Going to bed, but wanted to give you some facebook pics, if you're interested. A better Christmas post coming soon, I promise!

My week is about to be crazy busy getting ready for Christmas, so I'm sure I won't be able to blog until after it's all over... I found this picture of me and my parents (yes, it is an FBCC picture directory picture)- I'm assuming around my first birthday (close to Christmas). I think Makayla looks a lot like me here, but I also see Brynley, what do you think? Either way, my girls are so much more beautiful than I ever was. :)

Also, its my parents anniversary today (well, actually, the 19th, I just realized its after midnight- sheesh!). I love you both, thank you for the wonderful example you set for Jaron and I on what a marriage is supposed to be. Here's to 27 more years (at least)!!

I hope each and every one of you have a wonderful Christmas- don't drink too much eggnog! :)

I know I didn't do a great job on our blog template, but I wanted something Christmasy and this is all I could come up with, so deal with it. :)

I just realized I didn't post any Thanksgiving pictures!!! I'm getting kind of lazy with duplicating pictures here and on facebook, so I decided I'd just post my November album from facebook link on here. If you have no idea what I just said, don't worry about it, just click the link below. :)

I hope each and every one of you are having a blessed holiday season! I just wanted to share a few pictures from our photo shoot with Angela last Saturday. She did a fantastic job of capturing the beauty of my girls (even if they weren't always smiling) and some of my favorite ones turned out to be classic Makayla and Brynley faces. Thanks so much Angela!!!

This is definitely my favorite. It's so them- Makayla thinks a smile and a hug can cure any of Brynley's troubles.
I've pretty much given up on the "posed family picture" for a couple of more years. But this sums us up pretty well. :)







Here's more if you didn't get enough... :)

This is for my little sister, who is upset that I haven't blogged in a whole 5 days! :) These are from our Christmas decorating day this week. Jaron loves decorating for Christmas and did a great job, especially on our lights outside, I'll have to post those pics soon, too! Stay tuned... I'll also be posting our Christmas pics that Angela took yesterday!

Cleaning off the dormant fireplace.


The girls were very intrigued by the tree coming out of a box.


Makayla was very proud of the lights she put on "all by herself".


Brynley was kind of a grinch that day.


Hanging her stocking with care...




Our finished tree... we couldn't find "just the right angel" for the top, so Jaron decided the hat would do. :)
