Christmas Time is here!

We gathered together to decorate the tree. It was a fun night together

The kids thought it would be fun to decorate Parker.

Stockings? Where are you suppose to wear these things? Piper tried every option...her foot
maybe you are suppose wear it like a hat. So fashionable
It fits well on my arm.
Everyone decorating the tree.
This year it was Max's turn to put the star on the tree.
Don't ask me why the boy won't wear a shirt on a December night.
This is our Elf. He comes to us every Christmas time. Everyday he is in a new spot and the kids have to find him. He use to be called Scooty but this year Parker renamed him Dwight. So now the kids run around saying we have to find Dwight.

Yes, the blog is still alive.....

I know, I know I have been slacking on this blog. I have been busy busy busy editing editing and editing. I am having so much fun doing everyone's photoshoots and Christmas Cards but yes, the family blog has been neglected. I will post some shots from Gracie's baptism and maybe if things go well I will get to the Thanksgiving shots. But don't hold your breath!

It's the most wonderful time of year. Watch this video to get in the Spirit of Thankfulness.

Back to School

Back to School means...

5 Kids back to school 

5 sack lunches

4 different schedules 

and one Piper left at home

Here is a picture of Max and some of his buddies off to their first day of kindergarten

Of course Piper had to bring her back pack too.  Everyday she hopes to follow Max into Class and everyday we leave with her yelling, "Me school, Me school!"
Max off to Kindergarten
