Christmas 2011 (my pictures)

These are my pictures from Christmas. I didn't take any Christmas morning so I'll wait to get Pops' and then I'll post those too.



Making biscuits - a tradition at Gami's house. Aunt Feather is passing on the know how.


CJ took these next portraits.


Look at my gorgeous 80something year old grandmother, Oma(I won't give her full age away).




Stockings at Gami's.





Christmas Eve slumber party.


On the way to Aunt Jennie's. CJ wore this for 2 days straight and I'm surprised it hasn't been every day since.


Oma's great grandchildren (except Audrey who was having a rough night).


Oma's family!


Seth and new baby Cruise.

Pictures from the budding photographer, CJ

He loves Granpaw and his MSU football outfit.

Decorating and attempts at a picture of all 4 kids

Attempt #1 - No, Camille is not drunk.


Attempt #2...wait CJ, wait CJ


Attempt #3....oh well.

CJ's Christmas program

Socks in the bath

Sometimes you just have to do what you have to do with a 2-year-old.

Santa

Not surprised

You just never know what you'll find in the fridge.

Katie's 12th birthday

Opryland Hotel, here we come. Clark and I took Katie and 5 of her friends to spend the night at the Opryland Hotel. We had so much fun.

The view from our balcony into the Atrium.

Pink and green cupcakes at the restaurant. Their waitress (and all the other staff) we so great.

Ahh, the Converse tradition.


Ellie got paid back.

Wating for the boat ride.


The plan was to go swimming in the indoor pool, but it was closed due to a nose bleed earlier in the pool so they got in the hot tub outside. Clark and I watched from inside because it was COLD outside.

Saturday morning consisted of shopping and then lunch at the pizzaria.


We had a small family celebration on our porch Saturday night.



After a weekend of JJ and Pops and Katie's birthday activities CJ was wiped out Sunday night.

Halloween 2011

We started with Fall Fest at the church Saturday.

The vampire and Thomas the Train.


Pac-man and Inky



2 vampires


Sunday we went to the Ford's Family Fall Fest.






We carved 4 of our pumpkins....2 faces, 1 football and 1 BOO.



Monday we went trick-o-treating around the neiborhood.


CJ getting a hug from Ellie (one of his favorites of Katie's friends). Katie was sick so she didn't trick-o-treat.




CJ had fun, but was ready to just sit on the porch with Daddy and hand out candy while Camille and kept on.


Finally back home with 2 worn out kids.
