Brendan's Home!

Even more exciting than Christmas this year was welcoming my baby bro back from Brazil! We got to talk to him on Christmas as usual, but it was different knowing that we would be able to see him in person in less than a month...well here's how it went!
Everyone waiting...and waiting...and waiting!

Phoebe showing off...Look what I can do!

Gwen's pouty face...

Mama waiting...patiently????

The poster - anyone who knows my dad knows that with every BIG event, a poster MUST be made!

He's here!

Mom not wanting to share (typical) :)

The fam...but it looks like Nate and Rebecca are missing...hmmmm...where did they go?

Freezing weather (not quite what he's used to)

First request - Reed's Dairy- Of coarse!

Welcome Home Brother!

Christmas 2009

A little late as normal, but I got some super cute pictures of Christmas this year that I HAD to post!

Christmas was A*W*E*S*O*M*E! My husband spoiled me with my gift...custom gift tag and everying...



..I was so excited, it will take me a while to learn about all of the cool features, but photography has been something that has interested me for a while and I am anxious to start learning! I got Ronnie this affects pedal thing for his guitar, for anyone that knows anything about guitars (me not included) it has like 4 pedals on it and it allows him to distort sounds and record etc...that's about the extent of my knowledge. He can do some crazy stuff on it though! It was so nice to spend some quality time with the family, everyone was able to come this year (except for Brendan who was on his mission...at the time). The little girls were as entertaining as ever! Phoebe still loves her mama the most...actually I think she loves her mama ONLY - we still have a hard time getting her to come to us, but it's sure a treat when she does! Here she is giving her kissy face - I know my mom put this on her blog already, but it is now one of my favorite picture and I had to post it too


Gwen was as also entertaining as ever! I'm afraid that I might not be the best influence on her...she kept stealing my Diet Coke, so I decided to give her her very own cup-I'm sure that didn't help to keep her calm...

CrAzY gIrL!

All in all it was an awesome Christmas - I love any chance I get to sneak away from work for a couple of days and relax with everyone that I love!
