Just One Good One. . .

Nana Banana was nice enough to offer to take a family portrait for us in front of the tree on Christmas Eve. It's always fun to do family pictures. We say off the wall comments just to make us smile. One of our favorites is "Daddy wears pantyhose." (don't worry Big Daddy would never do that) Another way to get us going is to do a little fanny pinching and squeezing.

One of the first shots. Notice Miss Priss is spinning around to find out WHO touched her. Cowgirl is protecting her backside. Big Daddy is checking to see if his aim is right and Little Mama is protecting her backside too.

Now it's Drama Queen's turn to mix it up and do a famous dance move trying to squirm away from fanny pinches. Miss Priss is protecting her assets. Diva is making sure she can be seen while Cowgirl obviously has her hand covering her hiney.

Great smiles in this one. Cowgirl caught her attacker! Miss Priss is tired of smiling and protecting her hind-end. Drama Queen's face is saying, "Enough Already!"

Finally, a good shot. . . for the most part!

Couldn't skip putting one if of just the girls. They are all so beautiful and full of energy. Such a delight to have kids at Christmas time.

Next Christmas. . .

I plan on making a few gifts. I'm gonna get a jump start and may start with these:

Angels!

Fun For The Holidays

The Naughty List

I think she earned her spot!

While I was journal-ing this morning - yes, I keep a separate journal - pen and paper that I can grab when ever I need and not be judged with what I write. Well, I put my pen down and was heading into the kitchen to grab a glass of water (which has been delayed since I had to blog this right away) and this is what I discovered behind the couch. This Santa hat was under the Christmas tree this morning. Guess Boo dragged it behind the couch and proceeded to shred the pom on the top of the hat. Who knew the dollar tree hats had SO MUCH fuzz when pulled apart? Once I gathered all the fuzz off the floor, it looked like I had enough stuffing to stuff a full sized football.

Now look at the picture. . . apparently she was satisfied with her work and decided to get her chew toy and continue to play on top of the Santa hat. Yes, I had to pull fuzz of the toy too.

What do you think? Is she on the Naughty List? Anyone at your house on the list too?

We Made Them Look!

Don't you just love Miss Priss's slumped shoulders??

Big Daddy's Hat

Being able to snag this picture the other day after Big Daddy got home from work was wonderful. I'm glad he is home. He came home early and surprised me for my birthday. I'm so thankful he is here for the holidays!

Thanksgiving Alien

Miss Priss came home from school on Monday wearing this new "hat." She quickly and proudly announced she was an "Alien." I'm sure she had rehearsed in her head several times exactly what she would say when she burst through the front door. I laughed, Big Daddy laughed and so did Miss Priss when she realized she was trying to tell us she was an Indian.
