Late pictures of our little boy

Brian has been giving me a hard time about not posting these, yet, so here they are!
A couple of pictures of our little boy...

He's looking right at us in this one...

Here is a good profile shot with his hand up beside his mouth...

More Christmas Day pics

On Christmas Day, Memama, Grandaddy, Aunt Andrea and Mary Frances came to eat lunch. Charlie was sick, so he and Uncle Kevin had to stay home. All day, Genna said over and over "Charlie sick? Poor Charlie". We really did miss him and Uncle Kevin.

The girls were so excited to see each other and Mary Frances immediately had to put on her Cinderella dress, too!

Mary Frances loved the Ariel doll that we gave her...

Memama and Grandaddy

They had so much fun playing! They would go into the playroom for awhile, then come out wearing something extra, always walking together under the umbrella.

more Guitar Hero with Daddy.

Christmas morning

Genna had a great Christmas! This was the first year that she semi-understood what was going on. She loved looking at lights, loved the tree and other decorations, loved those same Christmas cartoons that we watched as children (Charlie Brown Christmas, Frosty the Snowman, Mickey's Christmas Carol, etc) and LOVED opening presents. I think she even understood that the reason we celebrate Christmas is because it is Jesus' birthday. Basically, she just loved every minute of Christmas and really does not understand why people have taken down their lights now.

Yes, I had to pull her hair back because it was sticking straight up! We just couldn't have Christmas morning pictures like that!

First things first, put Daisy Duck in the baby doll bed.

drawing a smiley face on her new chalkboard...

And from this point on, she is Cinderella in all of the Christmas pictures.

Oh, wait, I mean, Dr. Cinderella.

Cinderella also had to try out Mama and Daddy's Christmas present...Guitar Hero!

Daddy and Cinderella rocking...



More to come later of our family over on Christmas Day......

Christmas Eve at home

On Christmas Eve, it was just the 3 of us at home. We had a good time...went to the candlelight service at church, came home and took some pictures while we were dressed up, then rode around and looked at pretty Christmas lights.

We also opened the presents that Uncle Don and Aunt Joan sent!

I love my new baby doll in a carseat!

Christmas with Memama and Grandaddy

Merry Christmas!!!

Merry Christmas to all of my Blogging friends!

Here are some shots from our annual Christmas photo shoot for the Christmas card. I dread it every year because I never know how well Genna is going to cooperate, but this year, I think she did pretty good. She likes to have her picture taken...can you tell???
