This Is Why We Are Never Buying Another Real Christmas Tree

Laney & Saylor

I thought these pictures were so cute of Laney and Saylor. Laney always says I want to pet Saylor or Ava or Ali. Shes so cute. Saylor is the tiniest baby, she has the smallest legs. I was changing her diaper and was afraid I was going to snap her legs in two. She is so sweet and has the prettiest eyes. She's so precious. We love her!!

Christmas 2008

Every year on Christmas we go to Ryan's parents house and have a huge brunch with the whole family. It so nice to be able to get together with everyone and celebrate Christmas. The kids love going there. Here are some random shots of Christmas morning at our house. We took our camera to Ryan's parents but always forget to take pictures. And that's where I found my camera.

Christmas Eve 2008

We usually go to my Dad's house on Christmas Eve but this year they decided to come over to our house. It was a nice change. We had a small dinner and some chips and dips and had a really nice visit. Here are some random pictures from the night.

I Can't Find My Camera

I have no idea where its at. I have looked every where. Once I find it I will post pictures of Christmas Eve and Christmas Day.

Our Sad Tree

Our poor tree, from lack of watering, it is slowing beginning to die. You can tell from looking at these pictures that the bottom half is sagging down. Our ornaments keep falling off it and the bottom half is touching the carpet. Ryan is afraid to turn the lights on for fear that it will go up in flames. I guess this is why we have always had a fake tree. I told Ryan that we will need to go to the after Christmas sale and get a fake tree. Target has a awesome black one that I want, so hopefully I can get it at a rippin deal.





This is the tree from Target I want. So cool.

The Twins + Four

We watched my sister in law Brittany's 4 month old twins and her 3 year old and 1 year old sons on Saturday, in addition to my 7 year old and 3 year old daughters. So we had 6 kids all day long. I had to mentally prepare myself for a week. I was bracing for the worst. And I was pleasantly surprised. It was much easier than I thought it was going to be. Minus the fact that Tate kicked Laney in the head and Ashton jumped on Avi's tummy, things went great. The twins were so sweet and slept most of the time and when they were awake they would just lay there and hardly make a peep. It was kinda hard because one would be asleep and the other one would wake up and be hungry. I don't know how Brittany does it. 4 kids under the age of 3. She must take some really good pills or just has a lot of patience, I think its the latter.






I think this picture is so funny. Avi made little pieces of paper that said this is Ali, this is Ava and layed them by them so we wouldn't get confused.

Old Pictures

I got a new printer/copier/scanner at the after Thanksgiving sale and I have been going through a bunch of my old pictures from when I was a little girl. I came across this picture of me in the tub when I was about 2 and I cant believe how much Laney looks like me. I showed Laney this picture and she thought is was her.




I also came across this picture of me and my Grandpa at the Grand Canyon when I was about 3. This is one of my favorite pictures.
