZING!).  I had a ZILLION favorite pictures, but these are a few many of my favorite favorites!

Okay, so here are some of Mr. Max.  He was a GRUMP that day!  We had to wake him up from a nap, and he was NOT happy with any of us! But somehow Miss Ashley magically captured Max as the guy he is—mischievous and oh so adorable!

Now for the always gorgeous and super photogenic Miss Makenna:

Do you think we should have Makenna go into modeling? She makes BEAUTIFUL photos! : D

Mom and Max:  (I seriously think these show the relationship between me and Max so well—he is DEFINITELY a mama’s boy!)

Believe it or not, there were MANY more pictures to choose from that I did NOT post here!  I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE these pictures!  Thanks again Ashley!!!! (Don’t worry, Grandmas/relatives, I’ve mailed you some pictures!  I didn’t get them all out to you, so tell me which of these are your favorites and I’ll send them off to you!)
