Christmas 2011

Christmas Pictures 2011!
Our tree! Decorations didn't stay, not because of Brad but Bree likes to decorate/undecorate and carry the decorations around in bags or boxes.

Stockings! Next year our personalized ones will be up for sure!
Cross my fingers that is on my 2012 resolution list!

Baking cookies for Santa. Look at these two they are identical!
Even that crooked hair thing at the top of Brandon's head and the side of bree's face!

Bradley was content to eat the cookies.

NORAD is definitely a Christmas tradition for us!

Look at the joy in her little face watching NORAD Santa get closer to her house!

Their loot! Santa totally spoiled Bree this year even though I tried to get him to  take some stuff back to the store! (A few of those gifts I won for them)

Bree crawled in bed with us sometime during the night and  we watched her slowly stirring at about 8 a.m.sit up and then  we watch the little light bulb in her head flick on and bright eyed she says "Mom Dad it's Christmas! I want to go see if Santa brought me some presents!" And then of course I tell her she has to wait for me to get the Camera while Daddy pulled Brad from his Brad and as she is bolting down the hall I  tell her to stop until the camera turns on.... Then she finally gets to go and is a little upset with me. But she had so much fun this year and really enjoyed the whole present thing. Unwrapping was the best part for her. She kept looking for something to unwrap. Brad just yawned and walked around the house. He's a fun little boy maybe since he watched us wrap it wasn't that cool for him. :) It just gets better every year!

Bree's favorite gift she says

I think the train was both of their most favorite gift. I won it so we could have
put everything back and I don't think they'd of noticed.

Bradley wasn't into gifts, not even buzz lightyear.
I think he was too tired at 8:30 in the morning .

Bree roped Grandma into playing in her clubhouse and having a teaparty



Much later after church, before they started ripping their clothes off.
They looked so cute for church with shoes and hair done!
 Too bad we didn't leave early enough for pictures before! I just used the same Christmas dress for Bree since it matched Brad's new suit. She got a cute purple one for Christmas.
Look how much they have changed in 1 year!! I can't believe how little they both were!

I was excited Sears had a coupon this year where you could get the full res download of one pic, too bad not a single one turned out but this was the best they got. 
Merry Christmas!

The Grinch Visits

The Grinch's annual Christmas Visit. It was crazy, loud and so much fun! It's usually just Bree so we decided to have a party this year since she was a little older and (13 kids!) it was crazy but that's what made it so great! The Grinch brought a ton of candy, practical joke things, air horns and glow in the dark ring things. The kids had a great time. I didn't get a pic of them building gingerbread houses.  

Bree checking out the Grinch

Brad checking out the Grinch. Breelyn just got a hair cut, now she has some culte little bangs.
With the lights off. Imagine tons of screaming.
The lights are still off but the camera flash exposes the screaming and fun.
If you can see Bree's little face she is so happy to have friends come play.

Hi. Breelyn and I made the top link and then I just saw the second one and thought I would share it was really fun and once again, all our toilet paper rolls are missing their inner cardboard piece. :)

Christmas Pictures

Sears had a coupon for one free digital copy and my session was HORRIBLE I have to say I truly  hate Sears portrait studio in Pocatello. My sister was good but that was years ago and I have always had horrible sessions since Ashley left work there. NEVER go there! So it was so bad she gave me some free ones on the disk too. They are all pretty awful and Bree had a cold sore but these are them.
