Look how cute my sister is! One of my favorite things about my family . . . music!
Half of the clan on Christmas eve. I was so happy to have my whole family at my house for Christmas! We had the best time staying up laughing and playing games! I can't remember the last time I laughed so hard! I literally wrapped my big belly with one of Rachel's ace bandages because it was so sore from laughing!
Adam was all smiles with all of his "big boy" toys that he got for Christmas. After surviving two years with barbies and my little ponies, Santa thought it was high time he got some manly things to play with. (I also cut his hair a couple of days before Christmas)
Beautiful Audrey with the new doll house that Santa Clause brought for her and Rachel.
Uncle Tyler being really excited about opening his gift!
The girls were really excited about these perfectly awful fluffy pink purses that Aunt Britt got for them.
They were so cute Christmas morning. They were so patient to take turns waiting for everyone to open their presents one at a time. They were so grateful and appreciative of everything that they got. They hugged each other when they gave each other their gifts. They behaved so well that it made me feel better about spoiling them.
Aunt Chels and the little man. He looks so much older to me with shorter hair.
Rachel and Uncle "Ty Ty" are best buds! They have some kind of quirky connection!
Cheese!
Just to prove that James and I were there, I thought I'd throw in these last two. I hid from the camera most of the trip. (You won't see any pictures of me on here until after the baby is born) I don't know why this is the only picture of James - sorry honey!
Dad, I'm sorry. I had to do it! My Dad was pushing out his stomach so hard in the picture I think he might have pulled a muscle! Here is me in all my pregnant glory!
Introducing . . . Brittany and Garrett! My little sister is engaged! He proposed on Christmas eve! The best thing about Garrett . . . he's a Texan! They met over the summer while Brittany lived with me. That means that they will be moving here when they are done with school! I get to have family here!! Thank you Garrett! I had a great time photographing them. We took a bunch of engagement pictures. I left out the best ones because I didn't want to spoil the announcements but I had to share a few.
My Mom and Dad having a little fun with the whole engagement picture idea. They were trying to show Britt and Garrett how it's done!
Rachel learned how to pump all by herself! No more pushing her on the swings!!! Yeah!
cute cute! good post - feel better now?
ReplyDeleteGreat job on those engagement pictures! They turned out so pretty - yay for expensive cameras and talented photographers! and I'm jealous Rachel taught herself how to pump on the swing - I was trying to teach cameron just today, and he wasn't quite there yet. soon. LOVE the pics of your parents - made me laugh. Ya'll are SO goofy! Makes ME wish your family lived close by!
ReplyDeleteHow fun to have your whole family there for Christmas! Great photos all around. And don't be ashamed of your belly, you are a cute pregnant girl. :)
ReplyDeleteCongratulations to Brittany!!!
Yea! I love all these pictures! You are quite the little photographer! Those pictures of your mom and dad have given me a huge gut wrenching laugh! Some of my milk came out as I was eating my cereal! Brittany and her man are darling! That is so exciting!
ReplyDeleteI didn't know that you family was in Texas for Christmas...how great! Those pictures are all darling. Your girls really are beauties! Congrats to your sister. She looks so much like you!
ReplyDeletehi there friend.... SUCH cute pics of the kids, Rach looks so georgeous in this last pic. Wow how they've grown up. Brennan is about to lose his front 2 teeth and the other day we were laughting about how he lost his first tooth because he got kicked in the mouth by a girl- Audrey! Your parents are so cute, I hope you look as good as your mom when you're older. do you think James will look like your dad? gray hair and all?? ha ha. Awesome that your sister met someone there and will move down with you... pretty soon your parents will be there too! and then you can all get that bumper sticker that says "I wasn't born in Texas but I got here as fast as I could." So you're looking uncomfortably big. It's not an insult. James, nice Santa shirt. Adam does look like a big boy. Damon just turned 18 months and is supposed to start nursery. just gave him his first haircut and he too looks older all of a sudden. So your bro Tyler is killing me, is he trying to get a certain look to play a part in a movie or something?? Or maybe he's sparing everyone because he was so upset that one time that you cut his hair right on the carpet without putting anything down and he thought it was so discusting. I'll be quiet now.... miss you... good luck with baby #4 delivery

Oh so that's where you were during the holidays. Your family came to you this year. I sure missed seeing you this year for the holidays. You look great and I'm jealous that you are so close to your due date. Good luck w/ everything.
ReplyDeleteYour girls are so beautiful. I wish I was there to see the next Carter. We'll have to visit in like 6 months when things have calmed down a little. Maybe we'll even stay in a hotel to make it more enjoyable for all. I love you and miss you. I love alllll your photos. Did I tell you Jeremy got me a camera for christmas. I love it.
