Christmas Part 3 - The Bittles

Another installment of Christmas photos! Brad made another of his now-famous turkeys (the Alton Brown brine can't be beat), and we had all the holiday trimmings at Nonny & Poppy's Christmas Day in the afternoon.





These just make my heart melt. My girl. :)

Christmas Part 2 - The Pulleys

Josh and Carolyn hosted our Pulley Christmas gathering again this year. We always have fun at their place - plenty for the kiddos to do, and they always have new changes in their house for me to admire! :)

The kids had fun ripping into their stockings to find ornaments chosen with care for each of them by Oma as well as gold $1 coins - and candy. Gotta love the candy. :)

Christmas Part 1 - Ohio

We made our annual Ohio Christmas Trek early this year, but that didn't stop anyone from being in the Christmas Spirit! We even were able to go to the big Fanning Christmas party, something that we're never around for. It was lots of fun seeing the Fannings (and Ranks, of course!) and visiting Tom & Janel's gorgeous home. Try as we might, we were not able to get any photos with all of our kiddos smiling - or actually, even just LOOKING at the camera. Such is life. I just had to post this one to show what could have been! ;)



Oh, and at least THESE cuties smiled and looked at me! I'll be getting these to Charlet soon! :)





Opening gifts at Mammy & Pappy's couldn't have been more fun for the kids if Santa himself had been there! :)







My fave! :)

Cool Yule!

Again, I'm late on the upload. Here are my favorite photos from Natalie's Christmas dance recital "Cool Yule," and a video to boot! :)

I was SO proud of our little snow princess. You can tell she has matured and changed so much just since June in her Mary Poppins recital. She's really trying to learn the routines and follow Miss Jesi!

Thanksgiving . . . a little late

So I'm uploading and going through Christmas photos to post, and I realized two things:
1. I haven't uploaded or posted photos from Thanksgiving!
2. I haven't posted anything at all on the blog since August 22!

Bad, bad blogger mama!!!!

Sooooo without further ado, here are Thanksgiving photos - with Christmas ones soon to come!
