Family Photo Shoot

We need a new family photo! Its been on my mind for months yet somehow I managed to put it off. Someone always needs a haircut or something! I also wanted to get some photo Christmas cards out. So a few days ago my sis Amber was over for a visit and we coerced her into taking a jillion pictures of us. Thanks Am. The kids we not exactly sure what we were wanting them to do or how to smile when we were sitting beside them but I guess thats because they are 5 and 2. I did get a christmas card out even if it wasn't a 'perfect' shot.

Mudgy & Milly

A few weeks ago the kids and I went to Coeurdalene to follow the trail that co-insides with the Mudgy and Milly book. We started the morning with strawberry pancakes at Sherri's and sang Christmas carols on the way. So fun to be with my niece, nephew, kids and Bonnie all together. It was wet, rainy and cold but we managed to make the best of it and the kids really enjoyed simply being together. Not to mention I got some cute pics!

Thankful!

We had some friends over yesterday for dinner and a movie- my first ever viewing of It's a Wonderful Life! I waited way too long to watch that one. Its the theme for our womens Christmas luncheon Saturday so I thought I'd better have seen it. Anyway I was just thinking how blessed we are to have great friends and family and a nice home to entertain them in during these winter months. God is good!

The kids are still really into dress up, especially when they know someone is coming over so I snapped these yesterday, and then Audrey snapped one of Ben and I. Enjoy!
