Here are pics from this year's Christmas! No order or rhyme or reason to them just my faves! I had a bugger of a time getting them to upload to blogger for some reason! GRRRR!

My sweet Baby Blake - this was him after mommy was trying to get a cute pic of him in a Santa hat - which totally didn't work! He hates hats! But this is precious and a pretty good trade off!

My silly oldest child - I can see the layout now - Have a cool Yule!

Me opening my custom stamp pad holder - so glad hubby actually got a pic of me for once!

My boys in front of the tree! Aren't they cute?

Blake and cousin (something like 2nd cousin once removed but you get the idea) Taylor - they are 3 weeks apart! She is my cousins baby girl! We HAVE to get them together more - they live less than an hour from us!

Mommy and Blake Christmas morning - after a very long sleepless night - apparently Blake wanted to stay up and wait for Santa! Silly boy doesn't he know Santa won't come unless you are ASLEEP?!?!? Even if it is on the couch after the 5th time getting mommy/daddy out of bed! Man I should have retouched that photo!

Family Christmas Photo 2008! Not too bad - using the timer on my camera! And of course I learn about the backlight setting AFTER this pic! Next year!

My sweet baby boy and my sweet Grammie - his great grandma - my dad's mom - the matriarch of our family! There are now 5 generations living! She has 4 children, 9 grandchildren, 11 great grandchildren and 1 great-great grandchild - not counting the inlaws!

Here are my fave pics from Christmas this year....coming soon to a layout near you!

I made the CUTEST little card today for Andrew's cousin who just had a baby girl Addison. It was a tri-fold card that I used the slot punch and you tucked it behind the little tab. On the inside you I used the slot punch again to make it so it would hold a gift card! And I took a picture - but now it's saying invalid file format so I have no picture! :( so sad! Why oh why did I only take one picture? Cause I was in a hurry that's why - or rather Andrew was hurrying me - that's it - lets blame the hubby! Anyway we had fun at lunch with the cousins and Double G and Grandma Ray and Papa Tim. So I will just share those pics! I am working on submissions for the DT call over at Serendipity Scrapbooks! I want to submit them before leaving for in-laws on Tuesday. I am going to try and schedule posts for while I am gone - we shall see if it works!


Kaden and Reed playing BUBBLES

Blake on Daddy's shoulders! He loved it and kept trying to grab on to Daddy's very short hair!

Grandma Ray helping Blake "walk" he loved the grass on his feet!

Working on sharing with Cousin Reed.
