New CAMERA!

Jeff and I decided to buy each other our Christmas present early! We love it! (I had so much trouble uploading the pictures, failed twice...so, I don't care that the pics are not in order.) We put the Christmas tree up Sunday evening!
Lou immediately found his place under it...
We were blessed to have Jen, Josh and Emma over Saturday...we played wii, cards and of course, catch phrase. Jeff and I enjoyed having most of our family together again.

One of our New Hampshire Reds...this was taken with the awesome zoom on our camera from about 40 feet away!
Princess on the hay...


Jeff with Alice and Riley with Madeline...Gracie is in the front.
This is Miracle, our little kid from last winter that we saved from the freezing temps. She is so sweet!
YES...Our little girl is riding without training wheels like a pro...(and I love the action shots on this camera too!) Daddy and I are so proud of you Riley Jo!
This is Jack soaking up the sun Saturday afternoon.

Saturday went down in the history books....Brandon beat Jeff in a one-on-one game! Picture HAD to be taken! Congratulations B! (11-27-10)
Brandon had his first JV basketball game of the season Saturday morning at Central...start of a tournament...they played Unity.

Jeff bought me a new hat...and this is the first picture taken with our new camera. (LOve the camera; verdict is still out on the hat!) :)

Brandon informed me that I needed to update our blog...

Mom and dad took us out for dinner before leaving for Florida...this is the best shot of the group, which includes my two nieces, Erica and Courtney and their children...Walker, Anna and Alex!

Me, I am thankful for my family this season, and for extended family members who are like my family...and friends who are irreplaceable...Happy Thanksgiving everyone!

a few pictures of the kids

Riley with Glitter and Majesty...her two 'build-a-bear' friends...(thanks for the updated outfits Aunt Elizabeth)
Jeff walked down the hallway yesterday morning and this is what he saw...I was taking them to school that morning and they were ready early.
I had to promise B that I wouldn't post picture on facebook before he let me take this one. I just love it when my kids are so loving! God is so good! Have a great day everybody! :)
